    Abstract mRNA-based vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 have been proven to be very efficient in preventing severe COVID-19. Temporary lymphadenopathy (LA) has been observed as a common adverse event following immunization. Here we describe a case series of three female patients with prominent local to generalized LA after SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-1273 vaccination, which led to lymph node biopsy due to the suspicion of lymphoma or metastasis. All three patients morphologically showed similar patterns of follicular hyperplasia and especially extrafollicular blast activation. Two of the three patients only had short-lasting humoral immune responses to the vaccination. Gene expression profiling (GEP) using the HTG

    Abstract Introduction: Primary breast malignancy in adolescent women is very rare and differs in several aspects from findings in adult women.
    Case presentation: A young woman aged 16 years presented with a locally aggressive breast tumor. The patient received cisplatin-based chemotherapy followed by tumor resection assuming a diagnosis of germ cell tumor. Four months later, she developed locally recurrent disease and underwent a mastectomy. No definite diagnosis was agreed upon despite intensive pathological workup. Subsequent management consisted of follow-up only and the patient remains in complete remission 9 years later.
    Conclusion: This case demonstrates the difficulty of diagnosis and management of rare malignancies in adolescents, and highlights the importance of international and interdisciplinary collaboration in diagnosis and clinical decision-making.

    Abstract Introduction: Since angiotensin converting enzyme-2 (ACE2) was discovered as an essential entry factor of SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2), there has been conflicting evidence regarding the role of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) in COVID-19. This study elucidates pulmonary expression patterns SARS-CoV-2 entry factors (ACE2 and transmembrane protease serine subtype 2, TMPRSS2) and RAAS components in lethal COVID-19.
    Methods: Lung tissue from COVID-19 autopsies (n = 27) and controls (n = 23) underwent immunohistochemical staining for RAAS components (angiotensin receptors 1 and 2, ACE2 and Mas-receptor) and bradykinin receptors 1 and 2. Staining of individual cellular populations (alveolar pneumocytes [ALV], desquamated cells [DES] and endothelium [END]) was measured by a binary scale (positive/negative). SARS-CoV-2 was detected using immunohistochemistry against nucleocapsid protein, in-situ hybridization and quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Gene expression profiling for ACE2, ACE and TMPRSS2 was performed.
    Results: Subtle differences were observed when comparing COVID-19 patients and controls not reaching statistical significance, such as a higher incidence of ACE2-positivity in END (52% vs. 39%) but lower positivity in ALVs (63% vs. 70%) and an overall downregulation of ACE2 gene expression (0.25 vs. 0.55). However, COVID-19 patients with RAAS inhibitor (RAASi) intake had significantly shorter hospitalization times (5 vs. 12 days), higher viral loads (57,517 vs. 15,980/106 RNase P-gene copies) and decreased ACE/ACE2-expression ratios (4.58 vs. 11.07) than patients without. TMPRSS2 expression was significantly (1.76-fold) higher in COVID-19 patients than controls.
    Conclusion: Our study delineates the heterogeneous expression patterns of RAAS components in the lungs, which vary amongst cellular populations, and implies that COVID-19 patients with RAASi-intake present with a more rapid disease progression, although this requires further investigation.

    Abstract Tall cell carcinoma with reversed polarity (TCCRP) is a rare breast carcinoma with low malignant potential, initially named “breast tumor resembling the tall cell variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma”, which has recently been recognized as a separate entity in the 5th edition of the WHO (World Health Organization) classification of breast tumors. Since the first report of this entity in 2003, more than 40 cases have been reported in the literature. Here, we report another case of this rare tumor in a 60-year-old woman. We performed immunohistochemical analyses and next-generation-sequencing (NGS) using the Oncomine™ Comprehensive DNA Panel (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The tumor showed the typical morphological features of TCCRP and a “triple-negative” phenotype. Moreover, we identified pathogenic mutations in the IDH2 (p.R172G) and PIK3CA (p.H1047R) genes. We report a case of TCCRP of the breast showing the characteristic morphologic, immunohistochemical and molecular features of this entity. There is still a limited number of cases with comprehensive molecular analyses reported in the literature. Therefore, we herewith contribute to a better understanding of the morphological and molecular characteristics as well as the clinical behavior of this rare entity.

    Abstract Although initial immunophenotypical studies on peripheral blood and bronchoalveolar lavage samples have provided a glimpse into the immunopathology of COVID-19, analyses of pulmonary draining lymph nodes are currently scarce. 22 lethal COVID-19 cases and 28 controls were enrolled in this study. Pulmonary draining lymph nodes (mediastinal, tracheal, peribronchial) were collected at autopsy. Control lymph nodes were selected from a range of histomorphological sequelae [unremarkable histology, infectious mononucleosis, follicular hyperplasia, non-SARS related HLH, extrafollicular plasmablast activation, non-SARS related diffuse alveolar damage (DAD), pneumonia]. Samples were mounted on a tissue microarray and underwent immunohistochemical staining for a selection of immunological markers and

    Abstract Purpose: To macroscopically, histologically, and radiologically describe a time-dependent remodeling process of a neo-tendon or -ligament in the shoulder after the arthroscopic Latarjet procedure.
    Methods: During follow-up surgery after the arthroscopic Latarjet procedure, 17 shoulders in 16 patients were evaluated for a remodeled tendon-like structure. The mean overall follow-up period was 27.4 months. The mean time between the arthroscopic Latarjet procedure and revision was 11.6 months. All shoulders were evaluated with magnetic resonance imaging, and seven histologic specimens were obtained during revision surgery.
    Results: A distinct, oriented strand of tissue was found in 16 of 17 shoulders on revision surgery. Postoperative magnetic resonance imaging analyses showed a signal-free, longitudinal tendon-like structure originating at the tip of the acromion, traversing the space of the former subcoracoid bursa to attach in the course of the transposed conjoint tendon or the proximal short head of the biceps. Histologic analysis of seven specimens showed a characteristic timeline of remodeling.
    Conclusions: A tendon- or ligament-like structure is remodeled between the anterior bottom tip of the acromion and the transposed coracoid process in a time-dependent manner after the arthroscopic Latarjet procedure.
    Level of evidence: Level IV, therapeutic case series.
