Abstracts

Anatomic pathology selected abstracts

June 2021—Two etiopathogenic types of vulvar squamous cell carcinoma have been described: human papillomavirus associated and HPV independent. HPV-associated vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC) develops from the precursor high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSILs).

Molecular pathology selected abstracts

June 2021—In myeloid malignancies, identification of genetic abnormalities informs diagnostic classification, aids risk stratification, and often predicts response to clinical therapy. Multiple methodologies generally are necessary to detect these abnormalities given the diversity of genetic occurrences, which can range from single-nucleotide variants to chromosomal translocations.

Clinical pathology selected abstracts

May 2021—Hepatitis C virus and HIV continue to be major causes of disease worldwide, and a delay in diagnosis is associated with an increase in mortality and a higher probability of viral transmission.

Anatomic pathology selected abstracts

May 2021—Secondary involvement of the uterine cervix by nongynecologic neoplasms is rare, accounting for less than two percent of metastases to the gynecologic tract. The authors conducted a study to analyze the clinicopathologic features of cervical involvement by nongynecologic malignancies.

Pathology informatics selected abstracts

May 2021—As whole slide imaging has matured, pathologists have been focusing on the use of artificial intelligence algorithms. At the same time, the need to develop computer-assisted diagnostic tools to evaluate prostate core needle biopsies has intensified with the dramatic increase in the number of prostate cancer cases.

Molecular pathology selected abstracts

May 2021—Autoinflammatory and rheumatologic disorders in adults often present with overlapping clinical features and are challenging to treat. A genotype-first approach has been helpful to guide proper clinical management in other analogous disease settings. The authors conducted a study in which they analyzed the exome/genome sequencing data of peripheral blood cells from two large cohorts: 1,477 people who had undiagnosed recurrent fevers or systemic inflammation, or both, and 1,083 people affected by atypical, unclassified disorders who were identified through the National Institutes of Health Undiagnosed Diseases Program. Recurrent novel missense mutations affecting the methionine-41 codon of the X-linked gene UBA1, which codes for a major E1 enzyme that initiates ubiquitylation, were identified in three men. These UBA1 mutations were confirmed as somatic because they were not found in the matched fibroblasts of the affected individuals and their family members.

Clinical pathology selected abstracts

April 2021—The incidence of cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease is disproportionately higher among African-Americans compared with non-Hispanic whites. It has been hypothesized that genetic variation is associated with these higher rates of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and coronary heart disease (CHD) among this race.

Anatomic pathology selected abstracts

April 2021—Intraductal biopsy is commonly used preoperatively to evaluate the etiology of biliary strictures. It can be challenging to interpret intraductal biopsies. The diagnosis is often hindered by interobserver disagreement.

Molecular pathology selected abstracts

April 2021—Genetic testing for breast cancer hereditary predisposition genes is used to guide cancer screening strategies, risk-reducing surgery, and therapeutic interventions, in accordance with national guidelines.

Clinical pathology selected abstracts

March 2021—Convalescent plasma, with neutralizing and non-neutralizing anti-viral antibodies, has been used to treat COVID-19 patients. Plasma is collected from people who have recovered from the disease and transfused to those who are infected. Data have shown improvements in patients with severe infections who are transfused with COVID-19 convalescent plasma. The majority of people who have COVID-19 will demonstrate IgM and IgG antibodies within two weeks of symptom onset. These antibodies have specificity toward the receptor-binding domain (RBD) and spike protein viral epitopes that correspond to virus neutralization.
