AimsNeuroendocrine tumours (NETs) occurring in the extrahepatic biliary system are exceedingly rare. While NETs typically manifest as mass lesions, the occurrence of microscopic neuroendocrine cell proliferation without a distinct mass remains undocumented at this location. This study aims to characterise the clinicopathological features of a series of well‐differentiated neuroendocrine lesions involving the extrahepatic biliary tree, including mass forming NETs and microscopic non‐mass‐forming neuroendocrine cell proliferation, designated neuroendocrine cell micronests (NCMs).Methods and resultsSurgical resections of NETs/NCMs involving the extrahepatic bile ducts and gallbladder were identified from electronic pathology databases among seven institutions spanning from January 2011 to September 2023. Clinical and histological findings were recorded. Ten patients (four female, six male: age range = 34–75 years) were included in the study. Histopathological examination revealed visible mass‐forming lesions in four cases (1.6–14.0 cm in size), identified in the gallbladder (n = two) or extrahepatic bile duct (n = two), all diagnosed as well‐differentiated NETs. The remaining six cases revealed incidental non‐mass‐forming NCMs in either the cystic duct (n = two), common bile duct (n = three) or gallbladder (n = one), ranging from < 0.1 to 0.4 cm; four were associated with biliary lithiasis. No evidence of metastasis or recurrence was seen in the follow‐up period (range = 0.1–11.2 years).ConclusionsThis study highlights the spectrum of extrahepatic biliary well‐differentiated neuroendocrine lesions, ranging from incidental microscopic NCMs to grossly apparent mass‐forming NETs, potentially requiring different clinical management. Noteworthy is the frequent association of incidental microscopic neuroendocrine cell proliferations with biliary lithiasis, indicating a potential neuroendocrine metaplastic pathogenesis that merits further exploration.

AimsBRCA1‐associaed protein‐1 (BAP1) inactivated tumours (BIMT) are rare melanocytic tumours that may be mistaken for Spitz tumours or melanoma. They occur sporadically or in association with the BAP1 tumour predisposition syndrome (BAP1–TPDS), which may be complicated by uveal or cutaneous melanoma, mesothelioma, basal cell carcinoma and renal cell carcinoma. The aim of this study was to characterise the clinicopathological features and the immunohistochemical expression pattern of preferentially expressed antigen in melanoma (PRAME) of BIMT in a large patient cohort.Methods and resultsEthical approval was obtained, haematoxylin and eosin‐stained slides were reviewed, PRAME immunohistochemistry was performed and clinical follow‐up was obtained from patient records. Sixty‐five BIMT from 38 patients (F:M = 4.4:1) were identified. BIMT were typically located on the trunk and head and neck (median size = 0.5 cm). Seven patients with BAP1–TPDS (range = 16–66 years, median = 25) had multiple BIMT (median = 5), while sporadic BIMT were solitary (median patient age = 39 years). One of seven patients with BAP1–TPDS developed additional malignancies (mesothelioma and cutaneous spindle cell melanoma) and died of complications of mesothelioma. All other patients are alive without recurrence of BIMT (median follow‐up = 42 months). BIMT presented as intradermal, nodular aggregates of epithelioid melanocytes with low mitotic activity and moderate to severe cytological atypia in 63% of cases. A background conventional naevus was present in 64%. PRAME immunohistochemistry showed negative or weakly patchy positive staining in all BIMT.ConclusionsBIMT are more common in a sporadic setting and behave indolently, despite worrying cytological atypia. PRAME immunohistochemistry is a reassuring tool in distinguishing BIMT from melanoma.

AimsThe American Society of Clinical Oncology and College of American Pathologists HER2‐guidelines recommend repeat testing for most grade 1 mammary carcinomas that are HER2‐positive in the core biopsy. This study aimed to assess the value of repeat HER2‐testing and the histological features of HER2‐positive grade 1 carcinomas.Methods and resultsA case‐series of HER2‐results of grade 1 carcinomas was conducted of patients with no pre‐operative systemic treatment over a 5‐year period. HER2‐positive carcinomas had histological review. Twelve HER2‐positive carcinomas were initially reported as grade 1. On review, two were reclassified as grade 2. The remaining 10 carcinomas represented 2% of the 508 grade 1 carcinomas. Eight HER2‐positive grade 1 carcinomas from other years were also studied. HER2‐positive carcinomas more often had marked nuclear pleomorphism (50 versus 6%) and were more often oestrogen receptor‐negative (17 versus 0.8%) and progesterone receptor‐negative (28 versus 8%) compared with HER2‐negative grade 1 carcinomas. Six carcinomas that were HER2 3+ in the core biopsy were also 3+ on repeat assessment. Five of seven carcinomas that were 2+ amplified in the core biopsy were also HER2‐positive in the excision.ConclusionsHER2‐positive grade 1 carcinomas are uncommon, and more often have marked nuclear pleomorphism and lack oestrogen receptor and progesterone receptor expression compared with HER2‐negative grade 1 carcinomas. A HER2‐poitive result in the core biopsy was confirmed in 11 of 13 tumours that had repeat testing.
