Abstract
Endometrioid carcinoma is the second most common ovarian tumor, classified as an epithelial-stromal ovarian tumor, and is usually characterized by a cystic tumor with partial solid components on magnetic resonance (MR) images. In this case report, we discuss an 81-year-old female who presented with atypical genital bleeding and distended abdomen, for which she underwent abdominal computed tomography and MR imaging. Solid endometrioid carcinoma of the ovary is very rare but was confirmed in our patient during the histological examination after surgery.

Abstract
AIM Quality of care is important to reduce disease progression, and improve both survival and quality of life. The Japan Society of Gynecologic Oncology has published treatment guidelines to promote standardized high-quality care for ovarian cancer in Japan. We developed quality indicators based on the guideline recommendations and used them on large datasets of health service use to examine the quality of ovarian cancer care. METHODS A panel of experts developed the indicators using a modified Delphi method. Adherence to each indicator was evaluated using data from a hospital-based cancer registry of patients diagnosed in 2018. All patients receiving first-line treatment at participating facilities were included. The adherence rates were returned to participating hospitals, and reasons for nonadherence were collected. A total of 580 hospitals participated, and the study examined the care received by 6611 patients with ovarian cancer and 1879 with borderline tumors using 11 measurable quality indicators. RESULTS The adherence rate ranged from 22.6% for "Estrogen replacement within 6 months of operation" to 93.5% for "Bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin for germ cell tumor more than Stage II." Of 580 hospitals, 184 submitted the reasons for nonadherence. CONCLUSIONS The quality of ovarian cancer care should be continuously assessed to encourage the use of best practices. These indicators may be a useful tool for this purpose.

Abstract
The incidence of neuroendocrine carcinomas arising from the bile duct is low, and that of mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasms (MiNENs) is even lower; therefore, there is no standard treatment for MiNENs. Choosing the appropriate treatment in clinical practice is difficult. We herein report a case of unresectable extrahepatic bile duct MiNEN in a 66-year-old man who received curative chemoradiotherapy and achieved a complete response, remaining recurrence-free for 2.5 years. We consider the findings of this case to be valuable in selecting a treatment strategy for unresectable bile duct MiNENs.

Abstract
Carcinoma showing thymus-like elements (CASTLE) is a rare tumor that commonly occurs in the thyroid gland. Extrathyroidal CASTLE is rarer, and only 11 cases of CASTLE of major salivary glands have been reported to date. We report the first case of amyloid deposition in parotid CASTLE. A 63-year-old man presented with a slowly growing mass in the left parotid region. Computed tomography revealed an approximately 28 × 23 mm mass lesion in the left parotid gland, and squamous cell carcinoma was suspected on biopsy. The patient underwent a parotidectomy with neck dissection. Morphologically, the tumor cells were squamoid and formed nests with lymphoid infiltration. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells exhibited immunoreactivity for CD5, CD117/c-kit and Bcl-2, p40, and CK5 but not for p16. We diagnosed the tumor as parotid CASTLE. Amyloid deposition was also observed in the primary tumor and metastatic lymph node lesions, which were immunoreactive for cytokeratin 5. Tumor cytokeratin-derived amyloid deposition may be one of characteristics of parotid CASTLE.

Abstract
Aim This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic feasibility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings and texture features (TFs) for differentiating uterine endometrial carcinoma from uterine carcinosarcoma. Methods This retrospective study included 102 patients who were histopathologically diagnosed after surgery with uterine endometrial carcinoma (n=68) or uterine carcinosarcoma (n=34) between January 2008 and December 2021. We assessed conventional MRI findings and measurements (cMRFMs) and TFs on T2-weighted images (T2WI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map, as well as their combinations, in differentiating between uterine endometrial carcinoma and uterine carcinosarcoma. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) was used to select three features with the highest absolute value of the LASSO regression coefficient for each model and construct a discriminative model. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the disease models and conduct receiver operating characteristic analyses on the cMRFMs, T2WI-TFs, ADC-TFs, and their combined model to compare the two diseases. Results A total of four models were constructed from each of the three selected features. The area under the curve (AUC) of the discriminative model using these features was 0.772, 0.878, 0.748, and 0.915 for the cMRFMs, T2WI-TFs, ADC-TFs, and a combined model of cMRFMs and TFs, respectively. The combined model showed a higher AUC than the other models, with a high diagnostic performance (AUC=0.915). Conclusion A combined model using cMRFMs and TFs might be helpful for the differential diagnosis of uterine endometrial carcinoma and uterine carcinosarcoma.

Abstract
Pancreatic solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) is a low-grade malignant neoplasm with a good prognosis. Clinically aggressive SPNs have rarely been reported but have not been analyzed in detail. In this study, we referred to this highly malignant type of SPN as high-grade SPN (HG-SPN) and compared its clinicopathological and genetic characteristics with conventional SPN (C-SPN) using immunohistochemistry and gene panel analyses. Five HG-SPNs and 15 C-SPNs were evaluated in this study. HG-SPNs share many pathologic characteristics: macroscopically, solid/cystic appearances, microscopically, pseudopapillary/pseudorosette pattern (100%), tumor cell loose cohesiveness (100%), thin/delicate vasculature (100%), tumor cell cytoplasmic vacuolization (100%), immunohistochemical positivity for β-catenin (nuclear expression) (100%), CD10 (80%), CD56 (80%), and vimentin (100%). Conversely, HG-SPNs showed distinct malignant features compared with C-SPNs: mean tumor size (11.7 vs. 2.9 cm, P <0.001); true necrosis (100% vs. 0%, P <0.001); high-grade nuclear atypia (100% vs. 0%, P <0.001); lymphatic and/or venous invasion (100% vs. 20%, P =0.004); mean mitotic count (4.38 vs. 0.05/high-power field, P <0.001); and mean Ki-67 labeling index (33.9% vs. 3.4%, P <0.001). All HG-SPN patients died of primary disease 3 to 36 months after surgery, while all C-SPN patients were alive without disease. Genetic studies have shown that all analyzed HG-SPNs have CTNNB1 mutations. Two HG-SPN cases showed RB1 mutations with altered immunohistochemical findings for RB1 and p16. Two HG-SPN cases had TP53 mutation and/or p53 overexpression. In conclusion, HG-SPNs show distinct malignant features and some genetic alterations that differ from C-SPNs, indicating the importance of differentiating between these 2 subtypes.

