LMNA::NTRK1 and PRDX1::NTRK1 Atypical Spitz Tumor: A Report of Two Additional Cases With Histological, Immunohistochemical, and Molecular Insights.

Over the past decade, advancements in molecular biology have contributed to changes in the diagnostic classification of Spitz neoplasms, including Spitz nevi, atypical Spitz tumors, and Spitz melanomas. The recent World Health Organization classification of skin tumors identifies fusion kinases, including NTRK1, NTRK2, and NTRK3, as critical drivers of these lesions. New fusion genes have continued to expand the spectrum of known molecular alterations, particularly within the category of Spitz NTRK-rearranged lesions.

Morphology, Glycan Pattern, Heat Shock Proteins, and Sex Steroid Receptors Expression in the Tubal Fimbria Epithelium of the Baboon during the Menstrual Cycle.

The oviductal fimbria is the first extraovarian anatomical structure that the cumulus-oocyte complex (COC) encounters, and is sensitive to sex hormone changes. The morphology, glycan pattern, expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs), estradiol receptor (ER), and progesterone receptor (PR) were investigated in the oviductal fimbria epithelium of the baboon () during the menstrual cycle. The morphology was investigated by light and scanning electron microscopy; the glycopattern was characterized using conventional and lectin histochemistry; HSPs (60, -70, -90), ER, and PR were localized immunohistochemically.

Tracking Endometrial Malacoplakia Through the Evolution of 2D and 3D Ultrasound and Histopathological Features.

Malacoplakia is an uncommon disease characterized by chronic and granulomatous inflammation, which rarely involves the female genital tract. We describe the ecographic and histological evolution of the first case of a patient developing endometrial malacoplakia as a complication after a cesarean section. The patient, a 43-year-old woman, presented with pelvic pain one month after delivering by cesarean section and the initial suspicion was of retention of placental rests.

Poorly Differentiated Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma (cSCC) or Lymphoepithelioma-like Carcinoma of the Skin (LELCS) with Squamous Pearls: A Case Presentation with Emphasis on Histomorphological Features and Classification Debates.

Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the skin (LELCS) is a rare primary skin cancer, with an annual incidence of 1/100,000 and about 85 cases published in the literature. It is considered the cutaneous counterpart of undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma (UNC, Schmincke-Regaud tumor) but has no association with EBV. We present an interesting case with features of LELCS in a 93-year-old man, right frontal-orbital region, diagnosed histologically and with immunohistochemical features.

SARS-CoV-2 Infection in the Second Trimester of Pregnancy: A Case Report of Fetal Intraventricular Hemorrhage After Critical COVID-19 Infection and a Brief Review of the Literature.

More than three and a half years have passed since the start of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), and there have been several studies in the literature about the different damage and symptom patterns related to the condition; particular attention has been paid to the transmission of the disease from pregnant mothers to fetus. In this report, we present the case of a 36-year-old patient with a history of two cesarean sections (CS), two miscarriages, and hypothyroidism on replacement therapy, who contracted COVID-19 during the 15th week of gestation. Ultrasound (US) examination at 22 weeks revealed regular fetal biometry and bilateral ventriculomegaly, highly suggestive of massive intracerebral hemorrhage.
