In the benign tumor category, recognition of pleomorphic adenoma with canalicular/trabecular phenotype driven by HMGA2 fusions, triphasic basal cell adenoma with S100 protein-positive "stroma", characterized by CTNNB1 mutations, metaplastic Warthin tumor with KRAS mutations and delineation of thymus-like phenotype in non-sebaceous lymphadenoma with recurrent CYLD mutations are the main highlights. This evidence concerns the gene CYLD and benign neoplasm.
