We present a case of a mixed glial tumor (oligoastrocytoma) with signet-ring cells. This cellular feature is a rare differentiation in glial tumors of the central nervous system. Histological, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural findings have been analyzed. Signet-ring cells showed intense expression with GFAP, S-100 and vimentin. A differential diagnosis with other primary brain tumors and cerebral metástases with signet-ring cell differentiation was discussed.

Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA) is a condition characterized by intravascular fragmentation of red blood cells, leading to the characteristic finding of schistocytes on a peripheral blood smear. The differential diagnoses of MAHA include thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS), disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), infections, malignancies, and solid organ transplantation. The commonly associated malignancies with MAHA are gastric, breast, prostate, lung, and lymphoma.

Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMNs) and serrated polyps (SPs) of the appendix, both characterized by KRAS mutations and overlapping morphologic features.
Methods: We analyzed 27 cases of LAMN and 24 cases of SP from archival records, reviewed pathology, and performed molecular analysis on select cases. Four cases initially diagnosed as LAMN were excluded for not meeting diagnostic criteria, and 1 SP case was reclassified as LAMN.

Signet-ring cell carcinoma is a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma with a high degree of malignancy, which rarely occurs in hilar bile duct. As far as I know, this is the third signet-ring cell carcinoma of hilar cholangiocarcinoma found so far. We used endoscopic ultrasound（EUS） and per-oral cholangioscopy（POCPS） to make a definite diagnosis.

Unlabelled: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is the technique of choice in the management of early gastric cancer. Recently, it is also considered as an absolute indication in selected cases of early undifferentiated gastric cancer (U-EGC).
Objectives: In the present study, the first documented cases of ESD in patients with U-EGC are presented and analyzed.
