Enfortumab Vedotin Drug Eruption: Cutaneous Adverse Events and Histopathologic Findings.

Enfortumab is a monoclonal antibody directed against nectin-4 and, when combined with vedotin, is an antibody-drug conjugate approved for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancers. A 75-year-old woman with stage IV papillary urothelial carcinoma of the bladder who completed cycle 2 of enfortumab vedotin (EV) infusions presented to our dermatology department for new-onset symmetric and painful dusky erythematous patches on the extremities and trunk without mucosal involvement. Two biopsies were obtained, which revealed an interface dermatitis with notable ring mitoses within the basal and suprabasal layers of the epidermis without epidermal necrosis.

Encephalocraniocutaneous Lipomatosis: A Case Report.

Encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis (ECCL) is a rare congenital syndrome and subclassification of oculoectodermal syndrome. Encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis may be associated with postzygotic mutations. However, absence of an identifiable mutation does not preclude a diagnosis of ECCL.

Molecular signature incorporating the immune microenvironment enhances thyroid cancer outcome prediction.

Genomic and transcriptomic analysis has furthered our understanding of many tumors. Yet, thyroid cancer management is largely guided by staging and histology, with few molecular prognostic and treatment biomarkers. Here, we utilize a large cohort of 251 patients with 312 samples from two tertiary medical centers and perform DNA/RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and multiplex immunofluorescence to identify biomarkers of aggressive thyroid malignancy.

Mechanic Hands/Hiker Feet in a Patient With Amyopathic Dermatomyositis and Interstitial Lung Disease.

A 30-year-old African American woman with a history of interstitial lung disease presented with bilaterally symmetrical, nonpruritic, scaling and fissuring, hyperpigmented, lichenified plaques on her hands and feet. She reported occasional erythema of her face, intermittent erythema, and irritation of her eyes but denied any muscle weakness. A biopsy of the plantar first toe showed hyperkeratosis, striking alternating ortho- and parakeratosis with underlying apoptotic bodies.

Civatte Bodies in Pediatric Esophageal Biopsies: Does Lichen Esophagitis Pattern Occur in Children?

Purpose And Context: Civatte bodies (CB) are associated with cutaneous and mucosal lichen planus in adults. They are a distinct feature of Lichen Esophagitis Pattern, which is not well described in children. We characterized clinicopathologic associations of archival esophageal CB at our Children's Hospital to determine whether lichen planus or Lichen Esophagitis Pattern occurs in children.

Sweet syndrome with osseous and splenic involvement: A case report.

Sweet syndrome is an uncommon inflammatory skin condition. Here we present a case of Sweet syndrome in a young woman with rare extracutaneous manifestations, including bone and splenic fluid collections, with marked improvement following treatment with systemic corticosteroids. The patient was subsequently diagnosed with Crohn's disease which can be seen in the setting of Sweet syndrome.

Low Grade Papillary Sinonasal (Schneiderian) Carcinoma: A Series of Five Cases of a Unique Malignant Neoplasm with Comparison to Inverted Papilloma and Conventional Nonkeratinizing Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

There have been a few case reports and one small series of low grade papillary sinonasal (Schneiderian) carcinomas (LGPSC) which mimic papillomas but have overtly invasive growth and which occasionally metastasize. We describe the morphologic, clinical, immunohistochemical, and molecular features of five patients with LGPSC compared with eight cases each of inverted papilloma (IP) and conventional nonkeratinizing squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) with papillary growth. All LGPSC were nested with predominantly pushing invasion, no stromal reaction, and frequent surface papillary growth.

Neuroendocrine carcinomas of the head and neck: A small case series.

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumors of the head and neck are rare and arise either from epithelial or neuronal origin. Debate continues over the classification systems and appropriate management of these pathologies.

Objective: By investigating a small set of cases of high grade epithelial-derived neuroendocrine tumors of the head and neck (neuroendocrine carcinomas or NEC) from one institution, we compare survival rates of NEC of the head and neck to pulmonary NEC.

Utility and Practicality of Multi-level Sectioning and Upfront Unstained Slide Cutting in Head and Neck Biopsies: A Critical Analysis.

Upfront interval sectioning (cutting unstained slides between H&E levels) is used at our institution for biopsies at all sites except the gastrointestinal tract. Very limited data exists in the literature for the need for interval sectioning, and we are aware of no data at all for the head and neck. Biopsies from the larynx, oral cavity, pharynx, and sinonasal tract at our institution have had 5 levels cut.

Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma of acral sites: Case report and literature review.

Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS) is a rare soft tissue sarcoma that usually presents as a deep-seated tumor in young adults; however, they can occur on superficial sites, mostly documented in pediatric age groups. LGFMS presenting on acral sites is not highly emphasized in the general pathology or dermatopathology literature. The case presented is that of a 30-year-old man with a foot mass that was removed 15 years earlier and subsequently recurred as two masses, the first occurring between the third and fourth toes/metatarsal region and the second over the lateral tarsal region.
