Epithelioid glioblastoma (E-GBM) is an exceedingly rare subtype of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-wildtype glioblastoma, first included in the WHO 2016 classification and characterized by a dominant population of epithelioid cells. Its histological and molecular defining features remain troublesome. The significance of BRAF mutations to pathological diagnosis and surgical outcome has drawn increasing attention given their promising potential for future adjuvant therapies. Herein, we describe a unique case of an E-GBM in the atrium of the left lateral ventricle and comprehensively analyze the importance of BRAF status in a cohort of 211 E-GBMs from the literature...

Introduction: The etiology of esophageal squamous papilloma (ESP) is largely unknown. Previous studies have shown a variable association with human papillomavirus (HPV) with conflicting data. The aim of this study was to further investigate the possible association of HPV in our ESP series using RNA in-situ hybridization (ISH) and compare study groups from the United States of America and China. Methods: Demographic and clinical data of patients with ESP were retrieved from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) (1/2016-3/2019) and Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH) (9/2014-3/2019) pathology databases...

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a nonhepatotropic virus. It causes mild self-limiting illness characterized by fever, oral ulcer, diarrhea, lymphadenopathy, and hepatosplenomegaly. Rarely it causes acute liver failure (ALF). EBV-related ALF (EBV-ALF) accounts for 0.2% of all ALF cases. The prognosis of EBV-ALF is dismal, and it can affect both immunocompromised and immunocompetent individuals. We performed a partial autopsy on a 30-year-old immunocompetent individual with infectious mononucleosis and ALF. The autopsy showed characteristic histomorphology of EBV-ALF in the form of centrizonal confluent hepatocytic necrosis, portal mixed inflammatory infiltrate, sinusoidal lymphocytosis, numerous hemophagocytic figures, and tissue Epstein-Barr encoded RNA-in situ hybridization (EBER-ISH) positivity...

Reactive cutaneous capillary endothelial proliferation (RCCEP) is the most common immune-related adverse event induced by camrelizumab (SHR-1210). Very rare cases have been reported in oral tissues, especially the oral mucosa. We reported a 67-year-old male with Grade 3 RCCEP. Multiple dome-shaped and bright red papules were first observed in the oral mucosa, which gradually developed on his lip, face, scalp, neck, foot, calf, abdomen and groin. The patient's symptoms gradually improved at 4 weeks after SHR-1210 discontinuation and were mostly relieved at 7 weeks after discontinuation...

We present the case of a 6-year-old girl who presented with alterations in the voiding stream. On physical examination, a very small urethral meatus was identified at the expense of a membrane. The renovesical ultrasound showed no alterations. An uroflowmetric study was performed, showing a bladder outlet obstruction pattern. The urethral meatus was calibrated and a ventral meatotomy was performed. The histological study of the resected membrane showed a transitional urethral mucosa with chronic focal inflammation and discrete hyperplasia...

To date, only 1 example of cystadenofibroma of the epididymis has been reported in the English literature. Here, we present a second cystadenofibroma originating from the epididymis of a 54-year-old man who presented with painful swelling in the scrotum. The scrotal mass measured 6.3 cm and contained a clear yellow, serous to gelatinous fluid-filled cyst with internal papillae. Microscopically, the mass contained both stromal and epithelial components. The stromal component consisted of spindle cells arranged in small intervening fascicles, forming simple cyst and papillae...

A female patient with a history of ductal carcinoma in situ in the left breast, status-post bilateral mastectomy with deep inferior epigastric perforator artery flap reconstructive surgery, presented with a right breast asymmetry concerning for fat necrosis. Histological analysis revealed the presence of benign glands and associated stroma within fibroadipose tissue, confirmed as endometriosis by immunohistochemical analysis. Further investigation revealed that the patient had a previous diagnosis of endometriosis associated with a cesarean section scar that likely seeded the ectopic endometrial glands into a tertiary site by utilizing abdominal tissue that may have harbored endometriosis...

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm known to occur at various soft tissue and visceral locations. Kidney is a rarely reported site for these tumors. Most of the SFTs described in the kidney exhibit a classical CD34-positive patternless spindle cell histology. Focal round cell morphology is seldom reported. Herein, we describe a 48-year-old male patient with renal SFT. This tumor had pure round cell morphology with a CD34-/STAT6+ immunophenotype. Fluorescent in situ hybridization and a multiplexed sequencing assay performed on an Illumina® HiSeq 4000 platform revealed NAB2 and STAT6 gene rearrangement...

Current treatments for gastric cancer (GC) are suboptimal. Potential therapeutic targets for GC were screened using next-generation sequencing. We examined many mutation genes linked to GC, including TP53 (60%), PIK3CA (19%), LRP1B (13%), and ERBB2 (12%), ARID1A (9%), KMT2C (9%), and KRAS (7%). The KMT2C , KRAS , CDK6, and ARID1A wild-type genes were dominant in diffuse-type GC ( P  < .05), but mutations did not influence prognosis. Patients with APC (6%) and CDH1 (8%) wild-type GC presented with vascular invasion ( P  < ...

The use of social media in pathology has broadly had a positive impact on pathology education and outreach with the frequent posting of high-quality educational material of potential value to trainees, practicing pathologists, and other clinical and laboratory specialists. These posts are also of potential utility and interest to members of the public, who are now more than ever able to gain a window into the field and the role of pathologists in their medical care. There can be a lighthearted aspect to teaching material with the use of food items/analogies, emojis, or other descriptors, which may cross over into the classroom...

INTRODUCTION: Histiocytoid lobular breast carcinoma is a rare subtype of invasive lobular carcinoma characterized by relatively bland, uniform nuclei, single small eosinophilic nucleolus, and ample granular cytoplasm. These cancers are typically triple negative, show frequent androgen receptor (AR) positivity, and are therefore theorized to represent a variant of apocrine differentiation in invasive lobular carcinoma. Anecdotal evidence suggests that these tumors have excellent outcomes, though some studies suggest a variable clinical outcome...

Cutaneous-type adnexal tumors involving the breast are rare and create a diagnostic dilemma as they are often indistinguishable from primary mammary neoplasms. Tumors showing hair follicular differentiation are particularly challenging due to their rarity and the subtle appreciation of the intricate microanatomy of the hair follicle. We report a triple negative cutaneous-type adnexal carcinoma with follicular differentiation involving the breast to bring attention to the existence of these specialized group of tumors which should be managed differently from conventional triple negative carcinomas of the breast...
