Context.—Correlation of radiologic and pathologic findings is important for optimal management of patients with image-guided breast biopsies. Objectives.—To (1) evaluate the rates of radiologic and pathologic correlation in breast needle core biopsies, (2) evaluate laboratory and radiology practices associated with greater correlation rates, and (3) determine the rates at which the lack of radiologic-pathologic correlation is documented in pathology reports. Design.—The study was offered and conducted as a College of American Pathologists voluntary Q-Probes program. Participants in this study retrospectively reviewed 30 consecutive, initial, diagnostic needle core biopsy cases performed for abnormal radiologic findings. If 12 months of accessioned cases were reviewed without identifying 30 qualifying cases, participants stopped the retrospective review and included all cases identified. For each case or specimen, the participants provided detailed information about the radiologic and pathologic findings. Results.—In aggregate, a radiologic-pathologic correlation was found in 94.9% (1328 of 1399) of the cases reviewed, based on the participants' judgments. Significant differences in the correlation rates existed when cases were discussed at an interdepartmental, multidisciplinary conference (P < .001). No significant differences were found in the correlation rates of the following: whether surgeons or radiologists performed the biopsy, whether cores with calcifications were identified by any method, and whether the laboratory had one or more designated breast pathologists. Conclusions.—Participation in a multidisciplinary breast conference is useful in radiologic-pathologic correlation. Active involvement by pathologists in correlating pathologic and radiologic findings is important.

Pathologic Findings

Exposure to environmental factors can cause interstitial lung diseases (ILDs); however, such types of ILDs are rare. From 2007 to 2011, an ILD epidemic occurred in South Korea owing to inhalational exposure to toxic chemicals in humidifier disinfectants (HDs). HD-associated ILDs (HD-ILDs) are characterized by rapidly progressing respiratory failure with pulmonary fibrosis and a high mortality rate of 43.8%−58.0%. Although 18.1%−31.1% of the general population used HDs, only a small proportion of HD users were diagnosed with HD-ILDs. This finding suggests that investigation of the pathophysiologies underlying HD-ILDs is needed in addition to the identification of susceptibility to HD-ILDs. Further, there have been several concerns regarding the diverse health effects of exposure to toxic chemicals in HDs, including those that have not been identified, and long-term prognoses in terms of pulmonary function and residual pulmonary lesions observed on follow-up chest images. In this review, we summarize the clinical features, pathologic findings, and changes in radiologic findings over time in patients with HD-ILDs and the results of previous experimental research on the mechanisms underlying the effects of toxic chemicals in HDs. Studies are currently underway to identify the pathophysiologies of HD-ILDs and possible health effects of exposure to HDs along with the development of targeted therapeutic strategies. The experience of identification of HD-ILDs has encouraged stricter control of safe chemicals in everyday life.

Aggressive Tumors

The term “small round blue cell” is frequently used as a cursory radiologic pathological correlation of aggressive tumors throughout the body. We present a pictorial essay of common and uncommon subtypes of small round blue cell tumors in the chest illustrating the characteristic radiologic findings of each lesion. In addition, we review the pathologic findings of each tumor subtype with characteristic hematoxylin- and eosin-stained photomicrographs and immunohistochemical and molecular studies. Represented tumors include small cell carcinoma, Ewing sarcoma, extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma, embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, desmoplastic small round cell tumor, and posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder. Understanding and ability to recognize these lesions are essential to broaden the radiologist's differential diagnosis and help guide patient care.

Abstract Objectives Imaging-guided needle biopsy is a reliable alternative to surgical biopsy in the diagnosis of breast pathologies. However, false-positive results are common. Rad-Path correlation is crucial in identifying such results, thus allowing appropriate diagnosis and follow-up. We report our experience of Rad-Path correlation results in a community teaching hospital. Methods The tumor board data at Danbury Hospital were searched for Rad-Path conferences held from 2013 to 2018. Benign breast biopsies obtained from SNOMED, a monthly pathology list of imaging-guided needle biopsies performed at Danbury Hospital, were presented at these conferences. Data from the list were used for this research. Fibroadenoma cases were excluded in the analysis. The total number of cases presented and proportion of concordant and discordant cases were reviewed. Data on discordant cases were further reviewed to determine the reasons for discordance and follow-up outcomes. Results In the last 6 years, 64 Rad-Path meetings were held. A total of 393 benign breast biopsies were presented. Of the 393 cases, 24 (6.1%) were discordant. The radiologic findings for the discordant cases were as follows: mass/nodule, 15; calcifications, 7; linear nonmass enhancement, 1; and duct debris, 1. All the suspicious radiologic findings received a benign pathologic diagnosis. These discrepancies in Rad-Path findings were discussed in detail during the multidisciplinary tumor board. Out of 24 discordant cases, 5 (20.8%) were reviewed by the sign-out radiologist and their BI-RADS updated accordingly, another 5 (20.8%) cases had excisional biopsies, 9 (37.5%) cases were recommended for 6- or 12-month radiology follow-up, and the remaining 5 (20.8%) cases were lost to follow-up. Conclusion Rad-Path correlation is a key component of imaging-guided breast biopsy reporting. It facilitates detection of discordant radiologic and pathologic findings, and it prevents misdiagnosis and unnecessary repeat interventional procedures. This practice ultimately results in improved patient management.

Results of 606 equilibrium radionuclide ventriculographies (ERNV) performed in 348 non-selected patients receiving Adriamycin (ADM) therapy were stored in a data base system. The aim of the study was to assess the influence of a potential cardiotoxic therapy on left ventricular pump function. Increasing ADM doses yielded a significant (p <0.05) decrease of the resting ejection fraction (R-gEF), the peak ejection rate and the peak filling rate. Enddiastolic and endsystolic volumes increased significantly. Stroke volume, heart rate and time to peak filling rate did not change significantly. 368 follow-up studies were performed in 128 patients: 65/128 patients presented a decrease of R-gEF, but only in 45 of these patients R-gEF values fell into the pathologic range. In 44 of these follow-ups, R-gEF remained unchanged. In 19 patients, a R-gEF increase was observed. At the beginning of ADM therapy 14% of the patients had subnormal R-gEF values. With increasing ADM doses pathologic findings increased to 86% in patients with ADM doses higher than 500 mg/m2.
