A great presentation by Dr. Julia Gallardo on Hepatic Epstein-Barr Virus Associated Smooth Muscle Tumors at #USCAP2026. Fascinating insights from their cohort study!

Von Meyenberg complexes (bile duct hamartomas) = classic mimic of liver mets on lap & frozens.

• Small, subcapsular, well-circumscribed lesions
• Irregular but bland ductules in dense fibrous stroma
• No atypia, no mitoses
• No infiltrative edge
• Often multiple #GIPath

p53 IHC can help confirm a diagnosis of esophageal squamous dysplasia. In occasional HPV-associated cases, p16 staining is strongly reactive. This example is probably driven by a TP53 mutation. Don't expect the full thickness staining typical of glandular dysplasia.

Intestinal elastosis/elastofibromatous change produces a polyp and probably reflects a damaged submucosal blood vessel.

This week, I learned not only that gangliocytic paragangliomas were reclassified by the WHO as composite gangliocytoma/neuroma and neuroendocrine tumor (CoGNET) - thank you Rhonda Yantiss - but also that they can express CD117/KIT to result in wrong diagnoses on small biopsies.

One of our talented PGY-2s, Mohamed Moustafa, presented a case report on a rare instance of GIST involving the ovary this past weekend at the Texas Society of Pathologists’ Summer Conference.

Pyloric gland adenoma in uninflamed gastric body. There is an association with autoimmune gastritis (pyloric metaplasia progressing to pyloric adenoma) but this patient does not have it. Note the appearance of the surface of the adenoma versus the adjoining foveolar epithelium.
