Implementing an integrated molecular classification for gastric cancer from endoscopic biopsies using on-slide tests.

The availability of more effective biological therapy can improve outcomes of gastric cancer (GC), but most patients do not have access to personalized treatment. GC molecular classification helps identify patients suitable for specific therapies and provides useful prognostic information. To date, only a small number of patients have access to molecular classification.

Cutaneous microcystic/reticular schwannoma: case report and literature review of an exceedingly rare entity with an unusual presentation.

Conventional schwannoma represents a benign peripheral nerve sheath tumor derived from Schwann cells, which usually arises in the fourth or fifth decade of life, in the subcutaneous tissue of the distal extremities, or in the head and neck region of adult patients, with no gender predilection. In addition to the classic type, at least 11 different histopathological subtypes have been described and unawareness of these uncommon histopathological entities may lead to diagnostic pitfalls and risk of mistreatment. Recently described in the scientific literature, microcystic/reticular schwannoma is still relatively unknown to both surgeons and pathologists.

Keratoacanthoma centrifugum marginatum: an unusual clinical and histopathological diagnostic pitfall.

Keratoacanthoma centrifugum marginatum (KCM) is a very rare variant of keratoacanthoma characterized by progressive peripheral growth accompanied by central healing. The tumor has the peculiar ability to involute spontaneously. A careful differential diagnostic with other skin carcinomas or hyperkeratotic lesions is required in order to ensure appropriate clinical management.
