The evolution of pathology from its rudimentary beginnings around 1700 BC to the present day has been marked by profound advancement in understanding and diagnosing diseases. This journey, from the earliest dissections to the modern era of histochemical analysis, sets the stage for the next transformative leap to the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in pathology. Recent research highlights AI's significant potential to revolutionize healthcare within the next decade, with a particular impact on diagnostic processes.

Pulmonary epithelioid angiosarcomas (EASs) are rare malignant vascular tumors that are aggressive, frequently metastatic, and associated with a poor prognosis. We describe these two rare conditions occurring concurrently.

GZL is an aggressive disease, which in addition to the B-symptoms, can present as shortness of breath and neck swelling from underlying superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome. Thrombosis of the internal jugular vein (IJVT) is rare and usually associated with head and neck infection, intravenous (IV) drug abuse, and central venous catheter placement.

However, morphologic changes have been described by only a few studies. We report morphologic and quantitative changes in peripheral blood of COVID-19 patients.
