Some ependymomas can really look papillary, like a choroid plexus papilloma. But if you look carefully, you'll see glial processes running from the tumor cells down to the vessels. #pathology #neuropath #pathtwitter

History of spine radiation as a child for a CNS neoplasm, few years later with a spinal bone lesion (H&E and p53 IHC).. no osteoid formation seen in the tumor, likely diagnosis? #neuropath #pedipath #molecpath #bonepath

One of the reasons I love hiking is because I’m reminded of the similarities between the human body and nature.. think of a neuron as a tree: dendrites are the branches, cell body is the trunk and the axon as roots...🧠🌲😊

Here is a KIAA1549::BRAF proven pilocytic #astrocytoma with a multinucleated tumor cell (pennies-on-a-plate pattern).. and large ganglionic-like cells… these tumors can also have entrapped neurons #pedipath #neuropath

I was fortunate to collaborate with an amazing group of veterinary pathologists and neuropathologists and glad to share our newly published research, aiming to facilitate the translation of knowledge between canine and human cancer #neuropath onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/bp…

On Mother's Day, sharing adapted work by Nizar Qabbani “Good morning my beautiful saint, it has been years since that boy sailed on his fairytale journey and hid in his pocket a damascene lilac, for no woman can comb my hair or lift me up like you do, oh mother, oh mother” ☺️

Here is a Wilms tumor (Nephroblastoma) with blastemal and epithelial components and a great resemblance to the CNS Embryonal tumor with multilayered rosettes (ETMR)! both are embryonal tumors that can be seen in DICER1 syndrome #pedipath #neuropath

Look for the Line of Gennari along the banks of the calcarine sulcus of the occipital lobe, a visible band of myelinated axons formed by axonal projections from the thalamus to layer IV of the primary visual cortex "striate cortex” #neuroanatomy #neuropath #brainautopsy
