Foreword Gross pathology, a vital part of histopathology, is absolutely necessary in the curriculum of MBBS undergraduates, pathology residents and paramedical students. There is a lacuna in the availability of books which specifically focus on gross features and differential diagnoses of pathological specimens commonly asked in the exams. One has to go through multiple books to gather all the information, which is not only a time consuming task but also adds to a lot of confusion due to discrepancy in different books. This book entitled Essentials of Gross Pathology authored by Dr Ila Tyagi, Dr Namrata Nargotra, Dr Dipti Kalita, Dr Abhijit Das, Dr Srishti Gupta and Dr Ritu Arora is a unique publication. It is no exaggeration when I say that this book is an "all-in-one" practical gross pathology book as it covers all aspects of histopathology specimens for undergraduate's practical examination. It is a one stop source of in-depth and detailed information on the subject written in a very lucid, concise and bullet point form. I am sure this book will be of immense benefit to one and all working in this field . It is my privilege and honor to be invited to contribute the foreword for this comprehensive practical book on gross pathology. I can imagine the hard work put in by the authors preparing this book . I congratulate all of them and specially Dr . Ila Tyagi for initiating such a venture, leading the team, her untiring efforts and her valuable contributions to the subject. I wish all the authors the very best in their future endeavors! Lastly, I thank CBS Publishing House Ltd., New Delhi, for håving readily agreed to publish the book. I know they are second to none in the publication of a series of medical books of value.

Preface Gross pathology refers to macroscopic manifestation of diseases in organs, tissues and body cavities. Grossing is the first step in surgical pathology and extremely important for correct interpretation and diagnosis. Though several good books on pathology are available for students' consumption, there is a paucity of books on gross pathology. This book serves as a practical guide for the undergraduate museum in all the aspects of gross pathology, i.e. reception of the specimen, fixation, gross examination and dissection, and differential diagnosis and techniques of mounting of the specimens. It includes basic introduction to grossing techniques, a discussion of typical specimen types and a strategic approach to the specimen along with schematic pictures illustrating the same progressing through each organ system. The chapters have been organized in the following fashion. Each chapter begins with a brief review of the normal anatomy of an organ followed by its grossing techniques. We then discuss the salient gross features of important specimens that frequently occur in undergraduate examinations. The chapter ends with a discussion on differential diagnosis focusing predominantly on gross pathology. There are numerous gross pictures and schematic diagrams to illustrate the normal anatomy, grossing techniques and pathology. This book is unique for three reasons. Firstly, it is based on gross pathology—a very crucial aspect of histopathology. Secondly, it provides an accurate and quick description of surgical and autopsy specimens that is easy to digest for students. Lastly, it offers differential diagnosis of important specimens commonly asked in examinations. This book has been compiled after extensive research of current examination trends based on our discussions and continuous interactions with students and faculty alike. In our constant endeavor to keep this book current with examination trends, all suggestions for further improvement are welcomed . We sincerely hope that this book will be of immense help to undergraduate students in their practicals and viva voce examinations.

Box 5.3 Cl888ical Hodgkin Lymphoma Nodular scl6rosis classics/ Hodgkin lymphoma • Nodular growth pattern with broad birefringent collagen bands surrounding at least one nodule. • In addition to the classic Reed-Sternberg cell (arrow), characteristic lacunar type of RS are present. These cells have abundant clear cytoplasm, muHilobulated nuclei with distinctive perioellular halo. These cells appear lacunar due to the shrinkage of cytOplasm in formalin-fixed tissue (absent in tissues fixed in B-5 or Zenker). • Syncytial variant: prominent aggregates of lacunar cells.
Mixsd C6/lularity classical Hodgkin lymphoma • Effaced lymph node arohitecture. • Classic Reed-Sternberg cells (which tend to be numerous) and atypical mononuclear cells are admixed with in a variable inflammatory background (eosinophils, histiocytes, neutrophils, plasma cells). • Focal necrosis may be present, but fibrosis should be minimal or absent. Lymphocyts-rich classical Hodgkin lymphoma • Two growth patterns: nodular (common) and diffuse (rare). • Characterized by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells scattered against a nodular (most commonly) or diffuse background largely composed of small lymphocytes. • Background is devoid of eosinophils, neutrophils and necrosis or fibrosis not seen. Lymphocyts-dspletsd classical Hodgkin lymphoma • In this type of HD, the lymph node is depleted of lymphocytes. There are two variants of lymphocyte-depletion HD.
T-cell Lymphoma
Mantle cell lymphoma and DLBCL represent intermediate grade B-cell lymphoma. High grade B-cell lymphoma include Burkitt lymphoma and precursor B-lymphoblastic leukemia/ lymphoma.
Mature T-cell and natural killer cell malignancies are rare, accounting for only 10-12% of all NHL, usually more aggressive than B cell lymphoma. The most common subtypes are peripheral T cell lymphoma and anaplastic large cell lymphoma.

