Article Abstract
Among 345 lesions histologically defined as cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) examined by in situ hybridization (ISH) for the presence of DNA from human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6/11, 16, 18, 31, 33, and 51, a group of 69 lesions (41 low grade and 28 high grade) containing HPV 16 or 18 was further characterized with the following criteria: DNA ploidy and morphological patterns of ISH spots, i.e., punctate or diffuse throughout the nuclei corresponding to integrated or episomal state of HPV DNA, respectively. The highest percentage of aneuploid lesions, the highest diploid index values, and the highest proportion of CIN with punctate ISH signals were associated with high-grade lesions. In addition, punctate ISH signals were also most frequently found in aneuploid CIN. These results underline that punctate ISH signals considered as integrated HPV DNA were preferentially associated with aneuploid and high-grade lesions, and lead to suggest that this later criteria could be used to predict the evolution of a lesion towards malignancy.

Objective: To delineate a small supernumerary marker chromosome (sSMC) derived from chromosome 9 with combined cytogenetic and molecular methods.
Methods: For a pregnant woman with fetal ultrasound revealing left ventricular punctate hyperechoic echo, and a high risk for monosomy or partial deletion of chromosome 8, chromosome 9 trisomy, monosomy or partial deletion of chromosome 11 by non-invasive prenatal testing, and an abnormal MOM value revealed by mid-term serum screening, amniocentesis was performed for G banded chromosomal analysis and single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP-array) assay. Peripheral blood samples of the woman and her spouse were also collected for the above tests.
Human Papillomavirus-Associated Combined Neuroendocrine and Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Sinonasal Tract.

Combined neuroendocrine and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the sinonasal tract is rare entity but is increasingly gaining recognition within the head and neck pathology community. In a recent series, a single case was reported to demonstrate diffuse p16 positivity despite lacking high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) by RNA in-situ hybridisation (ISH). Here we describe a case of p16 positive combined neuroendocrine and SCC containing high-risk HPV.

Four immunohistochemistry (IHC) diagnostic assays have been approved for tumour PD-L1 protein assessment in the clinic. However, mRNA detection by in situ hybridisation (ISH) could be utilised as an alternative to protein detection. Detecting spatial changes in gene expression provides vital prognostic and diagnostic information, particularly in immune oncology where the phenotype, cellular infiltration and immune activity status may be associated with patient survival.

Background And Aims: The causative role of high risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) in breast cancer development is controversial, though a number of reports have identified HR-HPV DNA in breast cancer specimens. Nevertheless, most studies to date have focused primarily on viral DNA rather than the viral transcription. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of HR-HPV in breast cancer tissues at HPV DNA level and HPV oncogenes mRNA level by in situ hybridization (ISH).
