Tumour deposit versus metastasis

Submitted as "Peritoneal Implant", Excision:
- ADENOCARCINOMA, compatible with colonic primary, see comment.

Comment:
The location of the implant is not provided. If it is in the drainage bed of the 
tumour it is a tumour deposit. If it is outside of the drainage bed of the tumour 
it is metastatic disease. Clinical correlation is suggested.
