A study identifies high-grade renal tumors linked to FLCN mutations, characterized by aggressive features and varied growth patterns. The findings highlight the need for FLCN testing in cases resembling high-grade papillary RCC.

WHAT'S NEW IN COLORECTAL TUMORS (WHO 6TH EDITION 2026)
Low-grade tubuloglandular adenocarcinoma
-Almost exclusively in IBD
-Well diff glands with no desmoplasia
-May be mistaken for non-invasive disease on biopsy

3 things to remember about OGT-rearranged mesenchymal neoplasm (also known as myoepthelioma-like hyalinizing epithelioid tumor, MHET):
💎 Well circumscribed, multinodular, composed of bland epithelioid to spindled cells set in a 2 toned stroma with myxochondroid (blue) and acellular hyalinized (pink) areas
💎 Signet ring-like cells with cytoplasmic processes engulfing extracellular hyaline globular material
💎 No IHC evidence of myoepithelial diff (➖ve for AE1/ AE3, SOX10, S100P, GFAP)
Consistently ➕ve for CD34
🌟Bonus info: Recurrent fusions of OGT and members of FOXO, most commonly FOXO3, FOXO1, FOXO4

Hot from Press of Advances in Anatomic Pathology! Based on the latest guidelines from joint GUPS/ISUP Expert Consultation, this highly illustrative guide on Intraductal Carcinoma of the prostate offers a unified framework to reduce variation and optimize patient management
Delighted to share our article published this month in European Urology @EUplatinum (new Journal Impact Factor: 29).
Congratulations to our esteemed global multidisciplinary expert panel for making this landmark work possible. We hope these recommendations will improve communications and diagnostic reproducibility, streamline multidisciplinary patient care, and ultimately support earlier intervention and more personalized management of genitourinary diseases.

Just out in AJSP – a paper from our group describing a MAJOR new oddity.
Tumors that normally arise in the jaw from tooth🦷precursors (ameloblastoma) – but as lung primaries 🫁!
This was a neat collaboration b/w MSKCC, Mayo and UTSW where these cases were encountered independently, and we put our heads together with the help of original contributors and fellows to tackle this puzzle.
Time will tell if these are truly exceptional or have been underrecognized.

Need an update on the molecular pathology of bladder cancer? I am delighted to share a comprehensive review article by Dr. Antonio Lopez-Beltran and colleagues, published in the 2026 Annual Review Issue of Histopathology @Histo_Journal@daniel_berney 🔗 Article: https://t.co/wPYmanaOxC
Advances in molecular classification, biomarker development, and personalized therapies are transforming the management of bladder cancer. The rapid expansion of therapeutic targets - together with ongoing clinical validation—underscores the essential role of pathologists, as pre-analytical and analytical considerations directly impact the approval, adoption, and optimal use of new cancer drugs. Integrating molecular and morphologic data into routine pathology reporting will be critical to support clinical decision-making and enable precision-based treatment.
Molecular classification remains a rapidly evolving research area with major potential to reshape clinical practice. The marked molecular and morphological heterogeneity of urothelial carcinoma presents challenges, but also offers opportunities to refine patient stratification and tailor therapeutic interventions. Emerging liquid-based biomarkers—including circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and urinary tumor DNA (utDNA)—show strong promise for detecting minimal residual disease, monitoring treatment response, and assessing disease dynamics in a minimally invasive manner.
