Deep learning-based virtual H& E staining from label-free autofluorescence lifetime images.

Label-free autofluorescence lifetime is a unique feature of the inherent fluorescence signals emitted by natural fluorophores in biological samples. Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) can capture these signals enabling comprehensive analyses of biological samples. Despite the fundamental importance and wide application of FLIM in biomedical and clinical sciences, existing methods for analysing FLIM images often struggle to provide rapid and precise interpretations without reliable references, such as histology images, which are usually unavailable alongside FLIM images.

Malignant rhabdoid tumor of the orbit in an infant.

We present the case of an infant with rapidly progressing orbital tumor that had initial radiological and clinical features of both rhabdomyosarcoma and capillary hemangioma. The patient was eventually diagnosed with malignant rhabdoid tumor of the orbit. We discuss the salient histological and radiological features of our case and review the literature on orbital malignant rhabdoid tumors.

Disseminated Mucocutaneous Histoplasmosis Diagnosed in the United Kingdom, Presumably as a Result of Recrudescence Decades After Primary Infection Following Immunosuppressive Treatment of Its Mimic, Sarcoidosis: A Multidisciplinary Cautionary Tale.

Histoplasmosis is a dimorphic fungal infection, which is rare outside endemic pockets in North, Central, and South America, Asia, and Africa. Herein, we describe a woman in her 80s living in the Scottish Borders region of the United Kingdom with a recent diagnosis of granulomatous rosacea, who on receiving escalating immunosuppression for suspected sarcoidosis, and long-standing rheumatoid arthritis developed a striking eruption involving her eyelids along with painful ulceration of the oral and nasal mucosa. Histopathologic examination of the skin and mucosal lesions demonstrated granulomatous inflammation with numerous yeast forms of fungal organisms with morphological characteristics of Histoplasma species.

Multifocal Intraretinal Tumour Deposits following Treatment of an Ipsilateral Choroidal Melanoma.

Background/aims: The aim of this study was to report a patient who, following plaque brachytherapy for a choroidal melanoma, developed two separate retinal foci of malignant melanoma in the same eye, and suggest possible mechanisms that might explain such an occurrence.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective case report.

Results: A 79-year-old Caucasian male developed a left inferotemporal choroidal melanoma in 2016 and subsequently underwent ruthenium-106 plaque brachytherapy under the care of the Scottish Ocular Oncology Service.

Atypical fibroxanthoma with pseudoangiomatous features: a histological and immunohistochemical mimic of cutaneous angiosarcoma.

Atypical fibroxanthoma and pleomorphic dermal sarcoma may be difficult to separate from cutaneous angiosarcoma. We aim to study the morphological spectrum of pseudoangiomatous features in these tumors and the value of staining for endothelial markers CD31, CD34, FLI1, and ERG. Eleven atypical fibroxanthomas and 3 pleomorphic dermal sarcomas were identified.

Inflammatory complications related to tattooing: a histopathological approach based on pattern analysis.

: Although tattooing is an ancient practice, its increasing popularity and social acceptance, variability of tattoo ink composition, sporadic reports of novel tattoo reactions and advances in the field of tattoo removal techniques make it a topic of immense interest among dermatologists and pathologists alike. Since effective legislation governing the tattoo industry is largely lacking in most regions of the world, it is important to recognize the range of tattoo-related complications from a dermatopathological perspective. Using a pattern-based approach, this review details the broad spectrum of inflammatory reactions, which may be encountered in adverse reactions associated with tattooing.

Aberrant Melan-A expression in atypical fibroxanthoma and undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma of the skin.

Background: Atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) is a distinctive clinicopathologic entity presenting on sun-damaged skin of the elderly. Its behavior is benign if strict diagnostic criteria are applied. Tumors showing invasion of deeper structures or perineural/lymphovascular invasion are best regarded as undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma of the skin.
