Anatomic pathology selected abstracts

June 2026—Atypical endometriosis is a potential precursor of endometriosis-associated ovarian carcinoma. Despite this, identification of atypical endometriosis (AE) lacks established clinical implications and is not routinely incorporated in histopathological examinations for endometriosis. The authors conducted a study to determine the interobserver variability in AE diagnosis and classify features that may contribute to consistent identification and diagnosis.

Molecular pathology selected abstracts

June 2026—Studies of genetic variants in autism spectrum disorders have identified copy-number variants and single-nucleotide variants in more than 100 autism spectrum disorder-associated genes. However, much of the genetic and neurobiological bases of such disorders are still unclear. Some of the yet unexplained genetic basis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may lie in variants that may be difficult to detect by short-read whole genome sequencing (SR-WGS), such as specific structural variants and tandem repeats.

June 2026—As the scope and scale of information technology available to the pathology laboratory balloons, so too do the number of proposals for lab IT projects, products, and partnerships. And those pitching such proposals can up their odds of success if they avoid using technical jargon, acronyms, and other IT speak when explaining such endeavors to an audience without expertise in those areas, says communications expert Terry Rubin.

Put It on the Board

June 2026—The blood bank community, state pathology societies, and the CAP and Association for the Advancement of Blood and Biotherapies are working to oppose state bills that mandate directed and autologous blood donations. Most such proposals have failed, but Idaho’s law was enacted on March 16. It will go into effect July 1.

ESR1 mutation testing questions follow trial

May 2026—When it comes to cancer mutations, there are big fish in little ponds, and little fish in big ponds, and big fish in big ponds, and little fish in little ponds. The ESR1 mutation and its emergence in advanced breast cancer is still deciding what stripe of fish it is—or rather, breast specialists, researchers, and the FDA are in the midst of figuring out potentially important uses …

Forge ahead or hold on HPV self-collection

May 2026—Two years after the Food and Drug Administration approved the first HPV self-collection devices, physicians and cervical cancer prevention advocates are debating the best use for the new screening option.

Risk management elevated to more formal framework

May 2026—In the laboratory general accreditation checklist in the 2025 edition, released last December, is new emphasis on a prospective risk assessment process in the laboratory’s quality management …
