January 2026—Ossifying fibromyxoid tumors with lipomatous and cartilaginous differentiation are rare mesenchymal neoplasms that can be challenging to diagnose. A study identified six cases with these features, expanding the tumor’s known histomorphological spectrum.
January 2025—TITAN, a multimodal whole slide foundation model, outperforms existing slide encoders in various diagnostic and prognostic tasks, including rare disease classification. While promising, TITAN’s limitations, such as partial image representation and domain shift, necessitate further validation and workflow integration before clinical use.
January 2026—Two studies investigated the use of DNA methylation patterns and sex-specific gene expression in neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) and Alzheimer disease, respectively.
January 2026—The CAP Council on Informatics and Pathology Innovation (CIPI) launched the CIPI Connections podcast, focusing on informatics in pathology. The podcast, featuring episodes on various topics, aims to educate and introduce listeners to pathology innovators and thought leaders.