Abstract
CONTEXT.— Endocervical adenocarcinoma is divided into human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated (HPVA) and HPV-independent (HPVI) in the 5h edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) tumor classification launched in 2020. However, the validity of the morphological criteria used for biopsy specimens in real-world practice remains undetermined. OBJECTIVE.— To validate the utility of the 5th edition of the WHO classification for biopsy samples, focusing on its diagnostic criteria with the aid of ancillary studies. DESIGN.— We retrieved 217 cases of endocervical adenocarcinoma from 6 institutions, in which glass slides of both biopsy and resection specimens were available for review. Concordance between the biopsy and resection specimen diagnoses was evaluated. For discordant diagnoses, an algorithmic approach with ancillary studies proposed by the international group was applied to confirm their utility to improve the accuracy of biopsy diagnosis. RESULTS.— The biopsy diagnosis matched the resection specimen diagnosis in 197 cases (concordance rate, 91%; κ = 0.75). The concordance rate was significantly higher for HPVA than HPVI (95% versus 81%, P = .001). There were no significant differences in the proportions of HPVA and HPVI or the accuracy of biopsy diagnosis between the participating institutions. All 19 discordant cases with unstained glass slides available were accurately recategorized as HPVA or HPVI using HPV in situ hybridization; p16 immunohistochemistry was positive in 3 of 9 cases of gastric-type HPVI that were negative by in situ hybridization. CONCLUSIONS.— The 5th edition of the WHO criteria for biopsy diagnosis of endocervical adenocarcinoma distinguishes HPVA from HPVI well when ancillary studies are adequately applied.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We encountered a cervical lymphoepithelial carcinoma (LEC) possessing a predominantly solid architecture with deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) and loss of expression of the SWI/SNF (SWItch/Sucrose Non-Fermentable) chromatin remodeling complex subunit. This is the first case report of LEC with dMMR and loss of SWI/SNF complex subunit. CASE PRESENTATION A 34-year-old woman presented at our hospital with menstrual irregularities and abnormal vaginal bleeding. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an exophytic mass in the posterior uterine cervix. Biopsy specimens confirmed squamous cell carcinoma with a 2018 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) uterine cervical cancer stage of IB2. In a subsequent conization specimen, the tumor appeared exophytic. Microscopically, the tumor cells formed a predominant solid architecture. Abundant lymphocytic infiltration was observed. The pathological diagnosis indicated human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated squamous cell carcinoma with LEC pattern and pT1b2. Immunohistochemically, high programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression, dMMR, and loss of the switch/sucrose non-fermentable family-related, matrix-associated, actin-dependent regulator of chromatin subfamily member 4 (SMARCA4)/BRG1, an SWI/SNF complex subunit, were observed. The patient underwent a radical hysterectomy and is alive without disease one year and five months later. Our analysis of five additional LEC cases revealed a consistent association with high-risk HPV and elevated PD-L1 expression. In addition to the present case, another patient exhibited dMMR. The SWI/SNF complex was retained except in the present case. The prognosis was favorable in all cases. CONCLUSIONS This unique case of LEC with dMMR suggests a distinct clinical entity with potential immunotherapy implications. Analysis of the other five LEC cases revealed that LEC was immune hot, and immune checkpoint inhibitors may be effective. The two dMMR cases showed loss of MLH1 and PMS2 expressions, and prominently high tumor PD-L1 expression. In those cases, dMMR might have contributed to the morphological characteristics of LEC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fluoropyrimidine-based postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy is globally recommended for high-risk stage II and stage III colon cancer. However, adjuvant chemotherapy is often associated with severe adverse events and is not highly effective in preventing recurrence. Therefore, discovery of novel molecular biomarkers of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy to identify patients at increased risk of recurrent colorectal cancer is warranted. Autophagy (including mitophagy) is activated under chemotherapy-induced stress and contributes to chemotherapy resistance. Expression of autophagy-related genes and their single-nucleotide polymorphisms are reported to be effective predictors of chemotherapy response in some cancers. Our goal was to evaluate the relationship between single-nucleotide variants of autophagy-related genes and recurrence rates in order to identify novel biomarkers that predict the effect of adjuvant chemotherapy in colorectal cancer. METHODS We analyzed surgical or biopsy specimens from 84 patients who underwent radical surgery followed by fluoropyrimidine-based adjuvant chemotherapy at Saitama Medical University International Medical Center between January and December 2016. Using targeted enrichment sequencing, we identified single-nucleotide variants and insertions/deletions in 50 genes, including autophagy-related genes, and examined their association with colorectal cancer recurrence rates. RESULTS We detected 560 single-nucleotide variants and insertions/deletions in the target region. The results of Fisher's exact test indicated that the recurrence rate of colorectal cancer after adjuvant chemotherapy was significantly lower in patients with the single-nucleotide variants (c.1018G > A [p < 0.005] or c.1562A > C [p < 0.01]) of the mitophagy-related gene PTEN-induced kinase 1. CONCLUSIONS The two single-nucleotide variants of PINK1 gene may be biomarkers of non-recurrence in colorectal cancer patients who received postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been identified as one of the resistant mechanisms to epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs). However, the relationship between the efficacy of osimertinib and protein expression of VEGF family members in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring EGFR mutations remains unclear. METHODS A total of 76 patients with advanced NSCLC with EGFR major mutations (del19 or L858R) receiving first-line osimertinib were eligible as the osimertinib (Osi) group, whereas 43 patients receiving first- or second-generation EGFR-TKIs were compared with the control group. The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) and vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C) in the tumor specimens was analyzed using immunohistochemistry. RESULTS VEGFR2 and VEGF-C were highly expressed in 65.8% and 51.3% of patients, respectively, in the Osi group, and 69.7% and 76.7%, respectively, in the control group. High VEGFR2 and VEGF-C levels were significantly associated with poor performance status (PS) and female sex, respectively. In the Osi group, patients with co-high expression of VEGFR2 and VEGF-C showed significantly worse progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) than those without co-high expression. In del19, VEGFR2 was a significant predictor of PFS and OS and independent predictor of OS in multivariate analysis. In L858R, co-high expression of VEGFR2 and VEGF-C was identified as a significant predictor of PFS and OS and independent predictor of PFS. CONCLUSION VEGFR2 and VEGF-C are highly expressed in EGFR-mutant NSCLC cells. Increased expression of VEGFR2 was identified as a significant prognostic factor in patients with EGFR del19 mutation who received osimertinib, whereas co-high expression of VEGFR2 and VEGF-C was a significant predictor for those with EGFR L858R mutation.

