During my long career as a practicing pathologist in a university hospital, I have only occasionally met patients sitting at the opposite side of the microscope at my desk. Those of you who have experienced similar situations know that the awkwardness starts when the patient enters the room.

Rewriting the dendritic cell code in cancer—from subset identity to immunotherapeutic design
Dendritic cells (DCs) play central roles in cancer immunity but are often subverted by the tumor microenvironment. This review explores the diversity of DC subsets, their functional plasticity, and emerging therapeutic strategies to reprogram DCs for enhanced antitumor responses, including vaccines, in vivo targeting, and DC‐based immunotherapies ...

Innocuous presentation of low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the palate
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is a malignant epithelial tumor and is the most common minor salivary gland neoplasm. The initial presentation of this pathology can resemble benign lesions and can be misleading.

Differential Diagnoses of Systemic Mastocytosis in Routinely Processed Bone Marrow Biopsy Specimens: A Review [PDF]
Diagnosis of systemic mastocytosis (SM) is mainly based on the morphological demonstration of compact mast cell infiltrates in various tissue sites. In almost all patients such infiltrates are detected in the bone marrow.

Cell‐free DNA aneuploidy score as a dynamic early response marker in prostate cancer
mFast‐SeqS‐based genome‐wide aneuploidy scores are concordant with aneuploidy scores obtained by whole genome sequencing from tumor tissue and can predict response to ARSI treatment at baseline and, at an early time point, to ARSI and taxanes. This assay can be easily performed at low cost and requires little input of cfDNA. Cell‐free circulating tumor

MET variants in the N‐lobe of the kinase domain, found in hereditary papillary renal cell carcinoma, require ligand stimulation to promote cell transformation, in contrast to other RTK variants. This suggests that HGF expression in the microenvironment is important for tumor growth in such patients. Their sensitivity to MET inhibitors opens the way for
