Satellitosis is the presence of separate tumour nodules that are close to the tumour.
Satellite nodules redirects here.
General
- Uncommon.[1]
- Poor prognosticator.
Gross
- Should be <2 cm from the tumour.[3]
Note:
- Tumour nodules further away are in-transit metastases or tumour deposits (in colorectal carcinoma).
Microscopic
- Tumour nodule(s) separated from the (main) tumour by normal tissue.[citation needed]
DDx:
- Tumour without satellitosis - nodule joins with main tumour in an out-of-plane section.