Abstract
Vimentin is a stable mesenchymal immunohistochemical marker and is widely recognized as a major marker of mesenchymal tumors. The purpose of the present study was to investigate if the vimentin expression status might serve as a significant predictor of outcomes in patients with invasive breast carcinoma of no special type (IBC-NST) and to investigate, by comprehensive RNA sequencing analyses, the mechanisms involved in the heightened malignant potential of vimentin-positive IBC-NSTs. This study, conducted using the data of 855 patients with IBC-NST, clearly identified vimentin expression status as a very important independent biological parameter for accurately predicting the outcomes in patients with IBC-NST. RNA sequence analyses clearly demonstrated significant upregulation of coding RNAs known to be closely associated with cell proliferation or cellular senescence, and significant downregulation of coding RNAs known to be closely associated with transmembrane transport in vimentin-positive IBC-NSTs. We conclude that vimentin-positive IBC-NSTs show heightened malignant biological characteristics, possibly attributable to the upregulation of RNAs closely associated with proliferative activity and cellular senescence, and downregulation of RNAs closely associated with transmembrane transport in IBC-NSTs.

Abstract
Subjecting a physical system to extreme conditions is one of the means often used to obtain a better understanding and deeper insight into its organization and structure. In the case of the atomic nucleus, one such approach is to investigate isotopes that have very different neutron-to-proton (N/Z) ratios than in stable nuclei. Light, neutron-rich isotopes exhibit the most asymmetric N/Z ratios and those lying beyond the limits of binding, which undergo spontaneous neutron emission and exist only as very short-lived resonances (about 10-21 s), provide the most stringent tests of modern nuclear-structure theories. Here we report on the first observation of 28O and 27O through their decay into 24O and four and three neutrons, respectively. The 28O nucleus is of particular interest as, with the Z = 8 and N = 20 magic numbers1,2, it is expected in the standard shell-model picture of nuclear structure to be one of a relatively small number of so-called 'doubly magic' nuclei. Both 27O and 28O were found to exist as narrow, low-lying resonances and their decay energies are compared here to the results of sophisticated theoretical modelling, including a large-scale shell-model calculation and a newly developed statistical approach. In both cases, the underlying nuclear interactions were derived from effective field theories of quantum chromodynamics. Finally, it is shown that the cross-section for the production of 28O from a 29F beam is consistent with it not exhibiting a closed N = 20 shell structure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In recent years, an increase in oral cancer among elderly nonsmokers has been noted. The aim of this study was to identify novel oncogenes in oral cancer in older nonsmokers. MATERIAL AND METHODS Whole-exome sequencing (WES) data from 324 oral cancer patients were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas. Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and insertions/deletions (INDELs) were extracted from the WES data of older patients. Fisher's exact test was performed to determine the specificity of variants in these genes. Finally, SNVs and INDELs were identified by target enrichment sequencing. RESULTS Gene ontology analysis of 112 genes with significant SNVs or INDELs in nonsmokers revealed that nonsynonymous SNVs in HECTD4 were significantly more frequent in nonsmokers than in smokers by target enrichment sequencing (p = .02). CONCLUSIONS Further investigation of the function of HECTD4 variants as oncogenes in older nonsmokers is warranted.

