TL;DR: An international review of lymphomas found that each of us had independently evolved ways of viewing these diseases that were essentially identical, and there was little divergence between European and US participants.

TL;DR: Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies are useful in the diagnosis of renal vasculitis but whether they are important in its pathogenesis is not known.

TL;DR: The impact of morphology in both bone marrow biopsy and aspiration on the diagnostic and prognostic approach to MM, and on the planning of appropriate therapy, is emphasized.

TL;DR: It is important to recognized and distinguish these vasculitis look-alikes and pseudovasculitis syndromes so that unnecessary treatment with immunosuppressive and cytotoxic agents, all with harmful side-effects, can be avoided.

TL;DR: Basal cell carcinomas with a neuroendocrine cell component, together a with case of apocrine carcinoma, showing endocrine differentiation, are further evidence of the spectrum of endocrine lesions of the skin.

TL;DR: A cytomorphologic approach is stressed that allows the separation between benign and malignant lesions and their subclassification and the emphasis is on cyto-histologic correlation of tumours that are aspirated for diagnosis and surgically removed for treatment.

TL;DR: The impact of ‘imported ills' and the consequences of HIV infection with regard to the increasing incidence of nasal opportunistic infections and neoplasia are highlighted, and the role of the Epstein Barr virus in relation to neoplastic disorders is discussed.

TL;DR: To function properly multicellular organisms require the dissemination of information both systemically and locally, and the body's tissues, in large part, rely on information derived from cell-cell and cellmatrix interactions for their integrity, function and spatial organisation.

TL;DR: Anal carcinoma should be regarded as keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma, with anal margin carcinoma more likely to show pure squamous morphology than canal tumours, and the existence of basaloid carcinoma as a separate entity is not supported by results.

TL;DR: Some recent findings on benign cysts and cystic neoplasms of odontogenic origin and those which present diagnostic difficulty or which may involve more complex management are reviewed with special regard to their diagnostic relevance.

TL;DR: The widespread utilization of a diagnostic scheme as outlined in Figure 8 requires an understanding of the relative diagnostic accuracies of the biopsy techniques currently available, an informed and reliable patient population and a national health care and litigation policy recognizing the limitations of any and all diagnostic modalities.

TL;DR: The sine qua non for the diagnosis of immature teratoma is the presence of at least some immature tissue resembling that of the normal embryo; the amount of such tissue varies from rare loci to a predominant component.

TL;DR: The ability to detect small clonal populations will be of great importance in the follow up of patients with lymphoproliferative disorders who receive intensive treatment and the value of these techniques in resolving diagnostic problems is limited.

TL;DR: Improved understanding of the pathogenesis of systemic vasculitis is likely to provide the basis for the use of more selective immunomodulatory therapies in the future and to elucidate further those specific processes relevant to vasculopathy which result in endothelial cell damage.

TL;DR: High expression of E-selectin was associated with alterations of intravascular coagulation, as indicated by immunostaining of some vascular endothelial cells for tissue factor, by a higher incidence ofintravascular thrombi, and by the extensive presence of areas of fibrin exudation and necrosis.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided in favor of a relationship between follicular dendritic reticulum cells (FDRC) and Reed-Sternberg (RS) cells of Hodgkin's disease (HD) other than the lymphocyte predominance subtype.
