Fluid Overload-Associated Large B-Cell Lymphoma Presenting as Isolated Pleural Effusion. (PubMed, Hematol Rep)
Ultimately, the patient was diagnosed with fluid overload-associated large B-cell lymphoma and treated with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, vincristine sulfate, and prednisone, but passed away three months after diagnosis. It may be mistaken for other conditions such as primary effusion lymphoma or other diffuse large B-cell lymphomas. The presence of a Human Herpesvirus-8-negative effusion-based lymphoma in an elderly immunocompetent patient without nodal or tissue involvement should prompt consideration of fluid overload-associated large B-cell lymphoma.

Anaplastic Thyroid Carcinoma and High-Grade Tall Cell Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma: Case Report of a Rare Association. (PubMed, Reports (MDPI))
Multinucleated giant cells exhibited aberrant CD68 expression, without proliferative activity. This case illustrates the morphologic association between tall cell papillary thyroid carcinoma with high-grade features and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma, emphasizing diagnostic considerations within the framework of the WHO 5th edition classification.

Clinicopathologic Features of Genitourinary Malakoplakia and Analytical Utility of the MetaPath Assay. (PubMed, Infect Drug Resist)
MPL is frequently misdiagnosed as malignancy. MetaPath can reliably detect pathogens in archival tissue and guide targeted antimicrobial therapy, representing a valuable adjunct to conventional culture.

Conductive Thermoresponsive Drug Eluting Silk Suture to Promote Wound Healing and Avoid Surgical Site Infection. (PubMed, ACS Macro Lett)
In vivo studies confirmed CTS significantly modulated inflammatory response by reducing tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and CD68 levels at day 7, and accelerated tissue integration at days 14 and 28 by promoting angiogenesis (CD31) and collagen deposition. This sense-and-treat suture can track suture tension and wound status, demonstrating clinical potential for precise postoperative management in diverse surgical settings.

Therapeutic targets established in adult ulcerative colitis exhibit correlations with disease severity and pathological relevance in pediatric pouchitis. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
MAdCAM-1 and TNF-α expression was positively correlated with inflammatory cell infiltration. This exploratory study provided the first histological evidence that MAdCAM-1 and TNF-α could be upregulated in pediatric pouchitis and associated with disease severity, highlighting the pathological relevance of adult UC therapeutic targets in this setting.

Case Report: ALK-positive histiocytosis presenting as an adrenal mass: a diagnostic trap due to unusual morphology. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
The presence of anaplastic features poses a high risk of misdiagnosis as a sarcoma or carcinoma, potentially leading to overly aggressive therapy. Therefore, we advocate for the inclusion of this entity in the differential diagnosis of adrenal neoplasms and recommend routine ALK testing in similar challenging cases to guide precise management and avoid therapeutic errors.

Characterization of tumour microenvironment in thymic epithelial tumours of different histological subtypes. (PubMed, Discov Oncol)
This integrative analysis highlights evolutionary divergence and TME heterogeneity across TET subtypes and identifies immunometabolic biomarkers that may support prognostic assessment and future personalised treatment stratification in aggressive TETs.

Neoadjuvant PD-1 Inhibition prior to Partial Cryoablation of murine Hepatocellular Carcinoma modulates the Tumor Microenvironment towards favorable Immunological Profiles. (PubMed, J Vasc Interv Radiol)
In a mouse model of HCC, neoadjuvant PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibition can modulate the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment observed after cryoablation. This highlights the potential of a combination therapy to treat both early- and advanced-stage HCC.

The three-dimensional landscape of tumor-associated macrophages in reactive and neoplastic human lymph nodes. (PubMed, PLOS Digit Health)
These findings imply that the pathomic properties of TAMs mirror their functional aberrations. Through validation and generalization via molecular pathological examinations, this approach has the potential to unveil and understand functional aberrations in histopathological assessments.

Relationship Between Vascular Density and Microenvironment in Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma. (PubMed, Endocr Relat Cancer)
These results underscore the dynamic relationship between vascular architecture and immune infiltration in MTC, highlighting region-specific interactions that may influence tumor progression. The elevated D2-40+ density in metastatic cases and distinct immuno-vascular correlations suggest potential prognostic markers and therapeutic targets.

Atypical fibrous histiocytoma of the skull: a case report of temporal bone involvement and comprehensive literature review. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
Accurate diagnosis relies on careful histopathologic evaluation and exclusion of histologic mimickers using a comprehensive immunohistochemical panel. Complete surgical excision remains the cornerstone of treatment, and long-term follow-up is recommended due to the tumor's intermediate malignant potential.

Composition of Immune Cells in Sporadic Vestibular Schwannomas with Different Tumor Volumes. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
These results indicate that an increased diversity of immune-cell subtypes influences VS tumor size. Thus, novel diagnostic and therapeutic options could be developed by targeting the tumor-associated immune-cell populations in VSs.
