A 70-year-old man presented with the growth of an anterior mediastinal nodule on a follow-up computed tomography (CT) scan after undergoing lung cancer surgery. Positron emission tomography (PET)-CT performed at the time of lung cancer surgery did not recognize any accumulation, but PET-CT performed this time confirmed the accumulation of standardized uptake value( SUV) max 5.57.

The histopathological diagnosis of T-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma, NOS (T-ALL), is based on morphology and positivity for CD3 and TdT. Early T-precursor lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (ETP-ALL) and mixed-phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), T/M, and/or B rarely occur and are usually diagnosed using flow cytometry. Using only formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue raises the risk of misdiagnosis due to underestimation.

Introduction: Adamantinoma-like Ewing sarcoma (ALES) is a rare aggressive malignancy occasionally diagnosed in the thyroid gland. ALES shows basaloid cytomorphology, expresses keratins, p63, p40, frequently CD99, and harbours the t(11;22) EWSR1::FLI1 translocation. There is debate on whether ALES resembles more sarcoma or carcinoma.

Thymic carcinoma is an aggressive malignancy that can be challenging to distinguish from thymoma using histomorphology. We assessed two emerging markers for these entities, EZH2 and POU2F3, and compared them with conventional immunostains. Whole slide sections of 37 thymic carcinomas, 23 type A thymomas, 13 type B3 thymomas, and 8 micronodular thymomas with lymphoid stroma (MNTLS) were immunostained for EZH2, POU2F3, CD117, CD5, TdT, BAP1, and MTAP.
