FOLLICULAR CELLS WITH MILD FOCAL ARCHITECTURAL ATYPIA. BETHESDA CLASS IIIctDNA7/11/2024RADIOLOGY REVIEW:MRI Abdomen 4/30/2025:Unchanged hepatic segment 2 lesion consistent with continued treatment response. No evidence of progressive or new metastatic disease in the abdomen. Near complete resolution of the wedge shaped lesion in hepaticsegment 8, which was previously thought to represent focal hepatictoxicity related to oxaliplatin. Focal liver lesions: Unchanged hepatic segment 2 lesion measuring up to 7 mm, likely representing treated metastatic disease (series 26 image 22), previously 2.3 cm on 08/20/2024. The reported cortical irregularity within hepatic segment 7 seen on prior study is not seen on today’s exam. Interval near complete resolution of the ill-defined wedge-shaped hypoenhancement hepatic segment 8.MRI Abdomen Liver 11/29/2024:Posttreatment changes related to previously seen hepatic lesions with decrease in size compared to the prior study consistent with treatment response. No new lesions identified. Ill-defined wedge shaped decreased uptake in hepatic segment 8 has also decreased in size compared to prior study which could be related to a no focal hepatic toxicity related to oxaliplatin.PET/CT 11/21/2024:Interval resolution of the previously seen four hypermetabolic liver lesions and hepatic segments 2, 7, and 8. Of note, small hepatic lesions are difficult to characterize with PET/CT accurately and would be better evaluated with MRI if there is clinical concern. Interval resolution of the hypermetabolic soft tissue nodules in the rectovesicular pouch.Persistent activity in the right hilar region, which is indeterminate.CT Body Consult 10/15/2024:The lesions seen on hepatobiliary phase of the prior MRI are much smaller on this exam. It is not certain whether this represents response to therapy or differences in technique, particularly given that the lesions could not be seen on portal venous phase of the prior MRI as well. Adequate comparison would require a repeat MRI examination with hepatobiliary phase. Stable indeterminate 8 mm solid nodule in the right lower lobe. This was not hypermetabolic on the prior CT examination, but a right hilar lymph node which measures at the upper limits of normal for size was hypermetabolic and could represent a metastasis. Small stable 7 mm groundglass nodule left lower lobe.MRI Abdomen Pelvis 8/28/2024:Vague hepatobiliary phase hypointense lesions in segment 2, 4A and 7, corresponding to FDG avid lesions on PET/CT 07/25/2024. The vague appearance of these lesions likely indicates treatment response. Previously described lesion in the liver dome in segment 8 on PET/CT is not seen on the current examination. Treated rectovesicular pouch lesions without evidence of residualmetastatic disease in the pelvis. Conventional hepatic arterial anatomy. Peripheral wedge-shaped area of hepatobiliary phase hypointensity in segment 8 without a correlate on other sequences is nonspecific, but is unlikely to represent metastatic disease.PET OSH 7/25/2024 CONSULTAt least four hypermetabolic liver lesions involving segment II, VII and VIII compatible with metastatic disease. Two intensely hypermetabolic soft tissue nodule deposits in the rectovesical pouch are compatible with metastatic diseaseSURGERY 7/1/2024Colonoscopy 5/29/2024Bone scan 5/22/2024CT AP OSH 5/7/2024CT AP 12/28/2023ASSESSMENT AND PLAN:Alexander R Towell is a 49 y.o. Non-Hispanic male with metastatic small bowel adenocarcinoma with liver and pelvis metastases who presents for second opinionMetastatic Terminal Ileum Adenocarcinoma, MSS, RAS WT, with liver and pelvic ? metastases- I reviewed with him and his wife his pathology report noting metastatic left liver adenocarcinoma compatible with colon primary. We also reviewed high risk features such as PNI and positive margin- I reviewed his prior scans noting that he had at least 4 liver lesions previously and only the left liver lesion is measurable on his last scan which was resected. We discussed that despite disappearance in scans, there is still likelihood that residual cancer cells remain viable and may become apparent with later imaging scans.- We discussed obtaining a post op baseline MRI abdomen with PET FDG given the he had prior pelvic lesions with FDG avidity and to confrim if there is truly residual disease.- We also discussed TEMPUS XT NGS as well as a ctDNA post op to assess for MRD.- I discussed that I am in favor of continuing systemic therapy in light of the positive margin and the multiple liver lesions seen prior.- duration of therapy unclear, but will need to reassess with scans, CEA and ctDNA serially- Today is cycle 1 as maintenance 5-FU. - He will return to clinic in 2 weeks for cycle 2 with restaging FDG PET/CT and MR abdomen/pelvisAll of his questions were answered. He understands and was in agreement with the plan of care. He knows to call the office in the interim with any symptoms, questions, or concerns.Crystal Wolf, PA-CWashington University School of Medicine Division of Medical OncologyIn collaboration with Dr. Benjamin TanCosigned by Benjamin Tan, MD at 08/13/2025 4:56 PM CDTElectronically signed by Crystal Wolf, PA at 08/12/2025 8:25 PM CDTElectronically signed by Benjamin Tan, MD at 08/13/2025 4:56 PM CDTdocumented in this encounter
