Rationale: The benefits of COVID-19 mRNA vaccination are claimed to be substantial; however, vaccination-related myocarditis and pericarditis have also been observed globally, particularly among young men. In most cases, the symptoms are mild and resolve on their own; however, fatal cases have rarely been described.

Patient Concerns: A healthy 40-year-old Japanese man suddenly experienced tachycardia and lost consciousness 2 days after vaccination.

Although gastric juvenile polyposis (GJP) often coexists with gastric cancer, a preoperative accurate diagnosis is still difficult to obtain. A 70-year-old woman was referred for epigastralgia and anemia. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy with a conventional endoscope showed numerous gastric polyps with no cancerous findings.

Adenocarcinomas with enteroblastic differentiation are rare clear cell tumors that are positive for enteroblastic markers. Enteroblastic differentiation is particularly uncommon in colorectal adenocarcinomas. Herein, we report a case of clear cell adenocarcinoma with enteroblastic differentiation in the sigmoid colon of a 38-year-old Japanese woman that metastasized to the lower left ureter.

Esophageal basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (EBSCC) is a poorly differentiated variant of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). We aimed to investigate the clinicopathological and molecular biological characteristics of EBSCC and enrolled 58 patients with EBSCCs. Clinicopathological factors including age, sex, tumor size and location, gross tumor type (superficial, protrusive, ulcerative, and unclassifiable), lymphovascular invasion, infiltrative growth, intramural invasion, TNM stage, and dominant histological type were examined.

Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted to evaluate how well pathologists agree on diagnosing type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) using tissue samples from endoscopic biopsies, specifically how they distinguish it from pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).
  • After providing guidelines, the agreement among pathologists improved significantly, with median sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing PDAC at 95.2% and 100%, respectively.
  • Although most pathologists could identify type 1 AIP in over 60% of the cases, there were still inconsistencies and ambiguities, particularly with certain histological features like ductal lesions, which compromised the overall diagnosis accuracy.
