1.  The specimen is labelled ‘sigmoid colon and rectum’ and consists of a portion of sigmoid colon and rectum measuring 185mm in length.  Sigmoid mesentery extends to a depth of 75mm.  Resection margins are stapled.  28mm from the distal resection margin, there is an ulcerated lesion with raised everted edges which extends around 90% of the circumference of the bowel.  The tumour measures 60mm in length and extends 15mm distal to the anterior peritoneal reflection and 45mm proximal to this reflection.  Occasional sessile polyps are noted elsewhere along the mucosa.  Sectioning through the tumour shows it to invade into the outer aspect of the muscularis propria to possibly just extend into adjacent pericolic fat.  The tumour extends close to the serosal surface approximately 10mm above the anterior peritoneal reflection.  Multiple lymph nodes are present within the pericolic fat.
2. The specimen is labelled ‘donuts’ and consists of two donuts of bowel tissue, one measuring 18mm in diameter and 6mm in length and the other 20mm in diameter and 15mm in length.",
