By Justine A Barletta
This issue of Surgical Pathology Clinics, Guest Edited by Dr. Justine A. Barletta, will focus on Endocrine Pathology. Topics include, but are not limited to, Pitfalls in Thyroid Cytology, Prognostic Parameters in Differentiated Thyroid Carcinomas, Thyroid Tumors You Don’t Want to Miss, Molecular Alterations in Thyroid Carcinomas, Treatment of Differentiated Thyroid Carcinomas, Treatment of Aggressive Thyroid Carcinomas, A Guide to Pheochromocytomas and Paragangliomas, A Diagnostic Approach to Adrenocortical Tumors, Treatment of Adrenocortical Carcinoma and Pheochromocytomas, Parathyroid Pathology, Neuroendocrine Tumors of the GI Tract and Pancreas, Treatment of GI Neuroendocrine Tumors, and Neuroendocrine Tumors of the Lung.

The Surgical Pathology Clinics is a reputable series that provides in-depth knowledge and updates on various topics within the field of pathology. In the latest edition, Guest Edited by Dr. Justine A. Barletta, the focus is on Endocrine Pathology. This comprehensive issue covers a wide range of topics including pitfalls in thyroid cytology, prognostic parameters in differentiated thyroid carcinomas, molecular alterations in thyroid carcinomas, and treatment options for various endocrine tumors.

Thyroid pathology has always posed challenges for pathologists due to the overlapping and complex nature of its lesions. As a result, pitfalls in thyroid cytology have become an important topic to address. In this issue, experts will provide valuable insights and strategies to improve accuracy and reduce diagnostic errors in thyroid cytopathology.

Prognostic parameters in differentiated thyroid carcinomas are another key focus in this edition. Pathologists and clinicians often rely on these parameters to guide treatment decisions and predict patient outcomes. This issue aims to provide an up-to-date overview of prognostic markers, their clinical significance, and their potential impact on patient management.

Furthermore, the issue sheds light on thyroid tumors that are critical to identify and should not be missed. These include rare and aggressive variants that require special attention for accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. The insights provided in this section will be invaluable for pathologists, surgeons, and oncologists involved in the care of patients with thyroid nodules and tumors.

Molecular alterations in thyroid carcinomas have gained significant attention in recent years. The issue explores the latest advancements in molecular testing and their impact on diagnosis, prognosis, and targeted therapy. Understanding the molecular basis of thyroid tumors is essential for personalized medicine and improving patient outcomes.

The treatment of differentiated and aggressive thyroid carcinomas is also addressed in this issue. With the advent of targeted therapies, clinicians have more options to consider in managing patients with advanced or refractory disease. This section provides an overview of available treatments and discusses their efficacy and potential adverse effects.

Continuing with the theme of endocrine pathology, the issue includes a guide to pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas. These rare tumors of the adrenal gland and extra-adrenal sites can present diagnostic challenges. The article will help pathologists differentiate these tumors from other adrenal neoplasms and discuss the appropriate use of immunohistochemical and molecular testing.

Adrenocortical tumors, including adrenocortical carcinoma and pheochromocytomas, are also discussed in detail. The article offers a diagnostic approach to these tumors, focusing on histologic patterns, immunohistochemistry, and molecular testing. Additionally, treatment options for adrenocortical carcinoma and pheochromocytomas are highlighted, including surgical resection, adjuvant therapies, and emerging targeted therapies.

Parathyroid pathology is another important topic covered in this issue. Parathyroid tumors can present diagnostic challenges due to their overlapping histologic features. The article provides an in-depth review of parathyroid neoplasms, highlighting the key diagnostic features, immunohistochemical markers, and molecular alterations that aid in accurate diagnosis and subclassification.

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and pancreas also have a dedicated section in this issue. NETs can arise in various organs within the GI tract, and their diagnosis and management often require a multidisciplinary approach. The article provides guidance on histologic classification, immunohistochemical markers, and molecular alterations in GI NETs, as well as treatment options including surgery, targeted therapies, and peptide receptor radionuclide therapy.

Lastly, the issue covers neuroendocrine tumors of the lung. Lung carcinoids and neuroendocrine carcinomas are a subset of lung cancers that have distinct histopathologic and clinical features. The article discusses the classification, histologic features, and diagnostic criteria for lung neuroendocrine tumors. It also provides an overview of treatment options, including surgery, chemotherapy, and targeted therapies.