GROSSING LYMPH NODE
Lymph Node Biopsy Lymph node biopsies are commonly done for: 1. Diagnosis of lymphoma. 2. Evaluation of metastasis. 3. Diagnosis of inf-ectious disease.
Gross Procedure 1. If lymph node is received in fresh state cut 2-3 mm slices perpendicular to its long axis and a. If infectious disease is suspected send small amount of tissue for culture. b. If hematolymphoid malignancy is suspected submit tissue for flow cytometry, cytogenetics and molecular genetics. 2. Make touch imprint smears by gently touching the cut surface on alcohol cleaned glass slid~fix in methanol and stain one with Wright Giemsa stain and other with hematoxylin and eosin stain. 3. Place one of the slices in fixative and kept for histopathological examination. 4. If lymph node is received in fixative cut2-3 mm slices and submit.
Gross Description 1. Fixed or fresh when received. 2. Condition of the capsule. 3. Appearance of the cut surface. Fig. 5.7: Gross teatres of omyloldosls spleen.
Box 5.8 Amyloidoeie Spleen
Sections for Histology 1. Cross-section of node including part of capsule. 2. If the objective of dissection is to rule out metastasis and if the tumor is grossly visible, a section that includes tumor is sufficient. If not, the lymph node is sectioned in 2-3 mm slices and all the slices are submitted. 3. One cassette should be used for one lymph node unless colored ink is used to distinguish different lymph nodes.
SPLEEN
Splenectomy specimen: Splenectomy is the removal of the entire spleen after ligating the splenic artery and vein. Gross Procedure 1. Spleen should be received in the laboratory fresh and immediately after excision.

Essentials of Grou Pathology
2. Weigh and measure the specimen. 3. Examine the capsule-intact or lacerated, tense or wrinkled. 4. Examine the hilum for lymph nodes. 5. Cut the spleen using a long sharp blade in any plane into thin slices. 6. Examine the cut surfaces for appearance of red pulp and white pulp and any lesion. a. Expansion of red pulp gives cut surface a diffuse red appearance. b. Expansion of white pulp gives rise to white nodules in a red background. c. H nodules are present, document the number of descrete nodules. 7. If the lymph node has been removed for hematopoieti.c malignancy and nodules is found a. First prepare four to five touch smears and next submit fresh tissue for irnmunophenotyping, cytogenetics and molecular genetics. b. Submit representative sections from nodules for light microscopy. 8. H storage disease is suspected tissue should be fixed in gluterald.ehyde for electron microscopy.
9. If infectious pathology is suspected fresh tissue should be sent for culture.

For traumatic rupture of spleen, submit two to four sections of the splenic parenchyma. H nodules are present, at least one section representing each type and one section that includes splenic capsule. In case of incidental splenectomy, one to two section is adequate if spleen appears grossly normal.

Respiratory system is an outgrowth from ventral wall of the foregut, developmentally. Trachea gives rise to 2 main bronchi-left and right. Left bronchus (Fig. 6.1) divides into 2 lobar bronchi and.right bronchus into three lobar bronchi, thus giving rise to two lobes on the left and three lobes on the right. Right main bronchus (Fig. 6.1) is more vertical, so aspirated foreign materials enter into right lung more than left. Progressive branching of bronchi forms bronchioles which differ from bronchiby lack of cartilage and submucosal glands. Further branching of bronchioles leads to terminal bronchioles which measure 10/10 hpf, larger cells with vesicular, coarse or fine chromatin, visible nucleoli and less intense neuroendocrine markers positivity. c

Adenocarcinoma of Stomach Adenocarcinoma is the most common malignancy of stomach. They are common in low socioeconomic groups, individuals with multifocal mucosa! atrophy and intestinal metaplasia. It can be classified into two types based on histology-intestinal and diffuse infiltrative types. They are often discovered at advanced stages presenting with anorexia, weight loss, altered bowel habits and anemia. Two important prognostic indicators of gastric cancer are depth of invasion, lymph nodal and distant metastasis at the time of diagnosis.