Abstract
EPN-ZFTA is a rare brain tumor where prognostic factors remain unclear and no effective immunotherapy or chemotherapy is currently available. Therefore, this study investigated its clinicopathological features, evaluated the utility of MTAP and p16 IHC as surrogate markers of CDKN2A alterations, and characterized the immune microenvironment of EPN-ZFTA. Thirty surgically removed brain tumors, including 10 EPN-ZFTA, were subjected to IHC. MLPA was performed for CDKN2A HD in 20 ependymal tumors, including EPN-ZFTA. The 5-years OS and PFS of EPN-ZFTA were 90% and 60%, respectively. CDKN2A HD was detected in two cases of EPN-ZFTA; these cases were immunohistochemically negative for both MTAP and p16 and recurred earlier after surgery. As for the immune microenvironment of EPN-ZFTA, B7-H3, but not PD-L1, was positive in all cases of EPN-ZFTA; Iba-1-positive or CD204-positive macrophages were large, while infiltrating lymphocytes were small, in number in EPN-ZFTA. Collectively, these results indicate the potential of MTAP and p16 IHC as useful surrogate markers of CDKN2A HD in EPN-ZFTA, and tumor-associated macrophages, including the M2 type, may contribute to its immune microenvironment. Furthermore, the expression of B7-H3 in EPN-ZFTA may indicate the usefulness of B7-H3 as a target of immune checkpoint chemotherapy for EPN-ZFTA via B7-H3 pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Histological analysis has revealed the need for new treatment techniques for epithelial ovarian cancer. Immune checkpoint inhibitors may be a new therapeutic strategy for ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC). Lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG-3), an immune checkpoint, is a poor prognostic factor and a new therapeutic target for several malignancies. In this study, we demonstrated the correlation between LAG-3 expression and the clinicopathological features of OCCC. We evaluated LAG-3 expression in tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) via immunohistochemical analysis using tissue microarrays containing surgically resected specimens from 171 patients with OCCC. RESULTS The number of LAG-3-positive cases was 48 (28.1%), whereas the number of LAG-3-negative cases was 123 (71.9%). LAG-3 expression significantly increased in patients with advanced stages (P = 0.036) and recurrence (P = 0.012); however, its expression did not correlate with age (P = 0.613), residual tumor (P = 0.156), or death (P = 0.086). Using the Kaplan - Meier method, LAG-3 expression was found to be correlated with poor overall survival (P = 0.020) and progression-free survival (P = 0.019). Multivariate analysis revealed LAG-3 expression (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.86; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.00 - 3.44, P = 0.049) and residual tumor (HR = 9.71; 95% CI, 5.13 - 18.52, P < 0.001) as independent prognostic factors. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated that LAG-3 expression in patients with OCCC may be a useful biomarker for the prognosis of OCCC and could serve as a new therapeutic target.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE Non-luminal type breast cancer patients with pathological complete response (pCR) by neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) usually have a good prognosis, but occasionally recurrence occurs. CASE PRESENTATION A 61-year-old woman was diagnosed with breast cancer T2N2aM0 stage IIIA and its intrinsic type was non-luminal type. After NAC, the patient achieved pCR and underwent breast-conserving surgery and axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). Radiotherapy and trastuzumab of one-year duration was added. However, six years and two months later, local recurrence and contralateral axillary lymph node (CLALN) metastasis were identified. After resection, anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) therapy was done, however, six months after operation, purpura was observed on the right chest and tended to increase. One and a half years after re-operation, dermal lymphatic invasion (DLI) recurrence without clinical inflammatory signs was diagnosed. A skin resection was performed >1.5 cm away from the purpura, and the surgical margins were negative but four months later, a recurrence re-emerged. CLINICAL DISCUSSION CLALN metastasis is considered distant metastasis based on the current TNM classification. However, as previous ALND or radiotherapy can change lymphatic flow, the resulting CLALN may not be distant metastasis. DLI recurrence without clinical inflammatory signs is likely to be resistant to anti-HER2 even in non-luminal type, and even a 2-cm margin for skin surgical lines may result in positive margins. CONCLUSION There are cases where CLALN after ALND should also be considered possible metastasis. In DLI recurrence, the skin excision margin line should be set very generously.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Uterine carcinosarcoma (UCS), a subtype of endometrial carcinoma, is a rare and aggressive cancer with a poor prognosis. High clinical efficacy of trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) in HER2-expressing UCS was recently reported in phase 2 trial (STATICE trial). We performed a co-clinical study of T-DXd using patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models of participants in the STATICE trial. PATIENTS AND METHODS Tumor specimens were resected during primary surgery or biopsied at recurrence from patients with UCS and transplanted into immunodeficient mice. Seven UCS-PDXs from six patients were established and HER2, estrogen receptor (ER), and p53 expression in PDX and the original tumor was assessed. Drug efficacy tests were performed using six of the seven PDXs. Of the six UCS-PDXs tested, two were derived from patients enrolled in the STATICE trial. RESULTS The histopathological characteristics of the six PDXs were well-conserved from the original tumors. HER2 expression was 1+ in all PDXs, and ER and p53 expression was almost similar to that in the original tumors. Remarkable tumor shrinkage after T-DXd administration was observed in four out of the six PDXs (67%), comparable to the response rate (70%) of HER2 1+ patients in the STATICE trial. Two patients enrolled in the STATICE trial showed partial response as the best response, and the clinical effect was well-replicated with marked tumor shrinkage. CONCLUSION We successfully performed a co-clinical study of T-DXd in HER2-expressing UCS, along with the STATICE trial. Our PDX models can predict clinical efficacy and serve as an effective preclinical evaluation platform.

Abstract
BACKGROUND BCOR CCNB3 sarcoma is a rare mesenchymal tumor that was formerly included in the undifferentiated/unclassified sarcoma group and was recently reclassified as one of undifferentiated small round cell sarcomas with a genetically distinct subtype in the WHO 2020 classification. Because of its rarity, still not much is known, especially about its clinical features. CASE REPORT A 15-year-old boy presented with almost 1-year intermittent thigh pain. On the first visit, a pathologic fracture of the femur and a big mass expanding through the femoral cortex with lobular shape and homogenous appearance were recognized on radiography and magnetic resonance imaging. Plain radiography, which was taken 6 months before at a local clinic, showed an expansion and thickening of the right proximal femoral shaft. Biopsy specimen of the lesion revealed a proliferation of round to spindle tumor cells with diffuse and strong immunohistochemical nuclear positivity for BCOR and CCNB3. Under the diagnosis of BCOR::CCNB3 sarcoma of the femur, a chemotherapy based on a protocol of Ewing sarcoma, followed by a wide resection and total femoral replacement surgery, were conducted. The effect of chemotherapy was favorable, showing no microscopic residual tumor. Although postoperative chemotherapy was not completed because of a minor infection detected on the surgical site, the patient was doing well, without any recurrence, for 26 months. CONCLUSIONS BCOR CCNB3 sarcoma of the bone is a quite rare tumor with much lower incidence than Ewing sarcoma. Notable clinical characteristics of the current case were a 1-year-long symptomatic period and homogenous appearance on MRI.

