A tumour deposit is a microscopic or macroscopic tumour nodule in the lymphatic drainage bed of the (primary) tumour. The term is applied in colorectal adenocarcinoma and has also been described in gastric cancer.[1]
It is also known as discoutinuous extramural extension and peritumoral deposit.
Conceptually, tumour deposits are like the in-transit metastases of malignant melanoma[2] and dermatopathology.
General
Significance:
- Poor prognosticator.
- Can be understood as a type of invasive front/border, e.g. well-circumscribed border versus infiltrative border.[3]
Definition
Definition - TNM/AJCC 7th edition:[4]
- Microscopic or macroscopic nodule in the lymphatic drainage bed of the tumour.
- No standardized distance (from tumour) criteria are defined.[3]
- No findings suggestive of it being a lymph node replaced by tumour:
- No significant lymphoid tissue.
- Irregular contour.
- Round nodules of tumour are considered lymph nodes that are replaced by tumour.
Notes:
- The definition of tumour deposit has changed significantly between the TMN/AJCC fifth, sixth and seventh editions.[4]
- Lesions that are not in the drainage bed of tumour are metastatic disease, pM1b.
Ueno criteria
Ueno et al. propose that a tumour deposit is either:[3]
- >=2 mm from the tumour front.
- >=2 mm (radially) from the deepest aspect of the muscularis propria, if the tumour is not present in the plane of section.
Staging
Staging implications in colorectal cancer:
- Tumour deposits are not counted as (positive) lymph nodes[4] and in the context of positive lymph nodes do not change the N stage.
- If no positive lymph nodes are present, the N stage is pN1c.
- The T stage is not affected by tumour deposits.[4]
