Chronic obstructive bronchiolitis with organizing lung disease is an anatomoradioclinical entity characterized by nonspecific inflammation associated with recurrent migratory minimally dense alveolar opacities on the chest x-ray poorly responsive to corticosteroid therapy. Excepting this typical presentation, other clinical forms may occur. We report the cases of two patients with an exceptional localized presentation raising the differential diagnosis of lung cancer.

Case report: IgG4-related mass-forming thyroiditis accompanied by regional lymphadenopathy.
Diagn Pathol
January 2018
Division of Diagnostic Pathology/Surgical Pathology, University of Fukui Hospital, Eiheiji, Japan.
Background: It has been recently accepted that IgG4-related thyroiditis is comparable to the Hashimoto and Riedel thyroiditis and Graves disease which are rich in IgG4-secreting plasma cells. Many physicians believe that in IgG4-related thyroiditis, the thyroid is entirely enlarged and diffusely affected, which is similar to conventional thyroiditis, but rarely ever accompanied by pseudoneoplastic mass formation as in IgG4-related disease in the other organs. This report introduces another pattern of IgG4-related thyroiditis as mass-forming thyroiditis and presents the occurrence of IgG4-related regional lymphadenopathy as an unusual accompanying symptom.

We describe a case of 39-year-old Bulgarian woman living in the Czech Republic, who died because of rupture of anterior communicating artery aneurysm, and severe bronchopneumonia. An incidental finding at the autopsy was a whitish unencapsulated and not sharply demarcated tumor of the left ventricle and adjacent area of interventricular septum, which protruded above the plane of section.

Introduction: The incidence of atypical mycobacterial infection in Europe is estimated at one case per 100,000 persons/year. Despite the low incidence of Mycobacterium avium infection, it can result in a nodular lesion simulating lung cancer. We report a case of atypical mycobacteriosis, mimicking lung cancer, which led to a lobectomy.

The placenta is one of the most common gross pathology specimens encountered by surgical pathologists, yet primary tumors are exceptionally rare and even rarer are entities with the potential to mimic malignancy. There are many nonneoplasticmass forming lesions in the placenta that are important to be aware of as many of these can be associated with adverse outcomes in the mother and fetus. Also important are entities which may be observed microscopically in the placenta and potentially confused as a malignancy.

Microglandular proliferations often pose a diagnostic challenge in small endocervical and endometrial biopsies. Microglandular hyperplasia (MGH) is one of the most common pseudoneoplastic glandular proliferations of uterine cervix, which can closely mimic endometrial adenocarcinomas (EAC) with a microglandular pattern (microglandular EAC). Although MGH is typically characterized by relatively uniform nuclei and rare to absent mitoses, atypical forms with architectural and/or cytologic deviation from the usual morphology have been previously described.
