Warthin-like subtype of papillary thyroid carcinoma (WLPTC) is a rare subtype of papillary thyroid carcinoma. This PTC subtype shows some pattern resemblance to Warthin tumors of the salivary gland, which confers its name but is a not genetically similar to salivary Warthin tumor, with the most frequent genetic change in WLPTC being BRAF p.V600E, the most frequent genetic driver of PTC.

Nodular syphilis with a granulomatous inflammatory histopathologic pattern is an uncommon cutaneous presentation of secondary syphilis which could pose a diagnostic challenge for clinicians and pathologists alike. A 33-year-old male diagnosed with HIV presented with a 5-week history of asymptomatic generalized erythematous papules and nodules with overlying scales, with involvement of the palms and soles. Histopathologic examination of a nodule from the forearm revealed non-caseating granulomas in a background of a mixed cell inflammatory infiltrate composed of lymphocytes, epithelioid and foamy histiocytes, plasma cells, neutrophils, and multinucleated giant cells.

Keratocystoma is a rare salivary gland lesion that has been reported primarily in children and young adults. Because of a scarcity of reported cases, very little is known about it, including its molecular underpinnings, biological potential, and histologic spectrum. Purported to be a benign neoplasm, keratocystoma bears a striking histologic resemblance to benign lesions like metaplastic Warthin tumor on one end of the spectrum and squamous cell carcinoma on the other end.

Pleomorphic adenoma with extensive oncocytic papillary cystic areas and trichilemmal keratinisation - A unique presentation.

J Oral Maxillofac Pathol

September 2023

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology and Oral Microbiology, Narayana Dental College and Hospital, Chinthareddypalem, Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, India.

Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is a commonly occurring benign salivary gland tumour known for its surfeit of histo-morphologic appearances ranging from myxochondroid, plasmacytoid, and squamoid elements to the infrequently seen osseous and adipose tissue metaplasia. Oncocytic metaplastic changes, a rare finding, present in the form of sheets/islands/cords of polygonal cells with rich eosinophilic or occasionally clear cytoplasm and an oval/round nucleus. We report one such rare case which portrayed extensive oncocytic changes in a unique bilayered/multi-layered epithelium, lining the papillary cystic areas similar to that of Warthin's tumour and extensive keratinisation simulating the newly recognised entity "adnexa-like differentiation/trichilemmal keratinisation", along with foci of cholesterol clefts and multi-nucleated giant cells.

Top Ten Oncocytic Head and Neck Lesions to Contemplate.

Head Neck Pathol

March 2023

Department of Pathology, Duke University, Durham, NC, USA.

Background: Oncocytes are a component of many metaplastic and neoplastic lesions throughout the head and neck area, primarily originating in salivary/seromucinous glands and the thyroid gland. In addition, other lesions can contain cells that mimic oncocytes (pseudo-oncocytes); these can be of epithelial or non-epithelial origin.

Methods: Review article.
