Pathologic findings in surgical resections from patients with temporal lobe epilepsy include a wide range of diagnostic possibilities that can be categorized into different groups on the basis of etiology. This paper outlines the various pathologic entities described in temporal lobe epilepsy, including some newly recognized epilepsy-associated tumors, and briefly touch on the recent classification of focal cortical dysplasia. This classification takes into account coexistent pathologic lesions in focal cortical dysplasia.

Consensus Classification

Context.— In 2013, the revised American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society classification of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs) described 2 rare IIPs and 2 rare histologic patterns. Because of the rarity of the disease, there is limited evidence related to the histology. Because the rare histologic patterns are provisional criteria, no unanimous consensus on histologic diagnostic criteria has yet been reached. Objective.— To review the histologic features for rare IIPs and rare histologic patterns, and to provide diagnostic aids and discuss the differential diagnosis. Data Sources.— Published peer-reviewed literature and the authors' personal experience. Conclusions.— Following the publication of the international consensus classification, evidence regarding rare IIPs and rare histologic patterns has accumulated to some extent, although to date the amount remains insufficient and further evidence is required. Because the diagnosis is sometimes challenging, a multidisciplinary approach represents the gold standard in reaching an accurate diagnosis for these rare disorders.

Cortical Dysplasias

Focal cortical dysplasias (FCDs) are congenital malformations of cortical development that are a frequent cause of refractory epilepsy in both children and adults. With advances in structural and functional neuroimaging, these lesions are increasingly being identified as a cause of intractable epilepsy in patients undergoing surgical management for intractable epilepsy. Comprehensive histological classification of FCDs with the establishment of uniform terminology and reproducible pathological features has aided in our understanding of FCDs as an epilepsy substrate. Complete resection of FCDs and the associated epileptogenic zone can result in a good surgical outcome in the majority of patients.
