We studied pathogenic gene mutations and tumor mutation burden (TMB) in visible low-grade dysplastic lesions in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The dysplastic lesions with histologically normal mucosa in the background (group 1) were compared with dysplastic lesions occurring either in a background of chronic active colitis (group 2) or associated with synchronous carcinomas regardless of the status of the background mucosa (group 3). The TMB in group 3 was consistently higher in comparison to the group 1 and group 2 lesions, although the difference was not statistically significant. There also seem to be different mutation profiles between the groups, indicating different pathways of tumor pathogenesis. More frequent APC mutations were seen in group 1 as compared to other groups and TP53 mutations were seen in groups 2 and 3, but none in group 1. Molecular characterization could potentially be used as an ancillary prognostic marker in challenging cases to guide the further management of IBD patients with visible dysplastic lesions.

Introduction: The United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommendation for cervical cancer screening includes the option to screen with high-risk human papilloma virus (hrHPV) alone, but some studies have reported that hrHPV testing alone missed precancerous and cancerous lesions. In this study, we evaluated the test performance characteristics of hrHPV in detecting cervical dysplasia with cervical cytology and biopsy as comparators.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of Papanicolaou smears between January and December 2019 performed at our institution with concurrent hrHPV and cytology testing.

Introduction: Segmental Odontomaxillary Dysplasia (SOD) is a non-hereditary, unilateral developmental anomaly recently included in the WHO's classification of head and neck tumors.
Case Presentation: Here, we report the case of an 8-year-old boy presenting with unilateral maxillary enlargement and pain without facial asymmetry. Computed tomography revealed a hypodense area in the maxillary bone with altered bone structure and osseous expansion.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) development is a gradual process in which progressive histological alterations of the intestinal mucosa damage occur over years. This process can be influenced by modifiable external factors such as lifestyle and diet. Most CRC cases (>80%) originate from conventional adenomas through the adenomatous pathway and usually harbour dysplastic cells, whereas the serrated pathway is less frequent (<20% cases) and comprises hyperplastic polyps and other polyps containing dysplastic cells.

Oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD) are a group of lesions carrying the risk of developing into cancer. The gold standard to predict which lesions are more likely to undergo malignant transformation is the presence of dysplasia histologically. However, not all dysplastic lesions progress, and non-dysplastic lesions may also undergo malignant transformation.

Background/objectives: Skin cancer is becoming increasingly common due to increasing risk factors such as excessive ultraviolet (UV) radiation, genetic predisposition, fair skin, and a history of sunburn. Melanoma accounts for only 1% of cases but causes most skin cancer deaths. Dysplastic nevi (DN) are important precursors of melanoma.
