Intraductal Tubulopapillary Neoplasm of the Pancreas Presenting as a Localized Pancreatic Tumor in a 52-Year-Old Woman: Focusing on a Rare Pancreatic Malignancy and Contrasting to Intrapapillary Mucinous Neoplasm.

Intraductal tubulopapillary neoplasm (ITPN) is a distinctive type of pancreatic tumor first discovered more than three decades ago. ITPNs currently account for less than 1% of all pancreatic exocrine tumor cases recognized, and less than 5% of pancreatic intraductal tumors. A patient's presentation is often nonspecific in comparison to other intraductal pancreatic neoplasms.

Hepatitis Testing Performance of an Analyzer Integrated into Another Manufacturer's Automation System.

Background: The capacity to integrate platforms across vendors and disciplines has become an essential feature in the design of total laboratory automation (TLA) due space and test menu constraints. However, data on its performance are lacking. We aim to evaluate an integrated third-party immunoassay platform to the TLA system for the performance of hepatitis testing using turnaround time (TAT).
