Toward realization of remote controlled telecytopathology-a validation study from a large academic medical center from the southeast United States.

Introduction: With increase in the number and types of biopsies requiring rapid on-site evaluation for adequacy, telecytopathology is one of the solutions.

Materials And Methods: Using a microscope camera with MS Surface Pro, a live telecytopathology audio video feed for the adequacy of 55 study set validation cases was sent over Zoom from the satellite hospital over 10 miles away with cytopathologists at the main hospital. The study set cases included Diff-Quik-stained smears and core imprints.

Anomalous origin of left coronary arteries from the pulmonary artery in an asymptomatic adult: An autopsy case report.

Rationale: Anomalous Origin of Left Coronary Arteries from the Pulmonary Artery (ALCAPA), also known as Bland-White-Garland (BWG), is a rare form of coronary artery anomaly that is usually discovered in the first few months of life. Only rarely can patients with this anomaly reach adulthood without symptoms.

Patient Concerns: A 28-year-old female was witnessed suddenly collapse with a seizure-like episode by her colleagues at work.

Plasmablastic Lymphoma, a Rare Entity in Bone Marrow with Unusual Immunophenotype and Challenging Differential Diagnosis.

Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is an aggressive malignancy that usually occurs in the setting of immunosuppression. The immunohistochemical profile of PBL is that of terminally differentiated B lymphocytes. CD138, CD38, and MUM1 are usually immunopositive.

Nicotinamide Phosphoribosyl Transferase Is Increased in Osteosarcomas and Chondrosarcomas Compared to Benign Bone and Cartilage.

Background/aim: Primary bone neoplasms include osteosarcomas (OS), chondrosarcomas (CS), and giant cell tumors (GCT). Nicotinamide phosphoribosyl transferase (NAMPT) catalyzes the rate-limiting step of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide synthesis and is increased in multiple tumor types. In malignancies, NAMPT expression often correlates positively with tumor grade, chemotherapy resistance, and metastatic potential.
