Middle age man with osteoarthritis and a 2 cm intra-articular soft tissue mass of the knee. Clinical impression is lipoma. CD34 was focally positive. I'm having trouble precisely classifying this lesion (considered myxoid SCL with chondroid metaplasia). Thoughts? #bstpath

One to chew on for the weekend. Elderly man with a new 0.6 cm nodule on the forehead. What an odd little booger. #dermpath

Etan Marks, DO @ArjunRamaiya1 Henry YANG David Terrano Christine J. Ko, MD Dermpath_doc_trish Daniel Skipper Jacob Smalberger, M.D. Tim McCalmont Jerad Gardner, MD We use the Ventana VE1 antibody.

After 9 years of training, a pathologist in 2024 will get paid $35.36 to diagnose a person’s cancer, compared to $45 in 2000. That is a 45% decrease in inflation-adjusted income. 0.006% of the US population is trained to do this job. When do we say enough is enough?
