The Usefulness of Elastin Staining to Detect Vascular Invasion in Cancer.

Tumor prognosis hinges on accurate cancer staging, a pivotal process influenced by the identification of lymphovascular invasion (LVI), i.e., blood vessel and lymphatic vessel invasion.

Brenner Tumor of the Ovary: A 10-Year Single Institution Experience and Comprehensive Review of the Literature.

Brenner tumors (BTs) are surface-epithelial stromal cell tumors that are categorized by the World Health Organization as benign, borderline, and malignant. Due to the rarity of BTs, the published literature on these tumors is comprised primarily of case reports and small retrospective studies. We performed a pathology database review spanning the last ten years at our institution revealing nine reported benign BTs.

Diffuse pulmonary ossification: A case report unveiling clinical and histopathological challenges.

Diffuse pulmonary ossification (DPO) is a rare pulmonary condition characterized by the diffuse formation of mature bone in the lungs. Pulmonary ossification, in general, can be subdivided into diffuse pulmonary ossification (DPO) and nodular pulmonary ossification (NPO). DPO occurs most commonly in the settings of chronic pulmonary conditions; however, idiopathic cases have been reported.

Drug Repurposing in Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma: Old Solutions for New Problems.

Lung cancer is the second most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in 2022. The majority (80%) of lung cancer cases belong to the non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) subtype. Despite the increased screening efforts, the median five-year survival of metastatic NSCLC remains low at approximately 3%.

Neonatal acute liver failure with pulmonary yellow hyaline membrane and kernicterus.

Background: Neonatal acute liver failure (NALF) is a rare and life-threatening condition. It causes bilirubin to accumulate to a dangerous level in the body, causing permanent damage to vital organs such as the brain and lungs. In many cases, the etiology of NALF remains unknown.
