Well-Differentiated Papillary Mesothelioma with Omental Calcifications: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Erem, A.S., Allamaneni, S.S., Braverman, T.S.
Omental calcifications of the peritoneum are typically small and asymptomatic. However, larger psammomatous bodies that cause symptoms such as abdominal pain and bloating are often associated with tumors such as primary serous papillary carcinoma, mesothelioma, or metastatic ovarian cancer.

Serratia Liver Abscess Infection and Cardiomyopathy in a Patient with Diabetes Mellitus: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Erem, A.S., Krapivina, A., Braverman, T.S., Allamaneni, S.S.
Diabetes mellitus and acute cholecystitis were key factors in the initial infections and abscess. We also suspect this is a rare case of cardiomyopathy induced by a Serratia infection. The source of the Serratia odorifera is less certain, as it postdates placement of a percutaneous drain, raising the potential for a nosocomial infection but not precluding the possibility that both Serratia species were previously present.

CAP20: Borderline malignant solitary fibrous tumor of the liver: An uncommon occurrence
Erem, A.S., Ginting, K.E., Braverman, T.S., Allamaneni, S.S.
Please join us at this years CAP20 virtual conference being held from October 10 to 13th or look for our abstract in the CAP20 special edition of Archives of Pathology. Our case documents a rare occurrence of a solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) in the liver and an equally rarer circumstance where this neoplasm tests positive for cytokeratin, bringing the possibility of malignancy into consideration. We will discuss the immunohistochemical signature and cytological description of the tumour, differential diagnosis and recommended treatment / management strategy for the patient
