Fibroepithelial lesions of the breast encompass various groups of tumours, including fibroadenoma and phyllodes tumour. Fibroadenoma can be clinically observed or complete excision with low recurrent rate, while phyllodes tumour needs wide local excision with negative margins. The diagnosis requires core biopsy assessment which is challenging especially between cellolar fibroadenoma and phyllodes tumour. ...

The discordant histologic grade and subtype of endometrial carcinoma (EC) between the diagnosis of endometrial biopsy and hysterectomy specimen has an impact on patient management. This study aimed to compare the diagnosis of endometrial biopsy with hysterectomy specimen and to determine the histologic factors leading to the discordant grade and subtype. A retrospective study was conducted in 187 cases ...

Pathological diagnosis of oral cancer through tissue biopsy is needed before treatment. However, cancer diagnosis is not achieved at first attempt and the repeat biopsy has to be taken. There are limited studies investigating tissue quality and quantity associated with successfol biopsy. ...

Lupus nephritis (LN) is one of a major complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Ten percent of patients with LN will develop end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) can be found involving bone marrow in approximately 11-27% of cases 1. Patterns of involvement are variable; these include diffuse pattern (lymphomatous cells diffusely infiltrating the marrow), interstitial pattern (i.e. small amount of lymphomatous cells scattered among hematopoietic cells), nodular pattern (lymphomatous cells forming aggregates in intertrabecular or paratrabecular area of the marrow).. ...

Focal liver lesions can be solitary or multiple, solid or cystic, congenital or acquired, and range from cysts, hamartomas, hyperplastic nodules and inflammatory entities to tumors and tumor-like lesions. The background liver may be normal or diseased. An algorithmic approach based on pattern recognition and cell profiling is outlined for the ...
