Session 5 of 2007 Workshop of the Society for Hematopathology/European Association for Haematopathology focused on therapy-related myeloid neoplasms. This report discusses the diversity and relevance of clinical, pathologic, and genetic features and provides an update on the pathogenesis of these disorders. We highlight common diagnostic issues such as the differentiation between therapy-relate...

Early phases of polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, and primary myelofibrosis (PMF) can be difficult to distinguish by morphologic studies alone because they share many morphologic characteristics. Histologic criteria according to the 2008 World Health Organization (WHO) classification are part of the myeloproliferative neoplasia (MPN) diagnosis. Our aim was to assess the reproducibil...

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia-cardiomyopathy (ARVD-C) is a rare heart condition with characteristic thinning and fibroadipose tissue replacement of the myocardium of the right ventricular wall. We have seen 20 autopsy cases with morphologic features fitting the criteria of ARVD-C in our hospital in the past 5 years. The clinical characteristics of these patients were not those desc...

Septoria leaf blotch caused by Zymoseptoria tritici is one of the most harmful diseases in Belarus. Isolates pathogen were obtained from northern, central and southern populations: 2018–2019, whichvaried significantly among structure colonies. The rate fungal isolates forming yeast-like colonies decreased 55.0 % North Belarus to 6.7 South, whereas incidence filamentous increased 31.3 80.0 %, re...

In the paper, preliminary results for the classification of microcalcifications (MCs) into the three BIRADSTM morphologic categories (punctate, pleomorphic and linear) have been presented. To classify the microcalcifications into morphologic types the set of 27 shape descriptors has been constructed. The morphology of the cluster has been determined as the mean values of shape descriptors for s...
