A margin is indeterminate margin when technical factors, orientation or biopsy preclude accurate assessment.
A. Left Partial Kidney, Partial Nephrectomy:
- CLEAR CELL RENAL CELL CARCINOMA.
-- Renal parenchymal specimen margin positive, see comment.
-- Please see synoptic report.
B. Left Kidney Margin, Re-excision:
- Benign renal parenchyma.
- NEGATIVE for malignancy.
Comment:
Overall, the margin status is indeterminate as the exact anatomical relationship between Part A and Part B is unknown.
If the margin re-excision (Part B) was at the location of the positive specimen margin in Part A, the margins are clear overall. Clinical correlation is required.
