Frozen Section Examination

We present 3 patients with testicular epidermoid cysts who experienced testis-sparing surgery. These patients had a palpable painless testicular mass and underwent inguinal testicular exploration. Intraoperative frozen section revealed no evidence of malignancy and therefore enucleation of the tumour was performed. We demonstrate that careful intraoperative frozen-section examination helps to avoid unnecessary orchidectomy in testicular epidermoid cysts.

Background: To evaluate the accuracy and the pitfalls of frozen section examination in diagnosis the common tumors at Hue University Hospital. Materials and method: A retrospective analysis data of 99 consecutive patients from 2007 to 2009 were evaluated and analyzed the major pitfalls. In our 99 patients, 100% cases we compared histological diagnosis on frozen sections with those on paraffin sections. Results: The majority of frozen section examinations were the thyroid lesions 37.4%, breast lesions 25.2%, lymph nodes 16.1%, ovary 9.1% and less common in other diseases (12.1%). The accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of the intraoperative frozen section examination were 93.9%, 89.1% and 98.1% respectively. The main factors causing incorrect diagnosis in frozen section are: Misinterpretation, poor quality of frozen sections, improper sampling in sectioning and difficult to result interpretation. Conclusion: The frozen section analysis of suspect lesions displays good sensitivity and specificity characteristics.

Early Stage Cervical Cancer

ObjectiveIn early-stage cervical cancer, single modality therapy is the main objective, to minimize patient morbidity while offering equivalent cure rates. Intraoperative frozen section examination (FSE) of lymph nodes (LNs) can facilitate this aim, ensuring that radical surgery is avoided in patients requiring adjuvant therapy for metastatic LN involvement. We aimed to evaluate the accuracy of routine intraoperative FSE of pelvic LNs during the surgical staging of early-stage cervical cancers and identify a group at low risk for nodal metastases.MethodsA retrospective cohort study of 94 women aged 23 to 80 years who underwent primary surgery and planned intraoperative FSE of the pelvic LNs at the gynecological cancer center in Oxford was performed. The diagnostic value of FSE and the prediction of metastatic nodal disease were assessed by use of preoperative and intraoperative variables.ResultsA total of 1825 LNs were submitted for FSE. Of 94 women (13.8%), 13 had positive LNs at FSE. Two false-negative cases were reported with micrometastases but no false-positive cases. Frozen section examination as a diagnostic test reached a sensitivity of 86.7% and a specificity of 100%. A regression model including grade I to II and tumor size of less than 20 mm identified a low-risk group for LN involvement.ConclusionsIn light of diverse practice patterns, FSE should be routinely offered to women with early-stage cervical cancer in a 1-step protocol. We equally devised a model to predict those patients at least risk of nodal disease, who may be spared of FSE.

Simultaneous resection of synchronous hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is extremely rare. Case 1 is a 64-year-old woman, who had undergone anterior resection for rectal cancer 3 years earlier was pointed out to have a cystic tumor in the pancreatic tail and a solitary tumor in the liver. CT revealed a hypovascular tumor in the pancreatic tail and a liver tumor with early enhancement. With a diagnosis of simultaneous HCC and PDAC, she underwent laparotomy, in which intraoperative frozen section examination of the liver was compatible with HCC. Therefore, she underwent hepatic resection as well as distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy. The patient received adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 and remains well with no evidence of tumor recurrence as of 28 months after resection. Case 2 is a 73-year-old man with sustained viral response to antiviral treatment for hepatitis C virus, who was pointed out to have a tumor in the pancreatic head and a solitary tumor in the liver. Gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI exhibited enhancement compatible with HCC. With a diagnosis of concomitant HCC and PDAC, surgery was performed. Intraoperative frozen section examination was compatible with HCC, for which a pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed. The patient received adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 and remains well with no evidence of tumor recurrence as of 16 months after resection. In conclusion, we describe 2 cases of hepato-pancreatectomy for synchronous double primary cancers of the pancreas and the liver, where exclusion of the liver tumor as a metastatic lesion from the pancreatic cancer is important.
