Aims: Several cases of focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) or similar hyperplastic lesions have been reported adjacent to hepatic neoplasms, including hepatocellular carcinoma, epithelioid haemangioendothelioma and hepatoblastoma. We refer to this hyperplastic response as peritumoral hyperplasia (PTH). Here, we report eight cases of PTH adjacent to primary hepatocellular carcinomas (two) and metastatic neuroendocrine tumours (three), gastrointestinal stromal tumour (one) and colon carcinomas (two).
Methods And Results: Sections were stained with H&E and trichrome, and for glutamine synthetase, CD34 and cytokeratin 7. PTH was composed of a peritumoral rim of hyperplastic hepatocytes up to 7.0 mm wide, delimited by adjacent hepatocellular atrophy. PTH had altered plate architecture, strong glutamine synthetase expression and variable sinusoidal endothelial cell CD34 expression. The central tumour deposit typically invaded portal veins and was markedly hypervascular with CD34-positive capillaries.
Conclusions: We suggest that PTH is a hyperplastic response to increased blood flow in the peritumoral parenchyma. The increased flow occurs when portal vein invasion by a hypervascular tumour causes arterio-portal shunting. While PTH shares some morphological features with FNH, it lacks the defining nodular architecture, central scar and bile ductules. PTH may be related pathophysiologically to FNH, but should be classified as a separate entity because of its distinct morphology and peritumoral location.

Background: The formation of lung metastasis as part of the progression of colon cancer is a poorly understood process. Theoretically, liver metastases could seed lung metastases.
Methods: To assess the contribution of the liver lymphatic vasculature to metastatic spread to the lungs, we generated murine liver-metastasis-derived organoids overexpressing vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-C.
Evidence of Programmed Death-Ligand 1 Expression in a Highly Inflammatory Prostate: A Literature Review and Our Experience.

Chronic inflammation (CI), a common finding in the human prostate, is associated with the most frequent socially important prostate diseases: prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and prostate adenocarcinoma. Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and its ligand (PD-L1) expression are induced on the surface of immune and epithelial cells of healthy and tumor tissues in response to various cytokines. Here, we provide a comprehensive review of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway in the non- and peri-tumoral inflammatory prostate, focusing on the structure and expression of PD-L1 and the diverse biological functions of PD-L1 signaling in health, high-grade CI (National Institutes of Health, category IV prostatitis or histologic prostatitis), and immune-related diseases, including autoimmunity, tumor microenvironmental immunity, and immune privilege.

The intricate origins, subsets, and characteristics of TCR (T Cell Receptor) s, along with the mechanisms underpinning the antitumor response of tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes within the tumor microenvironment (TME) remain enigmatic. Recently, the advent of single-cell RNA+TCR-sequencing (scRNA+TCR seq) has revolutionized TME analysis, providing unprecedented insight into the origins, cell subsets, TCR CDR3 compositions, and the expression patterns of response/depletion factors within individual tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes. Our analysis of the shared scRNA+TCR seq dataset revealed a substantial presence of dual TCR T cells, characterized by clonal hyperplasia and remarkable migratory prowess across various tissues, including blood, normal, peritumoral, and tumor tissues in non-small cell lung cancer patients.

Multiple neuroendocrine tumors (NET) of the pancreas often have a hereditary background. Sporadic and hereditary NET do not differ morphologically or with regard to their hormone expression. The most important clues for a hereditary background are provided by examination of the peritumoral pancreatic tissue, especially the morphology and hormone expression of the endocrine islets.
