Deep learning model shows pathologist-level detection of sentinel node metastasis of melanoma and intra-nodal nevi on whole slide images.

Introduction: Nodal metastasis (NM) in sentinel node biopsies (SNB) is crucial for melanoma staging. However, an intra-nodal nevus (INN) may often be misclassified as NM, leading to potential misdiagnosis and incorrect staging. There is high discordance among pathologists in assessing SNB positivity, which may lead to false staging.

Langerhans Cells, T Cells, and B Cells in Oral Lichen Planus and Oral Leukoplakia.

Although oral lichen planus (OLP) and oral leukoplakia (LPL) have different pathogenetic profiles, both may involve chronic inflammation. The aim of this observational study was to evaluate the inflammatory cell profiles of OLP and LPL. The inflammatory cell infiltrates in patients with OLP and LPL were analyzed for the presence of Langerhans cells (LCs; CD1a), T cells (CD3), and B cells (CD20), as well as for the proliferation marker Ki-67.
