Article Synopsis
- Left atrial myopathy is common in chronic coronary syndromes and can be triggered by stress, especially in patients with atrial fibrillation.
- A study involving 3042 patients assessed left atrial volume and function at rest and during stress, showing that left atrial volume index increased and LA strain decreased as patients progressed from sinus rhythm to permanent atrial fibrillation.
- The findings highlighted that both paroxysmal and permanent AF are linked to greater left atrial dilation and dysfunction, which correlates with more instances of stress-induced ischemia and pulmonary congestion.

Background: Pilomatrixoma (PMX) is a benign, quite uncommon, skin neoplasm, which is frequently misdiagnosed by clinicians.
Aim: We have analyzed 25 PMX to determine the agreement between clinical diagnosis, preoperative FNA characteristics, and corresponding histopathological specimens; moreover, reliable cytologic criteria for PMX and the differential diagnosis to avoid cytological pitfalls have been emphasized.
Materials And Methods: By fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology a series of consecutive cases of PMX collected during last 5 years were studied.
Osteoblastic meningiomas: clinico-pathological and immunohistochemical features of an uncommon variant.

Osteoblastic meningioma is a rare variant of meningioma characterized by the presence of a variable number of bone spicules within the tumor parenchyma. Its histogenesis has not been yet fully clarified. Herein we report clinical and histological findings and expression of bone matrix proteins (osteocalcin and ostepontin) observed in seven osteoblastic meningiomas.
