Pulmonary leiomyosarcoma arising in pulmonary hamartoma: an exceptional occurrence in a rare tumor
Pathologica. 2023 Dec;115(6):325-332. doi: 10.32074/1591-951X-941.ABSTRACTA solitary peripheral lung nodule was found in the left lung of a 52-year-old man. It was located in the lower lobe and measured 18.5 cm of major axis on chest computed tomography. A tru-cut core biopsy was obtained and a proliferation of bland, monomorphic, spindle cells in interlacing fascicles was observed. Accordingly, a surgical resection of the neoplasm was subsequently carried out. Macroscopically, the tumor appeared as a well-circumscribed nodule with a firm and whitish cut surface. Histologically, the neoplasm was predominantly composed of b...

A rare case of extrarenal Wilms tumor of the uterine corpus: comprehensive genomic profile and review of the literature
We present the case of an adult woman who underwent total abdominal hysterectomy due to a uterine mass causing persistent abdominal pain. The characteristic triphasic morphology (composed of epithelial, stromal, and blastemal elements) supported by a broad immunohistochemical panel, along with the imaging exclusion of a renal neoplasm, was diagnostic of WT of the uterus. For the first time, a comprehensive genomic profiling of a uterine primary WT was also performed by next-generation sequencing, disclosing alterations at the level of copy number variations in the genes ERBB2, FGFR23, FGF6, FGFR2, and RPS6KB1. All previous...

Think "HER2" different: integrative diagnostic approaches for HER2-low breast cancer
Pathologica. 2023 Dec;115(6):292-301. doi: 10.32074/1591-951X-942.ABSTRACTThis work explores the complex field of HER2 testing in the HER2-low breast cancer era, with a focus on methodological aspects. We aim to propose clear positions to scientific societies, institutions, pathologists, and oncologists to guide and shape the appropriate diagnostic strategies for HER2-low breast cancer. The fundamental question at hand is whether the necessary tools to effectively translate our knowledge about HER2 into practical diagnostic schemes for the lower spectrum of expression are available. Our investigation is centered on the sig...

How to measure your microscope's HPF. A critical guide for residents
Pathologica. 2023 Dec;115(6):302-307. doi: 10.32074/1591-951X-900.ABSTRACTCounting stuff under the microscope is part of the duties of a surgical pathologist. Many textbooks and articles still report the surface area as the number of high-power fields (HPFs) counted. This is bad, since the area displayed by an HPF varies between two microscopes. It is therefore necessary to express the surface as mm2. This is a how to guide written for the resident who has to measure the HPF of the microscope for the first time. The Resident can either calibrate the microscope with a stage micrometer slide (a small ruler on a glass slide) ...
