New surgeon at Huntsman ordered the pathology report and had their pathologist view the slide/cells. Could anyone help explain/decipher this? This is the original cancer diagnosis and I have no idea what it means or if I'm missing something. TIA for your help.

COLON, SIGMOID MASS AT 30 CM, BIOPSY:
- AT LEAST HIGH GRADE DYSPLASIA, CANNOT EXCLUDE ADENOCARCINOMA. SEE COMMENT.
Sections contain superficial fragments of dysplastic colonic epithelium with cribriforming architecture and high grade cytology, consistent with at least high grade dysplasia. Other fragments of
colonic mucosa have no significant abnormality. There are no areas of definitive desmoplasia or obvious invasion. However, these superficial fragments may not be representative of a mass seen
endoscopically.
Per report, immunohistochemical stains for mismatch repair proteins MLH1, PMS2, MSH2, and MSH6 showed normal expression.