Abstract
Adenocarcinomas with clear cell morphology may be associated with elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein levels in various organs. We report the case of an alpha-fetoprotein-producing cervical adenocarcinoma with clear cell morphology and compare it immunohistochemically, molecularly, and virologically with cervical clear cell carcinoma, gastric-type mucinous carcinoma, and ovarian clear cell carcinoma. A 51-year-old Japanese woman was initially diagnosed with cervical clear cell carcinoma. The tumor was resistant to standard surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Serum carcinoembryonic antigen and alpha-fetoprotein were elevated. The tumor was immunohistochemically positive for alpha-fetoprotein, human chorionic gonadotropin, cytokeratin 20, spalt-like transcription factor 4, glypican 3, MUC6, and HIK1083. Gene panel testing revealed CCNE1 amplification, CDKN2A loss, and TP53 R282W. We compared the present case with 120 ovarian clear cell carcinoma cases using a tissue microarray. Only one case (0.8%) showed very limited immunohistochemical positivity for alpha-fetoprotein. Of the 54 cases in which serum carcinoembryonic antigen was measured, only one (1.9%) was elevated (19.9 ng/mL). We diagnosed the case as alpha-fetoprotein-producing cervical gastric-type mucinous carcinoma with enteroblastic differentiation. In conclusion, alpha-fetoprotein-producing cervical adenocarcinoma is a rare but aggressive tumor. Clinicians and pathologists should be aware of this unfamiliar tumor, its diagnostic clues, prognostic markers, and treatment strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The depth of invasion (DOI) of tongue squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is an important prognostic factor. The definition is clear for pathological DOI (pDOI), but the treatment strategy is determined by the preoperative clinical DOI (cDOI). Few studies have investigated the difference between these DOIs. The purpose of this study was to obtain the correlation equation between cDOI and pDOI for Stage I/II tongue SCC and to consider the points to be noted in actual clinical practice. METHODS In this retrospective study, 58 patients with clinical stage I/II tongue SCC were included. Correlations between cDOI and pDOI were obtained for all 58 cases, as well as for 39 cases which excluded superficial and exophytic lesions. RESULTS The overall cDOI and pDOI median values were 8.0 and 5.5 mm, respectively; the 2.5 mm reduction was significant (p < 0.01). The correlation equation was pDOI = 0.81 × cDOI-0.23 (r = 0.73). Furthermore, re-analysis of the 39 cases revealed that pDOI = 0.84 × cDOI-0.37 (r = 0.62). Hence, a derived equation pDOI = 0.84 × (cDOI-0.44) was obtained to predict pDOI from cDOI. CONCLUSIONS This study indicated that it is necessary to consider contraction due to specimen fixation by subtracting the thickness of the mucosal epithelium. Clinical T1 cases with a cDOI of 5 mm or less had a pDOI of 4 mm or less, and it would be expected to have low positive rate of neck lymph node metastasis.

Abstract
AIM Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in the tumor and stroma are expected to accurately predict the efficacy of programmed death-1 (PD-1) blockade therapy. However, little is known about the prognostic significance of TILs in first-line PD-1 therapy. We assessed TILs in patients with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with pembrolizumab in the palliative setting. METHODS Multiplex immunohistochemistry staining of TILs (CD4, CD8, Foxp3, and PD-1) and immunohistochemical staining of CK and PD-L1 in the tumor and stroma was performed in tumor specimens of 107 NSCLC patients and correlated with clinical outcomes, as a single-center retrospective study. TILs and programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) were assessed on biopsies (N = 93) or surgical resections (N = 14) before first-line pembrolizumab. RESULTS A low number of stromal CD4 TILs were significantly associated with bone metastasis and poor performance status (PS). The median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were significantly higher in patients with a high number of stromal CD4 TILs (336 days and 731 days, respectively) than in those with low infiltration (204 days and 333 days, respectively). Patients with a high number of intratumoral CD8 TILs (731 days) yielded significantly better OS than those with low infiltration (333 days), but not for PFS. Multivariate analysis confirmed that stromal CD4 TILs were independent predictors of PFS, but not OS. Furthermore, intratumoral CD8 TILs were independent predictors of better OS. In the survival analysis of key subgroups, stromal CD4 TILs were identified as significant predictors of survival in patients with non-adenocarcinomatous histology and PD-L1 ≥ 50%. CONCLUSION Stromal CD4 TILs were identified as a significant marker for predicting the PFS after pembrolizumab therapy, especially in patients with non-adenocarcinoma and high PD-L1 expression. In addition, intratumoral CD8 TILs were identified as significant predictors of OS.

Abstract
The coincidence of acute T-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma, NOS (T-ALL/LBL), and peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is unusual, and there have only been a few cases of their metachronous occurrence. In these cases, PTCLs emerged as recurrence after primary therapy for primary T-ALL, were the rare gamma/delta type, and uncommonly involved skin for T-ALL/LBL. We herein report the first case of de novo T-LBL that coincided with cutaneous gamma/delta PTCL before primary therapy. A 70-year-old man presented with systemic lymphadenopathy. Lymph node biopsy revealed a massive proliferation of lymphoblastoid cells; immunohistochemically, they were positive for TdT/CD1a/CD99, and cytoplasmic CD3ε, CD4, and CD8 and were negative for T-cell receptor (TCR) βf-1. A few TCRδ-positive cells were intermingled. Atypically, TIA was focally positive, whereas granzyme/perforin was negative. Multiple papules and plaques emerged on the trunk before the initiation of treatment for T-LBL. Skin biopsy revealed a massive proliferation of medium-to-large atypical lymphoid cells that were TdT/CD1a-negative mature T-cells; they were negative for TCRβf1 and CD4, and positive for TCRδ, CD5, CD8, CD56, TIA, granzyme B, and perforin. A conventional PCR analysis of TCRG showed no identical clonal band between the two tumors. The skin lesion was diagnosed as cutaneous gamma/delta T-cell lymphoma. Whether the lesion was primary or a transformation of T-LBL was unclear. After treating with reduced hyper-CVAD/MA targeting T-LBL, molecular complete remission was achieved. When an uncommon cutaneous lesion emerges in the course of T-ALL/LBL, both need to be evaluated pathologically and genetically, whether de novo or recurrent, assuming the possibility of coincident gamma/delta PTCL.

