Pathology has no truth in names.
Examples:
- Papillary thyroid carcinoma - does not need papillae.
- Large cell variant of small cell carcinoma.
- Sertoli-Leydig cell tumour - does not require Sertoli cells and Leydig cells.[1]
- Eosinophilic variant of clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
- Clear cell carcinoma - cells do not have to be clear; hobnailing is the key feature.
- Clear cell sarcoma - cells do not have to be clear through-out.
- Maternal floor infarct - not really an infarct.
