Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome 1 (TRPS1) is a nuclear protein highly expressed in breast epithelial cells. TRPS1 immunohistochemistry (IHC) has been suggested as a breast cancer marker. To determine the diagnostic and prognostic utility of TRPS1 IHC, tissue microarrays containing 19,201 samples from 152 different tumor types and subtypes were analyzed....

Most extrauterine high-grade serous carcinomas (HGSCs) are thought to develop first in the distal fallopian tube. Most models of HGSC assume origin from relatively stable, noninvasive serous tubal intraepithelial carcinomas. However, widespread tumor involvement in the absence of a serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma could occur after catastrophic...

Uterine inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms of uncertain malignant potential. Aside from the recently described risk stratification score, which has not been validated by other studies, and rare reports of aberrant p16 expression in malignant tumors, there are no criteria to reliably predict behavior. Herein, we...

Classic Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) can arise in patients with low-grade B-cell lymphoma. The features of CHL arising in follicular lymphoma (FL) and its outcome are still unclear, mainly due to the very few cases reported. This study compares 17 patients with CHL and FL to 2 control groups: 1 of 26 patients with FL and a second of 60 patients older than...

Since their original description as a distinctive neoplastic entity, ~50 TFE3-rearranged perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas) have been reported. We herein report 25 new TFE3-rearranged PEComas and review the published literature to further investigate their clinicopathologic spectrum. Notably, 5 of the 25 cases were associated with a prior...

Tuberculosis (TB) poses a significant health threat in Taiwan, necessitating efficient detection methods. Traditional screening for acid-fast positive bacilli in acid-fast stain is time-consuming and prone to human error due to staining artifacts. To address this, we present an automated TB detection platform leveraging deep learning and image processing....
