For many years, immunohistochemistry (IHC) has played an essential role in diagnostic pathology. Advancements in our understanding of many diseases and increasing availability of targeted therapy have given the IHC technology a boost to evolve. This presentation is based on a series of diagnostically challenging cases referred to our hematopathology team by surgical pathologists. The diagnostic workup for these cases highlights newer applications of widely available IHC stains and also introduces recently developed markers.
