Common spongiotic dermatoses
This review article focuses on the spongiotic tissue reaction pattern and some of the common entities that practicing pathologists can frequently encounter in their practice. The spongiotic tissue reaction pattern is the single most common one encountered in the routine analysis of inflammatory dermatoses, and the most non-specific one as well. Spongiotic dermatoses include a very large list of disorders which are best grouped under neutrophilic, eosinophilic, miliarial, follicular and pityriasiform forms of spogiosis.

Variant Differentiation Patterns in Primary Liver Carcinoma
Hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma are two distinct forms of primary liver carcinoma recognizable at the microscope by their architectural and cytological characteristics, as well as specific immunohistochemical profiles. This straightforward concept however, is increasing imperiled by the recognition of primary liver carcinomas that do not subscribe to a dichotomous paradigm of differentiation, and instead demonstrate biphenotypic differentiation, stem/ progenitor cell like features or other variant patterns of differentiation.

Preface
Informal polls of our colleagues and trainees that we have taken over several years have consistently identified non-neoplastic dermatopathology (NNDP) as a topical area of considerable unease. That situation has at least three main underpinnings, including a shortage of educational experience in NNDP in anatomic pathology residency curricula; unfamiliarity by pathologists with the “gross” (clinical) features of various dermatological disorders; and the considerable number of Latin, Greek, French, and German language terms that are used in the diagnosis of skin diseases.

Introduction
There is much to report from the realm of liver tumors. The incidence of both hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, is increasing worldwide. Although direct acting antivirals and vaccination protocols provide hope of decreasing the burden of chronic hepatitis C and B respectively as leading causes of HCC, the global epidemic of fatty liver disease and metabolic syndrome appears to provide a novel and rather fertile milieu for the development of HCC. Many HCCs arising in a background of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease occur in the absence of cirrhosis and these tumors may recapitulate the fea...

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma
Cholangiocarcinoma, also referred to as cholangiocellular carcinoma (particularly in Japan), develops along the biliary tract. The tumor may be intra- or extrahepatic and have different features with specific treatments based on the site of origin. Guidelines for diagnosis and management of cholangiorcarcinoma, such as those proposed by EASL (European Association for the Study of the Liver)1 and the Mayo Clinic2 classify the tumor into intrahepatic, perihilar, and distal cholangiocarcinoma. There are three main macroscopic patterns of growth of cholangiocarcinoma: mass-forming, periductal-infiltrating and intraductal. (Sou...

Panniculitis: a summary
The diagnosis of panniculitis is felt to be a confusing topic by some pathologists. This summarical article presents inflammatory diseases of the subcutis in a systematic fashion, based on whether they are centered on fibrovascular septa or the adipose lobules, and whether morphologic vasculitis is present or not. Septocentric, non-vasculitis disorders include erythema nodosum, panniculitis that follows the use of “biological” therapeutic agents, lipodermatosclerosis, post-irradiation panniculitis, morphea profunda, and necrobiosis lipodica profunda.

Aggressive Cutaneous T-cell Lymphomas
Cutaneous T cell lymphomas (CTCLs) are heterogeneous, with a prognosis determined in large part by combined clinical, histopathologic, and immunophenotypic features. They are classified under the WHO-EORTC classification of primary cutaneous lymphoma. Whether or not a patient diagnosed with CTCL will experience an aggressive course may not be completely predictable; however, certain subtypes have been proven to be associated with a poor response to therapy and/or short survival. These aggressive subtypes may be diagnosed by certain histologic, immunophenotypic, and clinical features; however, there are benign lymphoprolife...
