Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) specimens present a challenge for surgical
pathologists because of the relative rarity of these specimens, combined with the
anatomic complexity. Here, we describe our experience on the orientation,
dissection, and sampling of PD specimens for a more practical and accurate
evaluation of pancreatic, distal common bile duct (CBD), and ampullary tumors.
For orientation of PDs, identification of the "trapezoid," created by the
vascular bed at the center, the pancreatic neck margin on the left, and the
uncinate margin on the right, is of outmost importance in finding all the
pertinent margins of the specimen including the CBD, which is located at the
upper right edge of this trapezoid. After orientation, all the margins can be
sampled. We submit the uncinate margin entirely as a perpendicular inked margin
because this adipose tissue-rich area often reveals subtle satellite carcinomas
that are grossly invisible, and, with this approach, the number of R1 resections
has doubled in our experience. Then, to ensure proper identification of all lymph
nodes (LNs), we utilize the orange-peeling approach, in which the soft tissue
surrounding the pancreatic head is shaved off in 7 arbitrarily defined regions,
which also serve as shaved samples of the so-called "peripancreatic soft tissue"
that defines pT3 in the current American Joint Committee on Cancer TNM. With this
approach, our LN count increased from 6 to 14 and LN positivity rate from 50% to
73%. In addition, in 90% of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas there are grossly
undetected microfoci of carcinoma. For determination of the primary site and the
extent of the tumor, we believe bisectioning of the pancreatic head, instead of
axial (transverse) slicing, is the most revealing approach. In addition,
documentation of the findings in the duodenal surface of the ampulla is crucial
for ampullary carcinomas and their recent site-specific categorization into 4
categories. Therefore, we probe both the CBD and the pancreatic duct from distal
to the ampulla and cut the pancreatic head to the ampulla at a plane that goes
through both ducts. Then, we sample the bisected pancreatic head depending on the
findings of the case. For example, for proper staging of ampullary carcinomas, it
is imperative to take the sections perpendicular to the duodenal serosa at the
"groove" area, as ampullary carcinomas often extend to this region. Amputative
(axial) sectioning of the ampulla, although good for documentation of the
peri-Oddi spread of the intra-ampullary tumors, unfortunately disallows
documentation of mucosal spread of the papilla of Vater tumors (those arising
from the edge of the ampulla, where the ducts transition to duodenal mucosa and
extending) into the neighboring duodenum. Axial sectioning also often fails to
document tumor spread to the "groove" area. In conclusion, knowledge of the gross
characteristics of the anatomic hallmarks is essential for proper dissection of
PD specimens. The approach described above allows practical and accurate
documentation and staging of pancreas, distal CBD, and ampullary cancers.
