The range of lesions with a serrated appearance within the large intestine has expanded and become more complex over the last 30 years. The majority of these were previously known as metaplastic polyps but are today called hyperplastic polyps (HPs). HPs show two main growth patterns: microvesicular and goblet cell-rich. The former type shows morphological and molecular similarities (eg, BRAF mutations) to the more recently described sessile serrated lesion (SSL). In this review, we debate whether these lesions represent a biological spectrum or separate entities...

AIMS: To investigate the clinicopathological features, immunophenotypes and differential diagnosis of CD5-positive splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL). METHODS: We retrospectively analysed 16 CD5-positive cases of SMZL. Assess their clinicopathological features and survival outcomes to evaluate their similarities and differences with a control group of 25 CD5-negative cases of SMZL. RESULTS: Compared with CD5-negative patients, CD5-positive SMZL tends to be more prone to B symptoms, peripheral lymphadenopathy and extranodal infiltration, high Ann Arbor stage, high International Prognostic Index scores, high serum lactic dehydrogenase and high rates of bone marrow involvement...

The mouse double minute 2 ( MDM2 ) gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 12 and is the primary negative regulator of p53. The MDM2 gene encodes an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that mediates the ubiquitination of p53, leading to its degradation. MDM2 enhances tumour formation by inactivating the p53 tumour suppressor protein. The MDM2 gene also has many p53-independent functions. Alterations of MDM2 may occur through various mechanisms and contribute to the pathogenesis of many human tumours and some non-neoplastic diseases...

Diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) is the histological expression of acute respiratory distress syndrome and characterises lung pathology due to infection with SARS-CoV-2, and other respiratory pathogens of clinical significance. DAD reflects a time-dependent immunopathological process, progressing from an early/exudative stage through to an organising/fibrotic stage, yet within an individual these different stages of DAD may coexist. Understanding the progression of DAD is central to the development of new therapeutics to limit progressive lung damage...

AIMS: Preferentially expressed antigen in melanoma (PRAME) recently is a reliable immunohistochemistry (IHC) marker for distinguishing melanoma from other lesions. However, there are few articles focused on PRAME use in acral malignant melanoma, the most common type in Asians. This study investigated PRAME IHC expression in a large series of acral malignant melanoma in situ to add to the body of clinical knowledge. METHODS: PRAME IHC was performed in unequivocal cases of primary acral lentiginous melanoma in situ (ALMIS), subungual melanoma in situ (SMIS) and acral recurrent nevi as the control...

Fat embolism syndrome is a rare but underdiagnosed complication of sickle cell disease associated with high morbidity and mortality. It affects predominantly patients with a previously mild course of their illness and those of non-SS genotypes while there is possibly an association with infection with human parvovirus B19 (HPV B19). Here, we present the mortality rates and autopsy findings of all reported cases to date. A systematic review has revealed 99 published cases in the world literature with a mortality rate of 46%...

Roberto Verna
This review summarises the long period in which man has approached nature to understand its powers, and has tried to control it through physical and chemical, and also magical, practices. From the attempt to manage nature to the development of primordial drugs and medical practices and later to achieve modern biomedical science, laboratory practices always played a pivotal role. Over the years and centuries, the laboratory has acquired more and more importance in the improvement of health.In addition to the well-known importance of laboratory medicine in the early diagnosis and appropriateness, the discoveries of the last 50 years have also given the Laboratory a decisive role in regenerative and personalised medicine...

AIMS: The lack of accepted scoring criteria has precluded the use of p53 in routine practice. We evaluate the utility of automated quantitative p53 analysis in risk stratifying Barrett's oesophagus (BE) patients using non-dysplastic BE (NDBE) biopsies in a multicentric cohort of BE progressor (P) and non-progressor (NP) patients. METHODS: NDBE biopsies prior to the diagnosis of advanced neoplasia from 75 BE-P, and index and last surveillance biopsies from 148 BE-NP were stained for p53, and scored digitally as 1+, 2+ and 3+...

Newton Acs Wong
Resections of ischaemic bowel are one of the most common pathology specimens yet are often viewed as unappealing and diagnostically unrewarding. This article serves to dispel both misconceptions. It also provides guidance on how clinical information, macroscopic handling and microscopic assessment-and especially the interlinking of all three-can maximise the diagnostic yield of these specimens. This diagnostic process requires recognition of the wide range of causes of intestinal ischaemia, including several more recently described entities...

AIMS: Identification and characterisation of monoclonal gammopathies of renal significance (MGRS) is critical for therapeutic purposes. Amyloidosis represents one of the most common forms of MGRS, and renal biopsy remains the gold standard for their classification, although mass spectrometry has shown greater sensitivity in this area. METHODS: In the present study, a new in situ proteomic technique, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI), is investigated as an alternative to conventional laser capture microdissection MS for the characterisation of amyloids...

Ki67 expression is one of the most important and cost-effective surrogate markers to assess for tumour cell proliferation in breast cancer (BC). The Ki67 labelling index has prognostic and predictive value in patients with early-stage BC, particularly in the hormone receptor-positive, HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) - negative (luminal) tumours. However, many challenges exist in using Ki67 in routine clinical practice and it is still not universally used in the clinical setting. Addressing these challenges can potentially improve the clinical utility of Ki67 in BC...

AIMS: Despite efficacy of anti-PD-1 blockade in treatment of metastatic melanoma (MM), many patients achieve rapid disease progression (DP). Therefore, the aim of this study is to better define biomarkers for DP by analysing levels of circulating cytokines TGF-β, IFN-γ, IL-6, IL-8 and IL-10 in MM patients prior to anti-PD-1 therapy. METHODS: Cytokine levels were evaluated before therapy with pembrolizumab in peripheral blood of BRAF wild-type (wt) MM patients by ELISA method...

AIMS: Even though extensive melanoma sentinel node (SN) pathology protocols increase metastasis detection, there is a need for balancing high detection rates with reasonable workload. A newly tested Danish protocol recommended examining nodes at six levels 150 µm apart (six-level model) and using SOX10 and Melan-A immunohistochemistry (IHC). We explored if a protocol examining 3 levels 300 µm apart (three-level model) combined with IHC would compromise metastasis detection. The study aim was to optimise the protocol to reduce workload without compromising detection rate...

Interrogation of immune response in autopsy material from patients with SARS-CoV-2 is potentially significant. We aim to describe a validated protocol for the exploration of the molecular physiopathology of SARS-CoV-2 pulmonary disease using multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF).The application of validated assays for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in tissues, originally developed in our laboratory in the context of oncology, was used to map the topography and complexity of the adaptive immune response at protein and mRNA levels...
