Immature Teratoma with Growing Teratoma Syndrome and Gliomatosis Peritonei Coexistence.

Ovarian germ cell tumours constitute 5% of all ovarian cancers. During the natural course and treatment of these tumours , there may be more unusual cases. One of them is gliomatosis peritonei, which is characterised by the spread of glial cells on the peritoneal surfaces, while the other one is growing teratoma syndrome characterised by the rapid growth of benign component and loss or shrinkage of the malignant component in response to systemic chemotherapy during the treatment of germ cell tumours.

Reproducibility of Morphologic Parameters of the International Endocervical Adenocarcinoma Criteria and Classification System and Correlation With Clinicopathologic Parameters: A Multi-Institutional Study.

Endocervical adenocarcinomas (ECAs) have been recently reclassified according to their morphologic features linked to etiology by the International Endocervical Adenocarcinoma Criteria and Classification (IECC) and this system is adopted by WHO 2020. This classification separates the ECAs as human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated (HPVA) and HPV-independent (HPVI) subtypes. According to WHO 2020, high risk (HR)-HPV association can be histologically recognized by the presence of luminal mitoses and apoptosis.

The importance of histological patterns on PD-L1 staining heterogeneity: Should we use pattern-based approach for selecting tumor samples for PD-L1 testing in lung adenocarcinomas?

Background/aim: Programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) is a predictive marker for immunotherapeutic agents. However, heterogeneous staining of PD-L1 can cause false-negative results. The aim of this study is to evaluate the importance of histological patterns on PD-L1 staining heterogeneity in lung adenocarcinomas (LAC).

Primary Retroperitoneal Müllerian Adenocarcinoma: Report of Two Cases Treated With Radical Surgery.

Background: Primary retroperitoneal Müllerian adenocarcinoma (PRMA) is a very rare type of primary retroperitoneal tumour. CASE 1: A 45-year-old woman presented with left lower extremity swelling and pain. Imaging revealed that the tumour had invaded the left common iliac vein and artery, internal and external iliac arteries, sciatic and obturator nerves, and pelvic wall.

Causes of pulmonary granulomas: a retrospective study of 500 cases from seven countries.

Background: The frequencies of various causes of pulmonary granulomas in pathological material are unknown, as is the influence of geographical location on aetiology. The aim of this study was to identify the causes of pulmonary granulomas in pathological specimens, to define their frequencies, and to determine whether these causes vary by geographical location.

Methods: 500 lung biopsies and resections containing granulomas were reviewed retrospectively by expert pulmonary pathologists from 10 institutions in seven countries.
