    ANNUAL MEETING ABSTRACTS 467A Pulmonary Pathology (including Mediastinal) 1849 Loss of p16INK4A Expression Predicts Worse Outcome in Thymic Carcinoma Scott W Aesif, Marie-Christine Aubry, Eunhee S Yi, Sarah M Jenkins, Grant Spears, Anja C Roden. Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN. Background: In many human cancers, abnormalities in genes and proteins that regulate the cell cycle have been demonstrated. For instance, p16INK4A (p16), a tumor suppressor, inhibits cyclin D1-mediated phosphorylation of the retinoblastoma protein and ultimately leads to cell cycle blockade. In non-small cell lung cancer, low p16 expression has been associated with increased cyclin D1 expression and worse survival. In thymic carcinoma, studies showed loss of p16 expression in approximately two thirds of cases. However, the association of loss of p16 expression with cyclin D1 expression, prognosis, stage and clinical parameters has not been investigated in thymic carcinomas. Design: Thymic carcinomas (1963-2013) were reviewed by 3 thoracic pathologists who agreed on the diagnosis. Medical records were studied. Consecutive slides were stained for p16 and cyclin D1. Percent tumor cell staining (p16, cyclin D1) was scored as 0 (<1% or negative), 1+ (1-25% tumor cells staining), 2+ (26-50%), 3+ (51-75%), Conclusions: In this limited data set, we find that BMM cases with less than 50% and 4+ (>75%). Staining profiles were correlated with patient demographics, clinical sarcomatoid component have a survival advantage. Significant interobserver agreement presentation, pathologic staging (TNM and modified Masaoka), tumor subtype (WHO), is noted between two independent pathologists in sub-stratifying BMM cases. tumor size, and overall (OS) and disease free survival (DFS).

  • Pulmonary Pathology Fellowship
    PULMONARY PATHOLOGY FELLOWSHIP The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine University of Calgary Calgary, Alberta Description and Objectives Pulmonary Pathology Fellowship Prepared: December 2011 PULMONARY PATHOLOGY FELLOWSHIP Description Fellowship Director: Margaret M. Kelly Fellowship purpose: • To train pathologists to understand and diagnose routine, complex and esoteric pathologic specimens from the lung, pleura and mediastinum • To train pathologists to effectively educate and communicate with medical students, trainees, other pathologists and clinicians regarding diseases of the lung, pleura and mediastinum • To advance the discipline of pulmonary pathology. The Pulmonary Pathology Fellowship Program will be administered under the auspices of the Division of Anatomic Pathology and will be mostly based at the Foothills Medical Centre. Curriculum: The Fellow is expected to be present in the department during laboratory working hours: Monday - Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00.p.m. The curriculum consists of rotations through the Pulmonary Pathology Consult services (8 months), pediatric pathology (1 month) and research (3 months). Participation in the Pulmonary Pathology Consult service will include coverage of frozen section activities (of lung, pleura and mediastinal lesions), in collaboration with surgical pathology residents and faculty. It will also include observing various surgical techniques related to lung. This will include observing VATS, open lung resections, transbronchial biopsies and EBUS procedures. These will be co-ordinated with Dr. Gary Gelfand (head of thoracic surgery) and Dr. Alain Tremblay (head of interventional pulmonology). To supplement the “on the job” learning, the fellow will utilize Dr. Kelly’s pulmonary pathology teaching collection, relevant cases from the departmental teaching collection, participate in medical student teaching, and participate in regularly scheduled interdisciplinary conferences including a multi-institutional journal club.

  • Spontaneous Pneumothorax As Unusual Presenting Symptom Of
    Bellini et al. Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery (2020) 15:310 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13019-020-01343-4 CASE REPORT Open Access Spontaneous pneumothorax as unusual presenting symptom of COVID-19 pneumonia: surgical management and pathological findings Roberto Bellini1†, Maria Chiara Salandini1*† , Serena Cuttin2, Stefania Mauro3, Paolo Scarpazza4 and Christian Cotsoglou1 Abstract Background: Spontaneous pneumothorax has been reported as a possibile complication of novel coronavirus associated pneumonia (COVID-19). We report two cases of COVID-19 patients who developed spontaeous and recurrent pneumothorax as a presenting symptom, treated with surgical procedure. An insight on pathological finding is given. Case presentation: Two patients presented to our hospital with spontaneous pneumothorax associated with Sars- Cov2 infection onset. After initial conservative treatment with chest drain, both patients had a recurrence of pneumothorax during COVI-19 disease, contralateral (patient 1) or ipsilateral (patient 2) and therefore underwent lung surgery with thoracoscopy and bullectomy. Intraoperative findings of COVID-19 pneumonia were parenchymal atelectasis and vascular congestion. Lung tissue was very frail and prone to bleeding. Histological examination showed interstitial infiltration of lymphocytes and plasma cells, as seen in non specific interstitial pneumonia, together with myo-intimal thicknening of vessels with blood extravasation and microthrombi. Conclusions: Although rarely, COVID-19 may present with spontaneous pneumothorax. Lung surgery for pneumothorax in COVID-19 patients can be safely and effectively performed when necessary.

The monograph “Essentials of Lung Tumor Cytology “ is the result of my experience gained in over 20 years of active involvement in the cytodiagnosis of lung tumors at the University of Alberta Hospital, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It is written for practicing pathologists in community hospitals, residents in pathology and cytotechnologists who are interested in making safe and accurate cytodiagnoses of important tumors of the lung and pleura. The text is concise and illustrations are abundant. Several of histologic images are included for cytohistologic correlation. In the first edition of the monograph (2007), cytodiagnostic criteria of lung tumors were presented. In this revised edition, immunocytochemical features of lung tumor cells that are important for tumor typing and differential diagnosis are stressed. A number of important references are listed at the end of each chapter for further consultation.

  • Granulomatous Lung Disease: How Pathologic Findings Add Value to Clinical And
    PULMONARY PATHOLOGY SOCIETY COMPANION MEETING HANDOUT/SYLLABUS Granulomatous Lung Disease: How Pathologic Findings Add Value to Clinical and Radiologic Information Sanjay Mukhopadhyay, MD Department of Pathology, Cleveland Clinic Standard teaching often highlights pitfalls in pathologic interpretation and emphasizes the benefits of correlating pathologic findings with clinical and radiologic features. This presentation aims to provide a different perspective; i.e., it will attempt to highlight the value of histologic findings in the diagnosis of granulomatous lung disease, and illustrate cases in which excessive reliance on clinical or radiologic features would lead to misdiagnosis. Throughout the presentation, the approach to the differential diagnosis of granulomas in the lung will be emphasized (Table 1). Table 1: Differential diagnosis of granulomatous inflammation in the lung (for details of individual entities, see Mukhopadhyay and Gal in References) Entity Necrotizing granulomas Non-necrotizing granulomas Tuberculosis Typical Common, usually mixed with necrotizing granulomas Non-tubercular Typical Common, usually mixed with mycobacterial necrotizing granulomas 1 infection Histoplasmosis Typical Occasional, usually mixed with necrotizing granulomas Cryptococcosis Occasional Common, can be mixed with necrotizing granulomas; pure non-necrotizing granulomatous inflammation with multinucleated giant cells is also fairly common Blastomycosis Typical, suppurative Possible, usually overshadowed (neutrophil-rich) by suppurative granulomas