Abstract
The one-neutron knockout from ^{52}Ca in inverse kinematics onto a proton target was performed at ∼230 MeV/nucleon combined with prompt γ spectroscopy. Exclusive quasifree scattering cross sections to bound states in ^{51}Ca and the momentum distributions corresponding to the removal of 1f_{7/2} and 2p_{3/2} neutrons were measured. The cross sections, interpreted within the distorted-wave impulse approximation reaction framework, are consistent with a shell closure at the neutron number N=32, found as strong as at N=28 and N=34 in Ca isotopes from the same observables. The analysis of the momentum distributions leads to a difference of the root-mean-square radii of the neutron 1f_{7/2} and 2p_{3/2} orbitals of 0.61(23) fm, in agreement with the modified-shell-model prediction of 0.7 fm suggesting that the large root-mean-square radius of the 2p_{3/2} orbital in neutron-rich Ca isotopes is responsible for the unexpected linear increase of the charge radius with the neutron number.

Abstract
Nivolumab is an immune-checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) that can induce unique treatment-related toxicities, such as immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Myocarditis is a serious irAE with an incidence between 0.06% and 1.14%. Although the peak onset of irAE is generally within three months from the start of treatment, we experienced an autopsy case of late-onset fulminant myocarditis caused by nivolumab in Epstein Barr virus-associated gastric cancer. Pathological complete remission of the primary lesion was confirmed by the autopsy. We should consider possible complications of cardiac irAEs, especially fulminant myocarditis, even beyond three months after starting ICI therapy.

Abstract
In advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC), approximately 20% of patients respond to pembrolizumab, an anti-programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) antibody. Herein, we reported a single case of UC showing coexistence of sarcomatoid subtype and glandular differentiation. Notably, only glandular differentiation was recurrent, probably progressive, and metastatic, which showed complete response to pembrolizumab. An 80-year-old woman presented with hematuria and dysuria, and an intra-vesical tumor was detected on ultrasound. Transurethral resections (TUR) were performed three times. In the first TUR, a sub-pedunculated tumor and a flat lesion were closely but independently located. Pathologically, the sub-pedunculated tumor was an invasive UC, sarcomatoid subtype. Meanwhile, the flat lesion was invasive UC with glandular differentiation. Despite the second and the additional TUR, the tumor was growing and a lymph node metastasis was detected. The third TUR specimen showed UC with glandular differentiation, and a positive PD-L1 expression as well as high density CD8-positive lymphocytic cells infiltration were observed. Pembrolizumab was administered for four courses after terminating the chemotherapy. The CT scan revealed shrinkage of both primary tumor and metastases. Cystectomy and lymph nodes dissection were performed, and no residual carcinoma was detected. The therapeutic effect was regarded as pathological complete response. Pembrolizumab could be effective for special subtype or divergent differentiation of UC, particularly in an event of an 'immune hot' tumor.

Abstract
The histological diagnosis of peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) is often challenging. Flow cytometry (FCM) sometimes shows the loss of pan-T-cell markers for PTCLs, suggesting the neoplastic nature of these cells. Immunohistochemically, the total loss of pan-T-cell markers has been demonstrated in PTCLs. Furthermore, except for the total loss, the aberrant immunohistochemical expressions of pan-T-cell markers have also been empirically observed in PTCLs, but the details remain unexamined. Therefore, the present study semi-quantitatively evaluated the aberrant expression of cytoplasmic CD3ε (cCD3ε), the most common immunohistochemical pan-T-cell marker, in 91 PTCL cases. The expressions of the other CD3 molecules, CD3δ, CD3γ, and CD3ζ were also examined. Frequencies of the total immunohistochemical loss of CD3 molecules and loss of surface CD3ε (sCD3ε) in FCM were analyzed for comparison. The results showed atypical, aberrant expression patterns for immunohistochemical CD3 molecules: perinuclear, cytoplasmic, membranous, and partial negative. The frequency of each molecule was as follows: cCD3ε 40.7 %, CD3δ 26.4 %, CD3γ 53.8 %, and CD3ζ 54.9 %, especially the latter two showed high frequency in peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified, angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, and adult T-cell lymphoma/leukemia. Immunohistochemical total loss was less than aberrant expression in all CD3 molecules, with the frequency of cCD3ε being the lowest (6.6 %). The loss of sCD3ε in FCM was observed in 43.3 % of cases, with a similar frequency to the aberrant expression of cCD3ε. In conclusion, the aberrant immunohistochemical expression of cCD3ε was a useful finding as is sCD3ε loss in FCM, but CD3γ and CD3ζ were more useful, facilitating the diagnosis of PTCLs.

Abstract
AIM Hamartomas in the pancreas are rare and are often histologically and morphologically similar to solitary fibrous tumours (SFTs). We examined the differences between hamartomas and SFTs at the molecular level. METHODS AND RESULTS Thirteen patients histopathologically diagnosed with pancreatic hamartoma were included in the study. We also performed STAT6 immunohistochemistry (IHC), which is used in the diagnosis of SFT. Furthermore, for the three cases in which RNA was extracted, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction to search for NAB2-STAT6 fusions was used. Macroscopically, 13 patients had well-demarcated tumour lesions. Histologically, no islets of Langerhans were observed in the lesions, acinar tissue and ducts were unevenly distributed, and elastic fibres were not observed around the ducts by Elastica Van Gieson staining. One case contained a lipomatous hamartoma composed mainly of adipose tissue. Seven of the 13 cases demonstrated expression of STAT6 in the nuclei of intervening spindle cells. NAB2-STAT6 fusions were observed in two of the three cases in which RNA was extracted. These two cases also demonstrated STAT6 expression in spindle cells using STAT6 IHC. In one case of lipomatous hamartoma, we did not confirm NAB2-STAT6 fusion or STAT6 expression in STAT6 IHC. CONCLUSION Of the 13 patients histopathologically diagnosed with hamartoma, two demonstrated NAB2-STAT6 fusions, suggesting the existence of pancreatic hamartomas with molecular-level components identical to those of SFT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are effective in some cancer patients; however, they may show no efficacy in others. Predictive biomarkers are crucial for appropriately selecting the patients who receive ICI therapy. This study aimed to clarify the predictors of disease progression in urothelial carcinoma (UC) patients treated with an ICI, pembrolizumab. METHODS We analyzed the response patterns of 50 UC patients who were treated with pembrolizumab, as well as the association between survival and clinicopathological factors. Clinical factors included age, sex, body mass index, clinical courses, laboratory data, metastases, and adverse events. Pathological factors included special variant, squamous differentiation, programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression, CD8-positive lymphocytes density, and CDKN2A/p16 homozygous deletion. RESULTS During pembrolizumab treatment, four (8%), 11 (22%), and eight (16%) patients achieved the best-case scenarios of complete response, partial response, and stable disease, respectively. Twenty-seven patients (54%) showed progressive disease. In this study, younger age, lower preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and positive PD-L1 expression were significantly correlated with longer progression-free survival and overall survival. Moreover, lower NLR and positive PD-L1 expression were independently associated with longer OS in multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS Based on our observations, lower NLR and positive PD-L1 expression may be independent favorable prognostic markers in UC patients treated with pembrolizumab. These results suggest that both host and tumor status can reflect the effectiveness of pembrolizumab among patients with UC.

