    Abstract Context.—: The most common benign hepatic mass-forming lesions often display fairly specific imaging characteristics, whereas less familiar, rarer benign neoplasms and pseudotumors may pose a diagnostic challenge in clinical, radiology, and pathology practice because of either their rarity or their unusual features.
    Objective.—: To review a selection of pseudotumors and unusual benign hepatic neoplasms encountered in consultation practices with a focus on nonepithelial tumors.
    Data sources.—: Sources include English-language literature and personal experiences.
    Conclusions.—: Several benign conditions (namely, segmental atrophy, infections, immunoglobulin G4 [IgG4]-related sclerosing disease, angiomyolipoma, mesenchymal hamartoma, and various vascular lesions) can lead to formation of hepatic masses. Because of their rarity and underrecognition, such lesions are often diagnostically challenging. Awareness of hepatic pseudotumors and various rare hepatic neoplasms and their potential mimics can forestall misdiagnosis and inappropriate management.

    Abstract Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the deadliest types of cancer worldwide. There are many reasons for this dismal prognosis, including the advanced stage at the time of diagnosis and the lack of effective therapeutic approaches. Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) represent detectable and treatable precursor lesions of PDAC. Our understanding of the pathology of IPMNs has evolved over the past few decades, and new advances in diagnostic tools have emerged. The new World Health Organization (WHO) classification scheme now recognizes the previously considered variants of IPMNs, such as intraductal oncocytic papillary neoplasms (IOPNs) and intraductal tubulopapillary neoplasms (ITPNs), as distinct neoplasms. New imaging and molecular diagnostic tests are being developed to recognize these PDAC precursor lesions better. Here, we review the advances in diagnostic tools for IPMNs, IOPNs, and ITPNs, emphasizing the new (5th edition, 2019) WHO classification for pathological diagnosis, molecular markers, new laboratory tests, and imaging tools.

    Abstract Context.—: The 5th edition of the World Health Organization classification of digestive system tumors discusses several advancements and developments in understanding the etiology, pathogenesis, and diagnosis of several digestive tract tumors.
    Objective.—: To provide a summary of the updates with a focus on neuroendocrine neoplasms, appendiceal tumors, and the molecular advances in tumors of the digestive system.
    Data sources.—: English literature and personal experiences.
    Conclusions.—: Some of the particularly important updates in the 5th edition are the alterations made in the classification of neuroendocrine neoplasms, understanding of pathogenesis of appendiceal tumors and their precursor lesions, and the expanded role of molecular pathology in establishing an accurate diagnosis or predicting prognosis and response to treatment.

    Abstract A host of human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated squamous and glandular lesions may be identified in the anal canal in men and women. Given their relative rarity, familiarity with the morphological spectrum associated with HPV-driven anal neoplasia is important for proper identification and diagnosis. In this article, we review the classification and basic histopathological features of HPV-related squamous intraepithelial and invasive lesions as well as associated pitfalls. In addition, we provide an update on recently described HPV-driven, non-squamous tumours. As our experience with these lesions evolves, we expect the histological spectrum to further expand, particularly as it relates to non-squamous HPV-driven neoplasia.

    Abstract Aim: Blue nevus (BN) is a benign melanocytic proliferation that is typically cutaneous. Extracutaneous BN is infrequent and is reported in the mucosa of various organs. Gastrointestinal (GI) tract BN is rare. Here, we describe the clinicopathological findings of the largest series of GI tract BNs.
    Methods: A search of our Pathology Data System (1984-2019) identified six GI tract blue nevi. Clinical information, pathology reports and available H&E-stained section slides were reviewed.
    Results: Lesions predominated in the middle-aged adults (mean 54, range 27-80) with a slight female predominance (66%). Most cases arose in the rectum and colon (83%), with one gastric lesion (17%). Four cases were identified during endoscopic examination performed either for screening or for unrelated symptoms (66%). Two patients presented with rectal bleeding (33%) unassociated with the BN. Endoscopically, most lesions appeared as superficial hyperpigmented areas (83%). One case was described as abnormal mucosa (17%). Microscopically, the mucosa was involved in all of the cases (100%). One case showed submucosal extension in addition to the mucosal component (17%). Lesions showed a proliferation of bland spindle cells with abundant granular pigment. No nuclear atypia or mitoses were identified. Immunostains showed immunoreactivity for melanocytic markers. Follow-up information available for five patients showed no recurrences to date (mean follow-up 1 year).
    Conclusions: BN is a benign melanocytic proliferation. It is important to be aware of the occurrence of such lesions outside of the skin and consider the possibility of BN when pigmented lesions are encountered in the GI tract.

    Abstract Aims: Paget's disease of the perianal skin is a rare form of extramammary Paget's disease, and may be a primary intraepithelial adnexal neoplasm or secondary due to spread from an underlying colorectal lesion, nearly always colorectal adenocarcinoma. Secondary perianal Paget's disease associated with non-invasive colorectal adenomas is exceedingly uncommon, with only a few reported cases.
    Methods and results: Herein, we present the clinical and pathological features of the largest series of secondary perianal Paget's disease arising in association with colorectal adenomas. There was gender parity and the median age was 72 years (range = 68-76 years). In all cases, perianal Paget's disease was associated with colorectal adenomas, including three (75%) conventional tubular adenomas and one (25%) tubulovillous adenoma with serrated foci. All adenomas had high-grade dysplasia and one had intramucosal adenocarcinoma (lamina propria invasion; Tis), but all lacked submucosal invasion. The intraepithelial Paget's cells showed a colorectal phenotype by immunohistochemistry in all cases. At follow-up, two patients had no evidence of disease at 6 and 87 months, one had residual perianal Paget's disease at 8 months and one developed invasive adenocarcinoma of the perianal tissue at 36 months.
    Conclusions: Similar to its mammary analogue, secondary perianal Paget's disease may arise in association with invasive and/or in-situ colorectal lesions. Although the latter is an uncommon presentation of a recognised rare disease, knowledge of this phenomenon is important to forestall overdiagnosis of invasion and potential overtreatment. The clinical course is variable, such that close follow-up is required.

    Abstract Gastric mucosal biopsies and resections from patients treated with neoadjuvant radiation and/or chemotherapy are frequently encountered. These samples may show histologic features related to therapy including inflammation, ulceration, and epithelial atypia. In some cases, epithelial atypia may be marked, prompting the use of adjunct p53 immunohistochemistry. We examined p53 expression by immunohistochemistry in gastric mucosa following therapy.
    We evaluated the histology and p53 immunohistochemical expression in gastric mucosa from 5
    We identified histomorphologic features of therapy-related epithelial changes in 50 of 60 cases (83%). Abnormal p53 expression was present at least focally in nearly half the cases (27 of 60 cases; 45%), all of which showed morphologic evidence of therapy-related epithelial changes
    Our results demonstrate that abnormal p53 expression is relatively common in gastric mucosal samples following radiation and/or chemotherapy and suggest that p53 expression should be avoided when distinguishing therapy
