#USCAP2025 w/ Dr Matias-Giu. In endometrial carcinoma, cells at the invasive front undergo EMT transiently and revert to an epithelial phenotype after invasion. In contrast, in carcinosarcoma, EMT is thought to be permanent rather than transient phenomenon . #PathWebinarPearls

#USCAP2025 w/ Dr Mete. Differentiated neuroendocrine neoplasms have lineage specificity- they replicate some of the developmental biomarkers based on their anatomic region or location. Contrast to NECs which ❌ respect lineage specificity (aberrant expression). #PathWebinarPearls

A select panel of histiocytic/osteoblastic/osteoclastic markers may be helpful in deciphering plasmacytoid UC from UCOGC. PMID: 40512053. NGS may also be helpful as plasmacytoid UC classically harbors 🧬CDH1 mutations🧬.

All 14 cases in our series had conventional UCOGC areas + a mononuclear component resembling plasmacytoid UC. Interestingly, 30% of the tumors also showed true plasmacytoid UC morphology as a distinct subtype

🚨 Morphologic and immunophenotypic overlap🚨. Urothelial carcinomas w/ osteoclast-like giant cells (UCOGC) can have mononuclear cells w/ eccentric nuclei resembling plasmacytoid UC. These cells also show loss of E-cad & cytoplasmic p120 staining.

#USCAP2025 w/ Dr Voltaggio. Identifying 4 lines helps avoid missed dysplasia in upper GI & reduces equivocal cases → fewer interventions. Loss of lines = dysplasia. 4 Lines:.1.mucin cap.2.bottom of mucin cap.3.cytoplasm.4.nuclei. #PathWebinarPearls

#USCAP2025 w/ @JLHornick . Undifferentiated and dedifferentiated melanomas are tough 😨, they have lost staining for conventional melanoma markers. Using mutation-specific IHC BRAF V600E and considering clinical history (ie. axilla) are key for diagnosis. #PathWebinarPearls

#USCAP2025 w/ Dr Voltaggio. Esophageal ⬆️ grade dysplasia/intramucosal adeno → treated with EMR. Presence of muscularis mucosa = lateral margin; large vessels + loose CT = deep margin. Recommendation to pin specimen before fixing for easier margin assessment. #PathWebinarPearls

#USCAP with Dr James Lewis . We know to test all oropharyngeal cancers for HPV but what about ✨sinonasal✨? --> recommendation to also test these for HPV (25% associated w/HPV). Mechanism? pharyngeal reflux, so still thought to be sexually transmitted. #PathWebinarPearls