Abstract
BackgroundThe management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been transformed by the use of molecular targeted therapies. Early treatment and treat-to-target approach leads to good clinical response and remission (responders), but not in all patients.Environmental factors including diet contribute to the development, activity and severity of RA. Evidence from clinical trials suggested that dietary interventions, such as Mediterranean diet or supplementation with fish oil rich in n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA), have positive effects on RA. Japanese and Mediterranean diets are associated with longevity and characterized by high fish intake. Clinical studies have identified predictors of treatment response in individual RA patients, however, the influence of fish consumption on treatment response in RA patients treated with targeted therapies has not been elucidated.ObjectivesTo assess whether fish consumption is associated with a good response to targeted therapies in RA patients with Japanese and Mediterranean dietary patterns.MethodsThe study is a collaborative international cross-sectional retrospective study enrolling patients with RA on treatment with biologics or JAK inhibitors attending to Hokkaido University Hospital, Japan or Hospital Virgen de las Nieves, Spain.Enrolled patients were asked to complete a brief-type self-administered diet history questionnaire (BDHQ) and a detailed fish frequency questionnaire (DFFQ) referring to consumption frequency in the previous month. At study entry, alcohol consumption, tobacco habits, educational level and employment status were recorded and RA disease activity evaluated by qualified rheumatologists. Demographic, clinical/laboratory data were retrospectively extracted from the medical records.By December 2021, 279 patients (Japan 217, Spain 62) returned the questionnaires. A preliminary analysis was carried out with the first 58 Japanese patients in which all clinical and laboratory data could be collected. A descriptive analysis was performed and the relative risks approximated by odds ratios.ResultsFifty-eight Japanese RA patients, 45 females, median age at entry 66 yrs [IQR 54-73], median disease duration 11yrs [IQR 7-20] were included in this analysis. Fifty-three (93%) of patients were on biologic therapies and four (7%) on JAK inhibitors with a median treatment duration of 4.5 yrs [IQR 1-7]. Concomitant treatment with conventional DMARDS and glucocorticoids were reported in 69% and 48% of patients, respectively. Forty-two (72%) patients were responders to treatment defined as DASESR ≦3.2. Another systemic autoimmune disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia or gout history were present in 29%, 29%, 9%, 33% and 10% of patients, respectively.All patients had consumption of fish in the last month and an intake of n3-PUFA rich fish (fatty fish) was indicated by 82% (<1 time/week 34%, ≧ 1 time/week 48%).The patients’ fatty and non-fatty fish intake scores were calculated with a mathematical formula based on the intake of each of the fish included in the DFFQ and number of responses. In the group of high fatty fish score patients (≧ 1 time/week) 94% were responders to treatment vs. 6% non-responders, [OR 8.75, CI [1.0-73.54, p= 0.022] while only 63% of patients in the high non-fatty fish score group respond to the treatment.ConclusionFatty fish intake associated with a good response to treatment in patients receiving targeted therapies, suggesting that fish consumption may have some beneficial effects on RA treatment.ReferencesThere is no reference.AcknowledgementsAcknowledgements to Ms. Y.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to propose prognostic factors and optimal treatment strategies by analyzing the clinicopathological features and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression. We analyzed 31 patients diagnosed with uterine or ovarian melanoma between 1997 and 2017 in the Kansai Clinical Oncology Group/Intergroup. Twenty-four and seven patients with cervical and ovarian melanomas were included, respectively. Immune checkpoint inhibitors were used in seven patients, and the objective response rate was 40%. Notably, two patients with objective responses had a high PD-L1 expression. Ten and four patients with cervical and ovarian melanomas, respectively, had high PD-L1 immunohistochemical expressions. Multivariate analysis revealed that tumor stage was an independent prognostic factor for progression-free survival in patients with cervical melanomas. In patients with ovarian melanomas, the 1-year cumulative progression-free and overall survival rates were 0 and 29%, respectively. Kaplan-Meier analyses revealed that age <60 years was associated with poorer progression-free and overall survivals in patients with ovarian melanomas. In patients with cervical melanomas, the 1-, 3-, and 5-year cumulative overall survival rates were 53, 32, and 16%, respectively. Histological atypia was associated with a poorer progression-free survival, but there was no difference in survival between patients who underwent radical hysterectomy and those who did not. The present study is a large cohort study of uterine and ovarian melanomas, which are aggressive tumors with a significantly poor prognosis, even after standard surgery and adjuvant therapy. The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors is a promising and effective treatment option.

