About
Dr. Nithya Krishnamurthy is a pediatric pathologist whose research focuses on rare pediatric malignancies, particularly those involving the lung and thoracic cavity. Her work bridges the critical gap between histopathology and emerging minimally invasive diagnostic technologies. In her landmark 2023 case report, she described the first documented instance of a hybrid sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma/low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma harboring an EWSR1–CREB3L1 fusion in an 11-year-old patient—a tumor so rare that primary lung malignancies in children occur at an incidence of just 0.049 per 100,000. Beyond the molecular characterization, Dr. Krishnamurthy demonstrated the feasibility of robotic-assisted bronchoscopy for tissue acquisition in pediatric patients, a technique that offers a safer alternative to traditional surgical biopsy for children presenting with hemoptysis. Her work has been cited 3 times in its first year, reflecting its immediate relevance to both pediatric oncology and interventional pulmonology. By integrating precise molecular diagnostics with cutting-edge procedural approaches, Dr. Krishnamurthy is helping to define the standard of care for rare childhood lung tumors.
