Rare Primary Fallopian Tube Grade 2 Neuroendocrine Tumor: A Case Report With Review of Literature.

Neuroendocrine neoplasms commonly arise from the gastrointestinal tract and lungs. Less commonly, they may occur in the gynecologic tract, typically within the ovary of a mature cystic teratoma. Primary neuroendocrine neoplasms of the fallopian tube are exceptionally rare and only a total of 11 cases have been reported in the literature.

"Growing fibroadenoma": Are there clinical and pathological features predicting a phyllodes tumor on surgical excision?

In cases of growth of FA on imaging, core needle biopsies (CNB) are often performed to rule out phyllodes tumor (PT). We aim to focus on "growing FAs" and to identify clinical and histopathologic features that are likely to predict a PT on excision. Thirty-four FAs with radiologic documentation of growth were included.

How Does Invasive Breast Cancer Oncotype Dx Recurrence Score on Core Needle Biopsies Influence Neoadjuvant Treatment Decision? A Descriptive Study.

Background: Oncotype Dx (ODx) is a genomic assay which estimates the risk of distant recurrence and predicts adjuvant chemotherapy benefit in early stage breast cancer patients. Most ODx data is derived from excisional specimens.

Aim: We assess the utility of ODx on core needle biopsies (CNB) and measure its impact on neoadjuvant treatment decisions, particularly in patients with clinically complicated situations.

Cholesteroloma of the breast: A 10 year retrospective review of 79 cases with radiology correlation.

A cholesteroloma or cholesterol granuloma of the breast is an uncommon lesion representing an inflammatory/reactive process with unclear etiology. In this study, we reviewed our 10-year experience with cholesteroloma of the breast with clinical, radiologic, and histopathological correlation. Seventy-nine cases were selected.

A 10 year retrospective review of fine needle aspiration cytology of cystic lesions of the breast with emphasis on papillary cystic lesions.

Background: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNA) is a simple, safe, cost effective, and accurate method for diagnosis of cystic lesions of the breast. Our study aims to correlate FNA cytology of cystic lesions of the breast with the histologic diagnosis.

Methods: During a period of 10 years (2007-2017), 314 cases of breast cystic lesions were retrieved from a total 1073 cases of breast FNAs.

Differentiating breast carcinoma with signet ring features from gastrointestinal signet ring carcinoma: assessment of immunohistochemical markers.

Signet ring morphology is recognized throughout the gastrointestinal tract. However, this pattern may be observed in other primary sites giving rise to diagnostic challenges in the work-up of metastases. Relatively newer immunohistochemical markers have not been evaluated in this context.
