The Journal of Clinical Pathology offers a "rapid response" option for responding to published papers. Readers can submit responses via the website's "eLetters" feature, which are typically published within seven days.
A rare tumour, lymphadenoma of the salivary gland, is reported in a case involving a 74-year-old man with a parotid gland mass. The tumour was well-demarcated, solid, and contained epithelial cells in a dense lymphoid stroma. Immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis, and the absence of sebaceous glands and nodal capsule ruled out other possibilities. The case highlights the difficulty in diagnosing this rare tumour, which can be mistaken for other conditions such as Warthin's tumour or sebaceous lymphadenoma.
The article also discusses the follow-up of gastric precancerous lesions, highlighting methodological concerns in the study. It emphasizes the importance of using internationally accepted criteria for classification and grading of gastritis and dysplasia. The study's findings, while valuable, are limited by short follow-up periods and the difficulty in correlating biopsy samples with patient numbers.
The journal also lists upcoming events, including a course for pathologists and a cardiovascular pathology course. A book review of "Medical Microbiology" is provided, noting its strengths in covering traditional microbiology techniques and its relevance to both clinical and non-clinical laboratories. However, the book is criticized for its limited coverage of clinical methods and for including non-clinical content that may not be relevant to all readers.
