Journal Article
Pareja, F., Geyer, F. C., Brown, D. N., Sebastião, A. P. M., Gularte-Mérida, R., Li, A., …Reis-Filho, J. S. (2019). Assessment of HMGA2 and PLAG1 rearrangements in breast adenomyoepitheliomas. npj Breast Cancer, 5, Article 6 (2019). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41523-018-0101-7

Breast adenomyoepitheliomas (AMEs) are rare epithelial-myoepithelial neoplasms that may occasionally produce myxochondroid matrix, akin to pleomorphic adenomas (PAs). Regardless of their anatomic location, PAs often harbor rearrangements involving HM... Read More about Assessment of HMGA2 and PLAG1 rearrangements in breast adenomyoepitheliomas.

Breast tumours resembling the tall cell variant of thyroid papillary carcinoma: are they part of the papillary carcinoma spectrum or a distinct entity? (2018)
Journal Article
Toss, M., Billingham, K., Egbuniwe, I., Moreno, F., Abass, A., & Rakha, E. (2018). Breast tumours resembling the tall cell variant of thyroid papillary carcinoma: are they part of the papillary carcinoma spectrum or a distinct entity?. Pathobiology, 1-9. https://doi.org/10.1159/000490416

Background: Papillary tumours of the breast are diagnostically challenging lesions and represent a wide spectrum of diseases from papilloma to invasive papillary carcinoma. A rare subtype of breast papillary tumour resembling the tall cell variant of...

Loss-of-function mutations in ATP6AP1 and ATP6AP2 in granular cell tumors (2018)
Journal Article
Pareja, F., Brandes, A. H., Basili, T., Selenica, P., Geyer, F. C., Fan, D., …Reis-Filho, J. S. (2018). Loss-of-function mutations in ATP6AP1 and ATP6AP2 in granular cell tumors. Nature Communications, 9, Article 3533. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-018-05886-y

Granular cell tumors (GCTs) are rare tumors that can arise in multiple anatomical locations, and are characterized by abundant intracytoplasmic granules. The genetic drivers of GCTs are currently unknown. Here, we apply whole-exome sequencing and tar... Read More about Loss-of-function mutations in ATP6AP1 and ATP6AP2 in granular cell tumors.

© 2018, United States & Canadian Academy of Pathology. The classification of neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) differs between organ systems and currently causes considerable confusion. A uniform classification framework for NENs at any anatomical lo...