Gastric mucosa shows enlarged and cerebriform rugae. Histoptdhology: Foveolar hyperplasia with atrophy of fundic glands, elongated and tortuous superficial pits, at places dilated pits may extend through muscularis mucosae. Muscularis mucosae shows hyperplasia and extends upwards between glands. Box 8.7 Gastric Polyp Hyperplaatlc polyp: Branched and elongated foveolar pits in background of Inflamed and edematous lamlna proprla, may show surface ulceratlon or regenerative glands or granulation tissue.

Virch.ow's node is the supraclavi.cular sentinel lymph node, where gastric carcinoma metastasis may first be detected. Sister Mary Joseph nodules are subcutaneous nodules at periumbilical region, resulting from metastatic deposits of gastric cancer. Intestinal Type
It develops from precursor lesions like flat dysplasia and ad.enomas. Mean age of presentation is 55 years with M:F ratio of 2:1. It expands centripetally into the gastric lumen and wall and has a better prognosis. Microscopically, it is characterised by tubular and acinar pattern of growth of tumor cells in the stomach wall. Diffuse Gastric Cancer
Diffuse gastric cancer has no identifiable precursor lesions. There is equal gender preponderance. It occurs in younger patients and has a poor prognosis. Microscopically, it is characterised by signet ring cells infiltrating the stomach wall. Salient Gross Features
Gross features of adenocarcinoma of stomach are shown in Fig. 8.6 1. Adenocarcinoma usually involves gastric antrum. 2. Lesser curvature involved more than greater curvature. 3. Intestinal type: Presents as bulky tumor with exophytic mass or an ulcerated tumor. 4. Diffuse type: Presents as an infiltrative tumor. Usually there is no mass, but stomach wall is stiff (desmoplastic reaction) which is a diagnostic clue. Rugae are flattened diffusely and wall is thickened leading to leather bottle appearance or linitis plastica.

GastrolntesHnal Tract Box 8.8 Adenocarclnoma Stomach • Many histological classifications, according to WHOpapillary, tubular, mucinous, signet ring type. Most commonly used Lauren's classification-intestinal type and diffuse type. • Intestinal type forms glands with dysplastic epithelial lining, whereas diffuse type shows mucin filled signet ring oell (red arrow) infiltration with intense desmoplastic response. • IHC: CK (positive), PAS, Alcian blue, mucicarmine (mucin stain in signet ring cells, also positive in mucinophages, Alcian blue shows dark blue globoid in goblet cells, PAS shows magenta color in foveolar cells).
Infarction can be of two types-mucosal/mural and trans.mural infarct. Causes of intestinal ischemia are given in Box 8.9. Gross features of gangrene intestine are shown in Fig. 8.7. Mucosal and mural infarction 1. Affected segment is dark red or purple due to luminal hemorrhage. 2. Lacks hemorrhage and exudation on serosal aspect. 3. Mucosa may be ulcerated. 4. Bowel wall is thickened.
TransmUl'al infarction 1. Spleztic flexure is the commonest site. 2. There is sharp dem.arcation between normal and ischemic bowel in arterial occlusion. 3. Infarction is of hemorrhagic type (red infarct) and bowel is intensely congested purple-red in color. 4. Blood-tinged mucus or frank blood fills the lumen and the wall becomes edematous, thickened and rubbery along with purulent exudates and fibrin deposition over the serosal surface. 5. Perforation may be noted in muscularis propria. Necrosis is death of a group of cells, often accompanied by an inflammatory infiltrate. It is a result of three factors, namely (a) denaturation of intracellular proteins, (b) enzymatic digestion of lethally injured cells, (c) loss of membrane integrity. On the basis of etiology and morphology, following types of necrosis are identified-t-E·2-~ ulcer

