Cutaneous Deciduosis: A Rare Cutaneous Lesion Mimicking Malignancy.

Cutaneous deciduosis is an extremely rare condition that clinically presents as a nodular lesion in the skin as a scar or neoplasm. Histologically, this may pose a diagnostic challenge simulating malignant epithelioid neoplasms including sarcoma. Histologically, a nodular growth pattern of large monomorphic epithelioid cells is observed.

Mixed Epithelial and Stromal Tumor: A Rare Renal Neoplasm-Case Report with Clinicopathologic Features and Review of the Literature.

Mixed epithelial and stromal tumor (MEST) is a rare benign renal neoplasm composed of epithelial and stromal components. Here, we report a 61-year-old woman presenting with a left complex cystic renal mass. The lesion was found incidentally on ultrasound for abdominal discomfort.

Validation of a natural language processing algorithm to identify adenomas and measure adenoma detection rates across a health system: a population-level study.

Background And Aims: Measuring adenoma detection rates (ADRs) at the population level is challenging because pathology reports are often reported in an unstructured format; further, there is significant variation in reporting methods across institutions. Natural language processing (NLP) can be used to extract relevant information from text-based records. We aimed to develop and validate an NLP algorithm to identify colorectal adenomas that could be used to report ADR at the population level in Ontario, Canada.

A prospective multi-faceted interventional study of blood bank technologist screening of red blood cell transfusion orders: The START study.

Background: Transfusion of red blood cells (RBC) is a common procedure, which when prescribed inappropriately can result in adverse patient outcomes. This study sought to determine the impact of a multi-faceted intervention on unnecessary RBC transfusions at hospitals with a baseline appropriateness below 90%.

Study Design And Methods: A prospective medical chart audit of RBC transfusions was conducted across 15 hospitals.

A Challenging Case of Mammary Analogue Secretory Carcinoma: Case Study with Ultrastructural and Cytogenetic Correlation.

Mammary analogue secretory carcinoma (MASC) is a rare salivary gland tumor analogous to secretory carcinoma of the breast. The diagnosis of MASC can be challenging due to substantial morphologic and immunohistochemical similarities with other salivary gland tumors. The differential diagnosis of MASC is broad and includes intraductal carcinoma, acinic cell carcinoma, and adenocarcinoma, not otherwise specified.
