Summary : In this issue of Surgical Pathology Clinics, guest editor Dr. Aatur D. Singhi brings his considerable expertise to the topic of Pancreatobiliary Neoplastic Pathology. Top experts in the field discuss precursor and malignant neoplasms (with mimics) such as molecular discoveries (e.g., IOPNs), neoadjuvant treatment histopathology (e.g., grading), immunohistochemical biomarkers (e.g., prognostic markers for neuroendocrine tumors), and more. Contains 13 relevant, practice-oriented topics including the diagnostic challenge of evaluating small biopsies from the pancreatobiliary system; integrating molecular analysis to the pathologic evaluation of pancreatic cysts; the cytomorphologic and molecular assessment of bile duct brushing specimens; advances in the surgical approach to pancreatobiliary neoplasms; and more. Provides in-depth clinical reviews on pancreatobiliary neoplastic pathology, offering actionable insights for clinical practice. Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.

Summary : Knowledge of cutaneous lymphomas has been growing significantly as a result of important discoveries in immunology, molecular biology, and immunohistochemistry. Improved clinical pathologic correlation and follow-up data, as well as the synergistic collaboration among different lymphoma registries and specialists from several academic medical centers have greatly contributed to the understanding of the difficult field of cutaneous lymphoproliferative disorders. While these advances have increased understanding of skin lymphomas, they have also produced an extensive and sometimes confusing litany of articles, studies, and classification schemes. This issue on Cutaneous Lymphomas in Surgical Pathology Clinics provides an organized and updated review of this challenging topic by leading experts. It bridges critical knowledge gaps in the diagnosis of cutaneous lymphomas. Sezary Syndrome, Mycosis Fungoides and variants are presented along with B-cell, CD30, lymphoproliferative disorders among others. In addition to multiple clinical and microscopic images, tables and algorithms are presented to aid in diagnosis and staging. Beyond its usefulness to general pathologists, dermatopathologists, and hematopathologists, this information is intended to be helpful for dermatologists, hematologists/oncologists, fellows, and residents.
