Correct recognition of these entities can be challenging, especially on small/needle biopsies, but is required to plan therapy and guide transplant in the setting of cirrhosis. Salient histologic features of these entities, along with ancillary use of immunostains and key molecular findings aiding in diagnosis, are discussed. Type 2 intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile ducts is typically associated with an invasive malignancy and lack unique molecular features associated with the Type 1 intraductal papillary neoplasm, thus they are called \"papillary cholangiocarcinoma\" by some authors. Some of the cholangiocarcinoma variants, like enteroblastic and mucoepidermoid, are under-recognized and can pose diagnostic challenges. The tubulocystic and cholangioblastic variants are relatively recently described but are being increasingly recognized. The cholangioblastic variant has a novel NIBPL-NACC1 fusion described in the more recent larger series reported, making it a somewhat unique variant of cholangiocarcinoma. Nomenclature of the cholangioblastic variant is in evolution as is the link between adenofibroma and the tubulocystic variant. Correct recognition of these variant subtypes would aid in long-term studies to better determine the prognosis in these subtypes.</p>","PeriodicalId":7305,"journal":{"name":"Advances In Anatomic Pathology","volume":" ","pages":"327-337"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143794411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rationale for convening this conference was the lack of structured and consented pathologic recommendations in these rare lesions. Consensus by participants was reached on the following statements: (1) intestinal metaplasia with dysplasia is considered to be a precursor to primary bladder adenocarcinoma; (2) dysplasia arising from cystitis glandularis should be reported in terms of focality (focal or nonfocal) and grade (low or high); (3) the term \"adenocarcinoma\" should only be used for carcinomas showing pure (nonurothelial) morphology and should not be used interchangeably in urothelial carcinoma with \"glandular differentiation\" because of the pathobiological differences and management implications; (4) the different histologic subtypes of bladder adenocarcinoma should be specified in the report; (5) immunohistochemistry has an ancillary role in the work up of bladder adenocarcinoma versus gastrointestinal or Müllerian-type adenocarcinomas; (6) lymphovascular invasion should be included as a parameter when reporting bladder adenocarcinoma; (7) representative or targeted sampling will be sufficient for bladder diverticulum resection specimens; and (8) molecular analysis in genomic profiling should be performed only in advanced or metastatic bladder and urachal adenocarcinomas for targetable therapy.

That said, while there are some basic principles to the workup that we can all likely agree upon, individual practice habits will need to be tailored to suit an individual setting. As such, the approach presented in this manuscript is meant to serve as a practical guide and not as dogma per se. Importantly, an in-depth discussion of individual diseases and International Consensus Classification diagnostic criteria will not be covered, as the main focus of this article is the approach to these disorders. The reader is referred to a comprehensive discussion of these diseases and diagnostic criteria in several excellent articles. While there are clear areas of overlap between eosinophilia and mast cell conditions (eg, systemic mastocytosis associated with eosinophilia, myeloid neoplasm with eosinophilia, and tyrosine kinase rearrangements), it is the authors' opinion that it is perhaps easier to navigate these entities separately (eg, eosinophilia as one broad topic and mast cell conditions as another) and to recognize the settings in which overlap may exist and what testing might be considered.
