Case 10.3a Image 63-year-old underwent hysterectomy for enlarging uterine mass.
Case 10.3b Image 56-year-old underwent hysterectomy for multiple uterine leiomyomas.
Case 10.3c Image 56-year-old underwent curettage for postmenopausal bleeding and a polypoid uterine mass.

Case 16f Image 70-year-old female presenting with weakness, fatigue, weight loss, and splenomegaly.
Case 16 Image 71-year-old female presenting with weakness, fatigue, weight loss, and splenomegaly.
Case 18 & 19a Image Lung Pathology A 67-year-old woman presents with a lung nodule that was discovered incidentally on a CT scan performed for cholecystitis. The nodule is a ground glass opacity measuring 1.2 cm, which has not appreciably changed during one year of follow-up. She is a never smoker. What driver mutation is most likely based on tumor morphology?
Case 18 & 19b Image A 74-year-old man with a 60 pack-year history of smoking presents with cough, and is found to have a 3.2 cm lung mass. What driver mutation is most likely based on tumor morphology?
Case 18 & 19c Image A 52-year-old woman presents with ataxia. Brain imaging shows multiple lesions worrisome for metastasis. PET CT reveals a 4.2 cm lung mass. What driver mutation is most likely based on tumor morphology?
Case 18 & 19d Image A 70-year-old man with an 80 pack-year smoking history presents with hemoptysis. Chest CT shows a 5.2 cm hilar lung mass. Based on the histology, what ancillary test is the patient’s oncologist most likely to be interested in?

Case 21c Image
Molecular Pathology of Melanocytic Proliferation: A Brief Overview A 19-year-old male patient noticed a 4 mm pink papule on left ear (slightly above ear lobe). This papule has been there for over two years, and the patient felt it was slowly growing. There was no ulceration or bleeding. The lesion was not painful or itchy.

50-year-old female with 1.5 cm left breast mass identified on routine screening mammography.
Case 24 Image Neuropathology A 54-year-old man presented with mood and personality changes, and occasional black-out spells. MRIs of the brain revealed a tumor diffusely infiltrating the left frontal lobe and corpus callosum, harboring regions of heterogeneous post-contrast enhancement. The patient underwent an open biopsy of the tumor.
Case 25 Image Neuropathology A 7-year-old boy presented with intermittent episodes of vomiting and loss of consciousness. MRIs of the brain revealed a T2-hyperintense, bubbly-appearing mass in the right parieto-occipital lobe, which harbored nodular areas of post-contrast enhancement. The patient underwent tumor resection.
