Tissue Pathogens and Cancers: A Review of Commonly Seen Manifestations in Histo- and Cytopathology

Tissue pathogens are commonly encountered in histopathology and cytology practice, where they can present as either benign mimickers of malignancy or true malignancies. The aim of this review is to provide a timely synthesis of our understanding of these tissue pathogens, with an emphasis on pertine...