Enteric fever (Table 8.7) Ulcerative Colitis mcerative colitis is a severe ulcerating inflammatory disease, limited to colon and rectum. It involves only mucosa and submucosa. It is caused by a combination of defects in host interaction with intestinal microbiota, intestinal epithelial dysfunction and aberrant mucosal immune responses. tncerative colitis is a relapsing disorder, characterised by bloody diarrhoea with stringy, mucoid material, lower abdominal pain and cramps, temporarily relieved by d.efaecation. Depending upon the segment involved, the nomenclature is as follows: • Pancolitis: Disease of entire colon. • Left-sided disease: Rectum; ascending colon, transverse colon. • Ulcerative proctitis: Rectal involvement. Box 8.15 Intestinal Tuberculoeia • Caseating epilhelioid cell granulomas with Langhans' giant cells (arrow) in all layers of intestine. • Muscle layers may show variable fibrosis. • Sloughed out mucosa! surface with areas of ulceration.

Osteosarcoma Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumor that produces bone matrix, i.e. osteoid. It comprises 20% of primary bone cancers. It has bimodal age distribution with M:F ratio of 1.6:1. About 75% of
a
osteosarcomas occur below 20 yrs of age, while 25% are seen in elderly, in setting of Paget disease of bone, bone infarcts or prior irradiation. It originates from metaphyseal regions of lone bones of extremities (50% around knee joint, others: flat bones of pelvis, upper end humerus, jaw bones, etc.). Mostly it arises in medullary cavity (can be intracortical or surface origin). Frequently it is a primary, solitary, intramedullary tumor arising in metaphysis of long bone. Clinically it presents with painful, progressive enlarging mass (Note: Fracture may be the first symptom). Radiograph shows a large, destructive, mixed lytic and blastic mass with infiltrative margins. Tumor breaks through cortex, lifts periosteum, causing a triangular shadow between cortex and raised periosteum known as Codman triangle (characteristic, but not diagnostic of osteosarcoma). Treatment is multimodality approach including chemotherapy and limb salvaging surgery. Conventional lntramedullary Osteosarcoma Conventional osteosarcoma shows a bimodal age distribution, mostly occurring in 2nd decade with a second small peak in patients older than 50 years of age. Hereditary retinoblastoma patients are at an increased risk of developing osteosarcoma. Most common sites are distal femur, proximal tibia and proximal humerus. Patients typically present with short term mild, intermittent pain. Some cases may show elevated level of serum alkaline phosphatase. Imaging shows a large lytic or sclerotic or mixed lytic-sclerotic in medullary bone of metaphysis lesion that may extend through cortex producing a soft tissue mass. Salient Gross Features

