Virchow's law of thrombosis states that thrombosis in a vessel occurs as a combination of the following: (i) injury to the vessel wall, (ii) stasis of blood flow, and (iii) blood hypercoagulability. Injury to the wall includes infection/inflammation and/or injury to the resident cells of the wall. We postulate that in COVID-19, the SARS-CoV-2 virus directly infects the alveolar type II cell or directly or indirectly infects/injures the pericyte, promoting inflammation and interaction with endothelial cells, thereby causing a cascade of events leading to our observation that thrombosis occurred within the walls of the pulmonary vessels and not in the lumen of the vascular circulation.

Next-generation sequencing in the molecular classification of endometrial carcinomas: Experience with 270 cases suggesting a potentially more aggressive clinical behavior of multiple classifier endometrial carcinomas.
Virchows Arch
December 2024
Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Faculty of Medicine in Plzen, University Hospital Plzen, Charles University, Plzen, Czech Republic.
Molecular classification of endometrial carcinomas (EC) divides these neoplasms into four distinct subgroups based on their molecular background. Given its clinical significance, genetic examination is becoming integral to the diagnostic process. This study aims to share our experience with the molecular classification of EC using immunohistochemistry (IHC) and next-generation sequencing (NGS).

Article Synopsis
- - Tenosynovitis with psammomatous calcifications (TPC) is a rare, non-cancerous condition that often affects women and is thought to result from repetitive use or trauma, commonly appearing at sites like the hands, feet, and wrists.
- - In a study involving 18 new cases, most patients presented with painful masses, and imaging often showed benign characteristics, but many of these cases were misdiagnosed as more serious conditions like gout or tumors.
- - Follow-up on patients (mostly for around 30 months) showed no local recurrences after surgical removal, highlighting the necessity for greater awareness among medical professionals regarding TPC.
Uterine sarcoma with KAT6B/A::KANSL1 fusion: a molecular and clinicopathological study on 9 cases.
Virchows Arch
December 2024
Department of Pathology, First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University and General University Hospital in Prague, Studničkova 2, Prague 2, 12800, Czech Republic.
Article Synopsis
- - Uterine sarcomas with KAT6B/A::KANSL1 fusion are a new type of tumor that show a mix of traits from low-grade endometrial stromal sarcomas and smooth muscle tumors, which can confuse initial diagnoses.
- - A study involving 9 such cases found common features like expression of smooth muscle and endometrial stromal markers, as well as the presence of the KAT6B/A::KANSL1 fusion in all tumors.
- - Despite their bland appearance, these tumors can be aggressive, with some patients experiencing severe outcomes, underscoring the need for accurate recognition and diagnosis for better treatment approaches.
A molecular and immunohistochemical study of 37 cases of ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor.
Virchows Arch
November 2024
Department of Pathology, First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University and General University Hospital in Prague, Prague, Czech Republic.
Article Synopsis
- This study analyzes 37 ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors (SLCT) with a focus on their morphology, immunohistochemistry, and molecular features, categorizing them into well, moderately, and poorly differentiated tumors.
- High levels of sex cord markers were found, along with variable expression of other markers, and notable mutations like DICER1 (54.5%) and FOXL2 (6%) were identified, suggesting important diagnostic and predictive implications.
- Differences in mRNA expression profiles between DICER1 and non-DICER1 tumors highlight the distinct molecular characteristics of SLCTs, indicating that well-differentiated tumors could represent a unique subtype apart from the others.
A study of the cerebral venous drainage patterns in craniosynostosis: nonsyndromic cases and the induction effect of Virchow's law on venous sinuses.

Objective: Surgical intervention is commonly necessary for craniosynostosis. One of the preoperative concerns revolves around the cerebral venous drainage pattern and its potential involvement during surgery. Although there have been reports regarding venous drainage patterns in syndromic craniosynostosis, studies of nonsyndromic cases have been rare.
