i may be expressing my ignorance but this sounds pretty
ho-hum. is this worth publication as a single case report?

Ho-hum never stopped me in residency. If you write it someone will publish it. Another line on the cv. Proceed with the chlorophyll!

As far as the actual question. Just read a few case reports. They’re usually all about the same. Discuss the case - clinical, path findings etc. then go through the differential. Then maybe some pertinent ihc that helps with the differential then say something like “but H&e is still the gold standard” etc etc.

Agreed, ho hum at best. Does it at least have a molecular correlate, outcome/management decision tree or something to spice it up? As said before, consider it but on the value vs. effort scale, it might be pretty low unless perhaps you are an undergrad/post-undergrad tech, anticipating applying to graduate/professional school and with a lot of time on your hands.