Gross features of chondromyxoid fibroma are shown in Fig. 14.14. • It shows a circumscribed, lobulated, soft, grey white tumor. • Some tumors show hemorrhagic and cystic areas. • Myxoid areas may be seen occasionally. Microscopic Features
Microscopic features of chondromyxoid fibroma are shown in Box 14.15. Differential Diagnosis
• Chondroblastoma: Epiphyseal, chicken wire calcifications (both radiologically and histologically). • Medullary chondrosarcoma: Older patients, predominantly in axial skeleton, poorly circumscribed, calcification present, cortical destruction.
Chondrosarcoma lntramedullary Chondrosarcoma (Conventional) Chondrosarcoma is a malignant tumor of chondroblast.
Chondromyxold Flbroma Chondromyxoid fibroma occurs in 2nd and 3rd decades of life with a M:F ratio of 1.5:1. It predominantly occurs in metaphysis of long bones of lower extremities. Most common sites are distal femur and proximal tibia. Patients usually present with pain of long duration. Radiography shows an eccentric, expansile, lobulated metaphyseal mass, sometimes extending into epiphysis.
a
Box 14.14 Chondroblastoma • Immature stromal cells (chondroblast), multinucleated giant cells, chondroid matrix. • Stromal cells with fried egg appearance (centrally placed round nucleus and abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm), nuclear grooving. • Infrequent mitosis without atypical forms. • Linear calcification surrounding stromal cells giving chicken wire appearance. • May have secondary cystic or myxoid changes.
b Fig. 14.14a, b: Gross picture exhibits a circumscribed, lobulated. greyish brown tumour which on cut surface shows myxoid and cysttc areas (arrow).
Essentials of Gross Pathology Box 14.15 Chondromyxoid Fibroma • Lobulated myxoid area, composed of stellate or spindle cells with hypercellularity at periphery. • Lobules separated by fibrous tissue containing a few multinucleatted giant cells. • May have bizarre cells with pleomorphic hyperchromatic nuclei or cystic changes or foci of necrosis.
Conventional chondrosarcoma is seen in older (rare below 45 years of age) patients with a (M:F) ratio of 1.5:1. It has a predilection for trunk. Pelvis, ribs, proximal femur and proximal humerus can also be affected. Patients complain of dull aching pain at rest that is worsened at night. Radiography shows a radiolucent mass with variable calcification and cortical destruction. Cortical thickening represents extension into Haversian system. Cartilaginous tumors of hands and feet usually behave as benign lesions, while cartilaginous tumors of axial skeleton are usually aggressive. Salient Gross Features Gross features of intramedullary chondrosarcoma (conventional) are shown in Fig. 14.15. • Chondrosarcoma may vary in size from a few centimeters to extremely large tumor with firm consistency. • It shows a nodular mass with blue, grey, glistening and translucent cartilaginous tissue. • Periphery of tumor shows yellowish areas of calcifications. • Tumor may show foci of hemorrhage, necrosis and myxoid degeneration. • Presence of fleshy tissue on cut section represents high grade tumors.

Microscopic Features
Microscopic features of intramedullary chondrosarcoma (conventional) are shown in Box 14.16. Differential Diagnosis
• Enchondroma: Typically not painful, radiologically intramedullary translucent lesion without cortical destruction. Histology similar to grade 1 chondrosarcoma, however, it shows chondroid lobules separated by normal hematopoietic tissue, whereas chondrosarcoma shows chondroid lobules separated by fibrous tissue. • Fracture callus: Benign chondrocytes, specific clinical and radiological features. • Chondroblastic osteosarcoma: Tumor osteoid present, prominent periosteal reaction, younger age group than chondrosarcoma. Dedifferentiated Chondrosarcoma
Dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma is a rare tumor representing about 10% of all chondrosarcomas. It occurs in older patients with equal sex distribution. Most common sites are femur, pelvis and humerus. Patients present with recent increase in pain and rapidly enlarging mass. Most patients have pathological fracture. Radiography shows two distinct areas-poorly defined lytic areas that exhibit cortical destruction and expansion with soft tissue mass formation and other radiodense areas containing calcification characteristic of chondroid differentiation. Characteristic histology shows abrupt and sharply demarcated transition zone between Box 14.16 lntramedullary Chondrosarcoma • Chondroid matrix with variable cellularity. • Chondrocytes with hyperchromatic nuclei in clusters along with occasional giant cells. • Mitosis present, foci of necrosis.

Plantar fibromatosis (Ledderhose disease): It occurs on plantar surface, non-weight bearing area of foot. It is seen both in children and adults.
PATHOLOGY FIBROBLASTIC/MYOFIBROBLASTIC TUMORS
Penile fibromatosis (Peyronie's disease): It is seen on dorsal aspect of penis of adults. Sometimes fibromatoses may be associated with diabetes, cirrhosis and epilepsy.
Superflclal Flbromatosls
Superficial fibromatosis is a tumor like lesion of fibrous tissue, regarded as non-metastasizing fibroblastic tumor. It invades locally and recurs after surgical excision. It presents as a small, slow growing subcutaneous nodule or thickening. There are three types of superficial fibromatoses-palmar, plantar and penile fibromatosis.
Salient Gross Features
Gross features of superficial fibromatosis are shown in Fig. 15.1. • It shows single or multiple firm nodules or scar-like tissue in subcutis. • Cut section is grey white. • Necrosis or hemorrhage is not seen.
Palmar fibromatosis (Dupuytren contracture): It is seen on palmar surface of hands and may result in contracture. It occurs mostly in adults with male predominance and often bilateral in alcoholics. 249
