Manuscript title-Leonine facies and hoarseness in disseminated histoplasmosis: A diagnostic pitfall.

Trop Doct

September 2025

Professor and Head, Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprosy, King George's Medical University, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India.

A 56-year old immuno-competent male from a non-endemic region in India presented with progressive weight loss, hoarseness of voice and widespread cutaneous lesions, including leonine facies, genital nodules and diffuse scaling. Magnetic resonance imaging of the neck revealed oedematous thickening of the false vocal cords, epiglottis and aryepiglottic folds, suggesting laryngeal involvement. All routine investigations were normal.

Introduction: Thoracic SMARCA4-deficient undifferentiated tumor (SMARCA4-dUT) is a recently described type of lung cancer, presenting as a bulky mass variably involving the mediastinum and the lung in patients with smoking history, and exhibits adverse prognosis. The essential diagnostic immunomorphologic features and typical genomic findings have been described. However, there is a continuing need to catalogue the spectrum of genomic changes underlying the disease, the heterogeneity of antigen expression in order to avoid diagnostic pitfalls, and any variability in patient outcomes.

Hepatitis A virus (HAV) typically causes a self-limiting illness in children. Rarely, it can progress to fulminant hepatic failure (FHF), and even less commonly, may be followed by features suggestive of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). The diagnostic overlap can be particularly challenging in tropical regions, where endemic infections such as dengue and malaria may present with similar clinical features.

p63 immunohistochemical expression in tumor cells of high-grade invasive breast carcinomas on core biopsy: a potential diagnostic pitfall.

Ann Diagn Pathol

August 2025

Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences and Advanced Technologies "G.F. Ingrassia", Anatomic Pathology, University of Catania, 95123 Catania, Italy. Electronic address:

In breast pathology, p63 is a highly specific myoepithelial marker, crucial for distinguishing in situ from invasive lesions. Its expression is characteristically absent in the neoplastic cells of invasive carcinoma. However, in our diagnostic experience focal p63 expression in neoplastic cells of some high-grade breast tumors has been observed.
