An anastomosing hemangioma presenting as a colorectal polyp. These are uncommon, initially described in the genitourinary tract. They can create concern for angiosarcoma and share mutations with other hemangioma types; PMIDs: 23887160, 19606014, 29574926, 31707589. #UMiamiPath

Another portal hypertension-associated antral polyp. The endothelial cells have a hobnail appearance. Because of a large liver transplant service at our institution, we encounter these polyps with some frequency. #UMiamiPath

Superficial acral fibromyxoma (also termed digital fibromyxoma) was described in 2001. It is benign but prone to recurrences in up to 25% of patients. It is often chock full of mast cells (arrow) and shows consistent CD34 expression. #UMiamiPath
PMIDs: 11486169, 22367301.

A splendid spindle cell hemangioma. These were initially reported as spindle cell hemangioendothelioma but additional data indicated otherwise. They are associated with the Maffucci syndrome (multiple enchondromas). #UMiamiPath

Today's renal cell carcinoma has spread to the duodenum. #umiamipath

Spectacular case: clear cell renal carcinoma that has spread to para-esophageal tissue. #UMiamiPath

This book is so clever and novel!

Dr. Monica Garcia and Dr. Julio Poveda with their latest books!

A couple Golden Goldman Girls cutting up at the #UMiamiPath reception at USCAP. Dr. Yantiss was given the Goldman from the USCAP and I the Goldman award from the Gastrointestinal Pathology Society. Of course a certain age is required to appreciate Golden Girls.

Others helped with the writing in both languages (Lysandra Voltaggio, Julio Poveda, Michael Vieth, Tilman Schulz, Tomas Slavik). Innovative Science Press Officers (Left to right: Magdalena Silva, Mica Constante, Dr. Garcia, and Mirlinda Caton) Get yours! innovativesciencepress.com

Our University of Miami colleague Monica Garcia-Buitrago has pulled off introducing the Spanish Edition of The GI Pathology Survival Guide in tandem with the English second edition. #UMiamiPath

Colonic ganglioneuromas are often a component of the polyposis in patients with the PTEN hamartoma (Cowden) syndrome. These patients have skin lesions (facial trichilemmoma, acral keratoses, papillomatous papules) can develop malignancies (esp. of breast, thyroid). #umiamipath

Our updated GI Pathology Survival Guide is at the printers and coming to us very soon. Thanks to the efforts of many colleagues, we are offering the book in both English and Spanish versions with the same images in each language! innovativesciencepress.com for orders

Gastric polyps associated with portal hypertension feature foveolar hyperplasia and dilated lamina propria capillaries with hobnail endothelial cells. #UMiamiPath

Myxofibrosarcoma can feature pseudolipoblasts. These cells do not contain lipid, in contrast to the real thing; instead they are stuffed with mucopolysaccharide matrix. #UMiamiPath

Benign cellular angiofibroma. It was initially described as 'angiomyofibroblastomalike tumor of the male genital tract' but they can arise in women. The thick hyalinized blood vessels are typical. This example arose in a man. Vintage reference: PMID: 9422311. #UMiamiPath

A lovely esophageal squamous papilloma. Most are unassociated with human papillomavirus in our population, but the figures vary. #umiamipath
