Colloid cysts are histologically well defined and consist of three main components, a capsule, with an underlying epithelial layer, and a mucinous heart. In our case, we present a 35-year-old female with acute deterioration of level of consciousness. An emergent CT scan showed a cystic lesion occluding the intraventricular foramen. The lesion was endoscopically excised through a transfrontal approach. Microscopic examination of the resected specimen revealed hyphal-like structures (HLS). This rare finding was first described by Dodds and Powers in 1977 and, in its microscopic nature, it mimics actinomyces of the third ventricle.

The diversification of effector function, driven by a co-evolutionary arms race, enables pathogens to establish compatible interactions with hosts. Structurally conserved plant pathogenesis-related PR-1 and PR-1-like (PR-1L) proteins are involved in plant defense and fungal virulence, respectively. It is unclear how fungal PR-1L counters plant defense.

Magnaporthe oryzae infects rice, wheat and other grass crops through appressoria. The formation of the appressorium is regulated by the external environment, signal transduction pathways, and transcription factors. Transcription factors Vrf1 and Hox7 are involved in the regulation of appressorium formation.

Chytrids are early-diverging fungi that share features with animals that have been lost in most other fungi. They hold promise as a system to study fungal and animal evolution, but we lack genetic tools for hypothesis testing. Here, we generated transgenic lines of the chytrid , and used fluorescence microscopy to explore chytrid cell biology and development during its life cycle.

Gamna-Gandy (GG) bodies are non-infectious, hyphal-like structures associated with siderotic nodules in lymphoid tissue; GG bodies are very rarely reported in veterinary cytologic samples. Cytologically, GG bodies can be misidentified as hyphae or plant material. Seven canine lymphoid tissue aspiration cases that contained GG bodies were investigated for morphologic variability and staining characteristics.
