Intimal sarcoma of blood vessels is a rare, aggressive tumor originating from vascular endothelial cells. This report presents a 22-year-old male diagnosed with an intimal sarcoma of the lower pulmonary vein, detailing diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis information. Additionally, this report explores the application application of Endobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Fine-Needle Aspiration (EBUS-FNA) alongside with Rapid Remote Online Evaluation (ROLE) for identifying a mass-like lesion in the pulmonary vein.

In preparation for the second edition of TIS, editors generated a survey to solicit experience with and opinions about TIS.
Materials And Methods: An online survey available from March 8 to June 15, 2024, included 56 questions, offered in 7 languages, related to the practice of serous fluid cytopathology.
Article Synopsis
- Squamous cells in thyroid fine needle aspirations (FNAs) are rare and can indicate both malignant and benign conditions, with a study identifying 107 cases over 22 years.
- Out of these, 44.9% were found to be malignant, including types like anaplastic thyroid carcinoma and various metastatic squamous cell carcinomas, while others showed benign features related to developmental cysts or metaplastic changes.
- The findings underscore the importance of contextual clinical assessment and further analysis to ensure accurate diagnosis and optimal treatment for patients presenting with squamous cells in thyroid FNAs.
Interplay of atherosclerosis and medial degeneration in human ascending aorta.
Cardiovasc Pathol
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- Recent findings challenge the traditional view that atherosclerosis predominantly increases distal from the ascending aorta, revealing a higher prevalence of it in the ascending aorta itself.
- There is a noted lack of research on how atherosclerosis and medial degeneration coexist in the ascending aorta and their impact on clinical outcomes, despite earlier studies linking their presence to increased risks of heart and brain events.
- An analysis of 217 aortic specimens from patients with aortic issues demonstrated that atherosclerosis was present in 75.8% of samples, with no normal morphology observed, and while no significant correlation between atherosclerosis and medial degeneration was found, higher atherosclerotic grades correlated with adverse vascular changes.
The International System for Serous Fluid Cytopathology (TIS) is intended for reporting cytological specimens from serous cavities: pleural, abdominal and pericardial cavities. TIS is being adopted into practice in cytology laboratories worldwide. In this system, there are six diagnostic categories: non-diagnostic, negative for malignancy, atypia of undetermined significance, suspicious for malignancy, malignant-primary and malignant-secondary.
