A family requests an autopsy. The mother just died from lung cancer (small cell carcinoma). They explain she had lung cancer surgery 10 years ago. They’re concerned the surgeon didn’t get it all out the first time.

A son calls to request an autopsy on his father. The father has a long history of cardiovascular disease: two heart attacks, a coronary artery bypass, and a stent. He started to have chest pain again, had another stent put in, then died after the procedure.

You receive a call from a family requesting an autopsy. Their loved one died one month after being hit by a car. There had been severe abdominal injuries including a lacerated pancreas and ruptured spleen.

"They took out half his pancreas and his spleen," they explain, detailing his operation. After the operation, the patient got sicker and sicker and continued to drain pancreatic juice into his abdomen. Ultimately, he got an abdominal infection and died.

During the autopsy, you see that the spleen was removed. You begin evaluating the pancreas.

Suddenly, you turn to your assistant.

"We better look at the pathology report from the operation," you say.

Which of these could you have seen?