Abstract
Background Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) is a high‐grade salivary malignancy that frequently occurs as the carcinomatous component of carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma. We herein examined the clinical factors affecting outcomes in a large cohort of SDC. Methods We selected 304 SDC cases and investigated clinical characteristics and the factors affecting outcomes. Results The median age of the cases examined was 68 years, the most common primary site was the parotid gland (238 cases), and there was a male predominance (M/F = 5:1). Outcomes were significantly worse when the primary tumor site was the minor salivary glands (SG) than when it was the major SG. Outcomes were also significantly worse in pN(+) cases (161 cases) than in pN0 cases, particularly those with a metastatic lymph node number ≥11. The cumulative incidence of relapse and distant metastases was significantly higher in stage IV cases than in stage 0–III cases. Conclusions The absolute number of lymph node metastases, higher stages, and the minor SG as the primary tumor site were identified as factors affecting the outcome of SDC.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic utility of conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based characteristics and a texture analysis (TA) for discriminating between ovarian thecoma-fibroma groups (OTFGs) and ovarian granulosa cell tumors (OGCTs). Methods This retrospective multicenter study enrolled 52 patients with 32 OGCTs and 21 OTFGs, which were dissected and pathologically diagnosed between January 2008 and December 2019. MRI-based features (MBFs) and texture features (TFs) were evaluated and compared between OTFGs and OGCTs. A least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis was performed to select features and construct the discriminating model. ROC analyses were conducted on MBFs, TFs, and their combination to discriminate between the two diseases. Results We selected 3 features with the highest absolute value of the LASSO regression coefficient for each model: the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), peripheral cystic area, and contrast enhancement in the venous phase (VCE) for the MRI-based model; the 10th percentile, difference variance, and maximal correlation coefficient for the TA-based model; and ADC, VCE, and the difference variance for the combination model. The areas under the curves of the constructed models were 0.938, 0.817, and 0.941, respectively. The diagnostic performance of the MRI-based and combination models was similar (p = 0.38), but significantly better than that of the TA-based model (p < 0.05). Conclusions The conventional MRI-based analysis has potential as a method to differentiate OTFGs from OGCTs. TA did not appear to be of any additional benefit. Further studies are needed on the use of these methods for a preoperative differential diagnosis of these two diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM CheckMate 214 study revealed that nivolumab plus ipilimumab combination therapy showed a strong and durable effect compared to sunitinib for patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (aRCC). Most of the patients underwent previous nephrectomy before systemic treatment. We retrospectively investigated the clinical outcomes of Japanese patients treated with cytoreductive nephrectomy following nivolumab plus ipilimumab for aRCC. PATIENTS AND METHODS Seventy-nine patients were treated with systemic therapy for aRCC between October 2018 and August 2021 at the Saitama Medical University International Medical Center. Ten of 61 patients treated with nivolumab plus ipilimumab underwent cytoreductive nephrectomy after the combined immunotherapy. RESULTS The median overall survival and progression-free survival were 24.3 and 15.9 months, respectively. The objective response rate was 50.8%; 9.8% of patients had a complete response, and the median time to objective response was 3.2 (range=1.3-19.7) months. The estimated percentage of patients who sustained an objective response at 30 months was 73.0%. Twenty-three patients (74%) in the complete or partial response (CR/PR) group, 11 patients (52%) in the stable disease (SD) group, and two patients (22%) in the progressive disease (PD) group had immune-related adverse events of grade 3 or higher, respectively. For all 10 patients, cytoreductive nephrectomy following nivolumab plus ipilimumab treatment were completed safely. Three patients achieved a pathological complete response without viable cancer cells. Only two patients had residual lesions on images after deferred cytoreductive nephrectomy; the remaining patients achieved radiological CR. CONCLUSION Cytoreductive nephrectomy after nivolumab plus ipilimumab treatment could be useful in a limited number of cases, possibly resulting in curative nephrectomy due to the durable therapeutic effect of immunotherapy.

Abstract
Pineal parenchymal tumors (PPTs) are clinically rare and a biopsy is often required for a definitive diagnosis. To improve the accuracy of histological assessment of PPTs, we examined the proliferative capacity of PPT cells and investigated DICER1 expression and KBTBD4 mutations. This study included 19 cases of PPTs [3 pineocytomas (PCs), 10 PPTs of intermediate differentiation (PPTID), and 6 pineoblastomas (PBs)]. Immunohistochemistry for Ki-67, PHH3, and DICER1, as well as Sanger sequencing analysis for KBTBD4 mutations, was performed using formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue specimens that were resected during surgery. Tumor cell proliferation was quantified using an image analysis software. For the PHH3 and MIB-1 indices, a significant difference was observed between the PPTIDs and PBs (P < 0.05). Loss of DICER1 was not specific for PB; 0/3 PCs (0.0%), 2/9 PPTIDs (22.2%), and 2/4 PBs (50.0%). KBTBD4 mutations were detected in 1/3 PCs (33.3%), 6/9 PPTIDs (66.7%), and 0/4 PBs (0.0%). Thus, combined application of the proliferative marker index and KBTBD4 mutation analysis may be useful for the differential diagnosis of PPTs. Furthermore, detection of KBTBD4 mutations using Sanger sequencing analysis may support the diagnosis of PPTID.

Abstract
Tumor budding grade is a very useful histological prognostic indicator for colorectal cancer patients. Recently, it has been also reported as a significant prognostic indicator in invasive breast carcinoma patients. Our group and others have previously reported that the presence of a fibrotic focus in the tumor is a very useful histological finding for accurately predicting the prognosis in patients with invasive carcinoma of no special type (ICNST) of the breast. The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether a grading system incorporating tumor budding in a fibrotic focus is superior to the conventional grading system for tumor budding to accurately predict outcomes in patients with ICNST. According to our new grading system, we classified the tumors into grade I (164 cases), grade II (581 cases), and grade III (110 cases), and the results clearly demonstrated the significant superiority of the new grading system over that of conventional tumor budding alone for accurately predicting outcomes in patients with ICNST. Our findings strongly suggest that tumor cells and tumor-stromal cells interaction play very important roles in tumor progression rather than tumor cells alone.

Abstract
Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy with a very poor prognosis. A 77-year-old man underwent imaging studies due to poorly controlled hypertension, which revealed a mass measuring 43 mm in diameter near the left adrenal gland. There were no findings indicative of pheochromocytoma. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) was performed for the preoperative pathological evaluation, and the findings indicated a possibility of ACC. Based on these results, curative surgery was performed. If the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma is excluded, then EUS-FNA for adrenal lesions is relatively safe. It can also be used for the preoperative diagnosis of ACC.
