Developmental etiologies are particularly problematic by virtue of being refractory to routine modalities for enhancing ventilation and oxygen exchange. Some genetic causes of neonatal respiratory distress, such as surfactant protein deficiencies and alveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of pulmonary veins, are well known, and sequencing panels have been formulated to detect them. We present a case of fatal neonatal respiratory insufficiency in which the autopsy showed primary pulmonary hypoplasia and congenital alveolar dysplasia. A sequencing panel of genes associated with heritable pulmonary disorders gave a normal result; however, a chromosomal microarray identified a heterozygous deletion encompassing the TBX4 gene on chromosome 17. Haploinsufficiency for TBX4 is a known cause of disturbed pulmonary development. This case illustrates why work-up of pulmonary developmental disorders must look beyond standard sequencing panels in some instances, if rare causes of pulmonary maldevelopment such as deletions causing haploinsufficiency are not to be missed.","PeriodicalId":54634,"journal":{"name":"Pediatric and Developmental Pathology","volume":" ","pages":"10935266251322326"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143506034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In cholestasis, this feedback mechanism is dysregulated. FGF19 is not expressed in the healthy liver. We aimed to assess the hepatic expression of FGF19 in neonatal cholestasis (NC) and its relation to serum bile acids.Methods: The study included 41 patients with NC. FGF19 immunohistochemical staining in liver tissue (hepatocytes, endothelial cells, bile ducts, and bile canaliculi) was evaluated as negative, weak, moderate, and strong staining. FGF19 staining in 6 liver samples from explants of children with Crigler-Najjar syndrome type-1 served as controls.Results: Hepatocyte, endothelial, and canalicular FGF19 expression was significantly higher in cholestasis group compared to controls (P = .039, .006, and .028 respectively). Serum bile acids had significant correlation with hepatocyte FGF19, endothelial, and bile duct FGF19 expressions (P = .002, .003, and .01, respectively) but not with canalicular FGF19 expression. Hepatocyte FGF19 expression significantly associated with cholestasis severity in terms of serum total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, and aspartate transaminase levels (P = .01, .02, and .02, respectively).Conclusion: Hepatic FGF19 expression significantly upregulated in NC and correlated with cholestasis severity.","PeriodicalId":54634,"journal":{"name":"Pediatric and Developmental Pathology","volume":" ","pages":"10935266251322941"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143517452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is most common in adults; pediatric literature is limited.Methods: Ten years of records were queried for esophageal biopsies containing terms \"sloughing\" and/or \"dissecans.\" Histologic inclusion criteria were \"two-tone\" appearance, sloughing/flaking of superficial epithelium, and parakeratosis. Degree of inflammation was documented and medical records were reviewed.Results: Fourteen patients were identified ranging from 1 to 19 years (mean = 14 years) and included 3 males and 11 females. Two patients were excluded due to lack of histologic criteria/unavailability of slides for review. Of the 12 cases evaluated, 6 showed a classic inflammation pattern, 5 had minimal or no inflammation, and 1 displayed severe acute inflammation. Endoscopy did not correlate with histology. Sloughing esophagitis is traditionally associated with Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) use; though 5/12 patients were taking medication for anxiety or depression, only 3 were taking SSRIs. Five patients had marijuana/cannabinoid exposure.Conclusion: Sloughing esophagitis can present in the pediatric population across a wide age range. Similar to the adult population, etiology may be linked to medications. Additional associations such as marijuana/cannabinoid exposure need further clinical investigation.

ANE's diagnostic challenges render it difficult to recognize and treat in a timely and effective manner. Although infantile-onset cases have been reported, the presentation of ANE in preterm neonates has not been described. Herein, we report a case of a preterm newborn who had a relatively stable clinical course in the first week of life, after which the neonate exhibited sudden deterioration due to progressive encephalopathy with refractory status epilepticus. Despite aggressive management of seizures and sepsis, the patient succumbed. Whole-exome sequencing analyses of the patient and parents were negative. Viral and metabolic testing were non-contributory. An autopsy showed evidence of acute to subacute fulminant liquefactive necrosis with extensive hemorrhage diffusely in the cortex with relative sparing of the cerebellum and the brainstem. A major consideration highlighted by this case is that the adaptive immune response to the immune-mediated or cytokine storm-related proposed etiology of acute necrotizing encephalopathy may differ in preterm compared with full-term infants due to properties dictated by their innate immune responses. Clinical suspicion of ANE should be heightened whenever preterm neonates with early sepsis continue to deteriorate despite aggressive management.","PeriodicalId":54634,"journal":{"name":"Pediatric and Developmental Pathology","volume":" ","pages":"10935266251319093"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143411406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All cases are pediatric pathology cases. Each pathologist reviewed multiple digital cases and the corresponding glass slide cases. For each review, intra-observer concordance (diagnosis on digital case versus diagnosis on glass slide case) was recorded, creating a data point.Result: The study generated 269 valid diagnostic data points. Out of the 269 data points, 257 were concordant (95.5% concordance), exceeding the CAP recommendation of 95% concordance.

Although the AMKL was initially thought either to be a phenotypic change from the original B-ALL or to have arisen as a result of treatment (acute myeloid leukemia, post cytotoxic therapy, AML-pCT [WHO]; AML, therapy related [ICC]), genetic evaluation of both the AMKL and the B-ALL suggest that neither of these considerations was correct. Rather, the AMKL did not harbor the most common genetic hallmark of AML-pCT-rearrangement of KMT2- and was genetically distinct from the B-ALL. Both the B-ALL and the AMKL, however, showed an identical TP53 mutation by next generation sequencing (NGS), while germline testing was negative for this mutant allele. Hence, either the patient had a tissue restricted constitutional TP53 mutation or had a somatic mutation in a multipotent hematopoietic precursor.
