Left Partial Parotid, Partial Parotidectomy: | |||
- Pleomorphic adenoma. | |||
- Three benign lymph nodes. | |||

PAROTID GLAND MASS, RIGHT, EXCISION: | |||
- PLEOMORPHIC ADENOMA. | |||
- FOUR BENIGN LYMPH NODES. | |||
- NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY. | |||

Note: | |||
*Complete excision is often elusive; stating "completely excised" on a surgical pathology report is unwise.<ref name=IW_10jan2011>Weinreb I. 10 January 2011.</ref> | |||
===Micro=== | |||
The sections show a lesion with spindled (myoepithelial) cells and an epithelial component, on a background of a chondromyxoid stroma. The lesion is encapsulated by a thin layer of fibrous tissue. No nuclear atypia is apparent. Mitotic activity is not identified. | |||
Unremarkable parotid gland and lymph nodes are present. | |||
====Alternate==== | |||
The sections show a lesion with spindled (myoepithelial) cells and an epithelial component, | |||
on a background of a myxoid stroma. The lesion is mostly encapsulated by a thin layer of | |||
fibrous tissue. A small focus of macrophages is present. Significant nuclear atypia is | |||
not identified. Mitotic activity is not apparent. Unremarkable parotid gland and a | |||
morphologically benign lymph node are present. Ink is seen on the tumour. | |||
====Biopsy==== | |||
The sections show a lesion with spindled (myoepithelial) cells and an epithelial component, on a background of a chondromyxoid stroma. No nuclear atypia is apparent. Mitotic activity is not identified. | |||
<pre> | |||
The tumour stains as follows: | |||
POSITIVE: CK7, S-100, SMA, GFAP (patchy). | |||
NEGATIVE: (none). | |||
PROLIFERATION (Ki-67): <2%. | |||
