Abstracts

Pathology informatics selected abstracts

September 2021—Chronic myelogenous leukemia is a clonal stem cell disorder driven by the BCR-ABL1 fusion oncogene and accounts for 15 percent of adult leukemias. Patients typically present with abnormalities in their complete blood cell counts with differential classification.

Molecular pathology selected abstracts

September 2021—More than a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, an essential question remains unanswered: Why do some people infected with SARS-CoV-2 develop severe life-threatening disease or die while others are asymptomatic or have only mild disease symptoms?

Anatomic pathology selected abstracts

August 2021—Pseudocarcinomatous squamous hyperplasia within the bone is uncommon and closely mimics well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. It arises from cutaneous or mucosal surfaces and grows directly into the bone. The authors conducted a study in which they analyzed a series of 31 pseudocarcinomatous squamous hyperplasia (PSH) cases and discussed the clinicopathologic features that distinguished PSH from squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

Clinical pathology selected abstracts

August 2021—The primary target organ of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is the lung. The virus invades endothelial cells through angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptors, which are found throughout the body. There are multiple markers of abnormal coagulation and hemostasis activation in patients with COVID-19 that signal a risk of thromboembolic complications.

Molecular pathology selected abstracts

August 2021—Auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder is a rare, progressive condition affecting a person’s ability to discriminate speech despite being able to respond to sound. The condition is often sporadic and diagnosed in patients with no family history of hearing loss, but it can be heritable.

Clinical pathology selected abstracts

July 2021—Pathologists play a key role in molecular and genomics testing, so pathologists-in-training should demonstrate an understanding of genetics concepts and the utility of molecular and genomic testing in patient care. A list of published competencies for training includes determining sample adequacy, ensuring that appropriate molecular tests are ordered, and effectively communicating genomic testing results through pathology reports and interdisciplinary teams.

Anatomic pathology selected abstracts

July 2021—Microscopic colitis is characterized by chronic watery diarrhea, endoscopically normal findings, and abnormal histology. The disorder is most prevalent in adults. Pediatric cases are rare and may vary in presentation.

Pathology informatics selected abstracts

July 2021—Despite growing awareness of whole slide imaging, few pathology laboratories have implemented and validated such a digital pathology system for primary diagnosis. Among the barriers to adopting whole slide imaging (WSI) for routine clinical work is the difficulty of justifying the expense, time and effort, and change management involved in deploying this disruptive technology.

Molecular pathology selected abstracts

July 2021—The accurate diagnosis of malignant pleural mesothelioma is important because of its association with asbestos inhalation and because it is an aggressive tumor with poor outcome despite multimodal treatment. Unfortunately, however, diagnosing malignant pleural mesothelioma is not straightforward. Initial diagnosis often occurs on small biopsies, and the disease has morphologic overlap not only with other neoplasms that affect the lungs and pleura, such as solitary fibrous tumor or synovial sarcoma, but also with reactive conditions, such as reactive mesothelial hyperplasia or sclerosing fibrous pleuritis. While immunohistochemical markers can provide ancillary information, many of them are nonspecific and can lead to diagnostic dilemmas. Sequencing of cancer genes can help in some situations but cannot provide a definitive diagnosis.

Clinical pathology selected abstracts

June 2021—Adverse events reported following administration of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 AstraZeneca vaccine were similar to those reported for the Johnson & Johnson/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine. The latter was paused in the United States in April due to concerns about thrombocytopenia, cerebral venous thrombosis, and a heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT)-like syndrome that was a rare occurrence post-vaccination in women under the age of 60.
