Article Abstract

A 70-year-old man with prostate cancer and increased prostate-specific antigen level of 55 ng/mL underwent staging F-fluorocholine PET/CT, which demonstrated the primary prostate tumor and a focal area corresponding to a 2-cm hypodense nodule in the left thyroid lobe. Fine-needle aspiration and subsequent total thyroidectomy with central lymph node dissection showed an oxyphilic papillary thyroid carcinoma and a medullary microcarcinoma. Oxyphilic tumors represent a significant proportion of the few case reports of incidental focal thyroid fluorocholine thyroid uptake.

  • - Oncocytic renal neoplasms pose significant diagnostic challenges, yet are generally nonaggressive, prompting discussion about the necessity of differentiating emerging subtypes like eosinophilic solid and cystic renal cell carcinoma and others.
  • - A survey of 63 urologic pathologists revealed that many encounter complex oncocytic tumors frequently, with 70% agreeing that eosinophilic solid and cystic renal cell carcinoma should be recognized as a distinct category, while opinions were more divided on other types.
  • - Diagnostic approaches varied among pathologists, with 60% hesitant to diagnose oncocytoma through needle biopsies, and a near split on the routine use of immunohistochemistry; common genetic testing was

Background: Partial nephrectomy (PN) has become the dominant treatment modality for cT1 renal tumor lesions. Tumors suspected of malignant potential are indicated for surgery, but some are histologically classified as benign lesions after surgery. This study aims to analyze the number of benign findings after PN according to definitive histology and to evaluate whether there is an association between malignant tumor findings and individual factors.

Introduction: There are conflicting results on whether the presence of oncocytes modifies the risk of neoplasm (RON) or malignancy (ROM) for thyroid fine-needle aspirates (FNAs): Atypia of undetermined significance AUS and Follicular Neoplasm, FN, or Oncocytic Neoplasm, ON. To our knowledge, the effect of non-invasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP) has not yet been studied. We compared RON and ROM between follicular type AUS (AUS-FT) and oncocytic type AUS (AUS-OT) and between FN and ON.

TRPS1 Is Consistently Expressed in Hidradenoma Papilliferum.

Int J Gynecol Pathol

June 2024

Department of Pathology, Ghent University Hospital; Cancer Research Institute Ghent (CRIG), Ghent University.

TRPS1 is a novel immunohistochemical marker, so far quite specific and sensitive for breast cancer and especially useful for the diagnosis of triple-negative breast cancer. TRPS1 expression has recently been reported in normal skin appendages, as well as in a variety of benign and malignant cutaneous tumors, including adnexal tumors. However, it has not yet been reported in hidradenoma papilliferum (papillary hidradenoma), a benign adnexal neoplasm, accepted to originate from mammary-like glands in the vulvar or anogenital region of middle-aged women.
