Sickle cell disease has a wide range of hepatic manifestations, with acute intrahepatic cholestasis being one of the rarest and most fatal, often resulting in acute fulminant hepatic failure. Liver transplantation is an emerging but rarely utilized treatment for hepatic failure in the setting of sickle cell disease. Few such cases have been reported in the literature, with little emphasis on histopathologic correlation.

- The study aimed to compare cervical lesions classified as CIN-3 based on two testing scenarios: positive cytology with negative HPV and vice versa, investigating discrepancies in results.
- A total of 15,173 women were analyzed, revealing that cytology was positive in 19.4% and HPV in 14.5%, with 84 CIN-3 cases identified across various test results.
- Findings indicated no significant differences between the types of positive CIN-3 cases; errors in interpretation and sampling were noted, with some cases of CIN-3 being HPV-negative despite positive cytology.
Introduction: Standardization of error classification in pathology remains an important issue. This study assesses the extent of error in cytopathologic diagnosis of solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPN) of the pancreas. Because of morphologic overlap of SPN and pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (NET), we compared cytologic characteristics to determine which best distinguishes these entities.
