Leukaemic Effusion or Extramedullary Haematopoiesis?

Journal Article Cytopathology · October 15, 2025 We describe a case of leukaemic pleural effusion in a patient with acute myeloid leukaemia and marked marrow fibrosis. Cytologic evaluation of the pleural fluid revealed numerous large atypical cells, morphologically consistent with dysplastic megakaryocyt ... Full text Open Access Link to item Cite

Distinct B/myeloid and T-lymphoblast populations at separate anatomic sites in mixed-phenotype acute leukemia with BCR::ABL1 fusion.

Journal Article J Hematop · September 22, 2025 The pluripotency of malignant blasts in acute leukemias is a growing area of scientific and clinical interest. Mixed-phenotype acute leukemias (MPALs) are defined by the presence of blasts showing evidence of differentiation along at least two lineages. Cu ... Full text Open Access Link to item Cite

Lymphoproliferative Disorders Mimicking Rheumatologic Disease: A Clinical Reasoning Perspective.

Journal Article Curr Allergy Asthma Rep · September 16, 2025 PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Lymphoproliferative disorders encompass a variety of hematologic diseases that are increasingly recognized. Patients with these conditions may present to rheumatologists or other specialists prior to a hematologist-oncologist. This revie ... Full text Open Access Link to item Cite

Concomitant Waldenström Macroglobulinemia/Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma and Non-Immunoglobulin M Plasma Cell Neoplasm: A Report of 14 Cases With Laboratory Evidence of Biclonal B-Cell Neoplasms in Individual Patients.

Journal Article Arch Pathol Lab Med · September 1, 2025 CONTEXT.—: The co-occurrence of plasma cell neoplasm (PCN) and lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL) is rare, and their clonal relationship remains unclear. OBJECTIVE.—: To evaluate the clinicopathologic characteristics of concomitant LPL/PCN. DESIGN.—: Retrosp ... Full text Open Access Link to item Cite

Neuronal-Glial and Immune Microenvironment Signatures Show Prognostic Effects in Primary CNS Lymphoma

Conference Blood · November 5, 2024 Introduction: Primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) of the central nervous system (CNS), traditionally referred to as primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL), is a rare type of primary large ... Full text Cite

Flow cytometry quantification of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes to predict the survival of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Journal Article Front Immunol · 2024 INTRODUCTION: Our previous studies have demonstrated that tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), including normal B cells, T cells, and natural killer (NK) cells, in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) have a significantly favorable impact on the clinica ...

Characterizing the role of the immune microenvironment in multiple myeloma progression at a single-cell level

Journal Article Blood Advances · November 22, 2022 Early alterations within the bone marrow microenvironment that contribute to the progression of multiple myeloma (MM) from its precursor stages could be the key to identifying novel therapeutic approaches. However, the intrinsic variability in cellular pop ... Full text Open Access Cite

Colonic graft-vs.-host disease in autologous versus allogeneic transplant patients: earlier onset, more apoptosis, and lack of regulatory T-cell attenuation.

Journal Article Mod Pathol · October 2018 Histologic characterization of graft-vs.-host disease in autologous stem cell transplant patients has been limited. The aims of this study were to characterize colonic graft-vs.-host disease in autologous stem cell transplant patients and compare to a cont ... Full text Open Access Link to item Cite

Secretory carcinoma of the parotid with adenoid cystic carcinoma cytological pattern: A cytological-pathological correlation with literature review.

Journal Article Ann Diagn Pathol · April 2018 Secretory carcinoma (SC) is a rare low-grade malignant tumor, defined by ETV6-NTRK3 fusion, identifiable by FISH. We describe a case in a 58-year-old male with a painless slowly growing 16mm palpable mass within left superficial parotid. FNA of the mass sh ... Full text Open Access Link to item Cite

Diagnostic phrasing is independently correlated with the decision to treat for graft-versus-host disease: retrospective review of colon biopsies with rare apoptosis.

Journal Article Histopathology · November 2016 AIMS: The risks of immunosuppression and the non-specific nature of rare crypt apoptosis has led to debate over the lower threshold for histological diagnosis of colonic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). A recent study proposed the diagnostic category of i ... Full text Open Access Link to item Cite

Role of immunohistochemistry in the diagnosis of sebaceous carcinoma: a clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical study.

Journal Article Am J Dermatopathol · November 2015 Sebaceous carcinoma (SC) is a relatively uncommon malignant epithelial neoplasm with a predilection for the periocular region. The diagnosis of SC can be difficult to make at initial presentation, as it can clinically and histopathologically resemble other ... Full text Open Access Link to item Cite
