Review of the Week
Kinase-altered spindle cell neoplasms: recognising the morphologic clues, using targeted IHC, and knowing when molecular testing is indicated.
Based on an excellent presentation by Dr Alison Cheah at the IAP Australasian Division ASM 2026.
🔬 IAP Case of the Week
A 20-year-old with an erythematous plaque on the lower leg.
This case illustrates how morphology, IHC and molecular testing lead to the diagnosis of an NTRK-rearranged spindle cell neoplasm—an emerging WHO entity.
