Painting the path to precision: unraveling endocrine tumors with immunohistochemistry

While morphological assessment remains the primary cornerstone in tumor diagnostics, immunohistochemical (IHC) analyses hold immense value in surgical pathology. This is particularly true in endocrine pathology, which encompasses a multitude of tumors from various organs, often presenting with several morphological mimics. In many cases, IHC proves to be invaluable for practicing pathologists in reaching accurate diagnoses. Furthermore, IHC plays a pivotal role in prognosticating endocrine tumors, aiding pathologists in grading and assessing the risk associated with these lesions.
