Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) in the bone marrow of an adult male: aspirate smear (left) showing blasts with cytoplasmic pseudopods; core biopsy (right) showing spindle-shaped blasts. Rare! Skin lesions are usually present, and MNDA negative (vs. AML).

Cool peripheral smears come to those who take holiday weekend call. (Case 1 = images 1-3; case 2 = 4)

The reference to Little Orphan Annie (comic strip) may be lost on some younger and future pathologists. As a result, I propose updating the term "Orphan Annie eye nuclei" to "Face Screaming in Fear Emoji eye nuclei." Inspired by: Sara Zadeh, MD

Pathologists! This adult patient had elevated BUN & creatinine. Glomeruli look too cellular and too blue. Why? The capillaries are clogged with large B cells. This is intravascular large B-cell lymphoma; it can be tricky and subtle. #hemepath

I'm brokenhearted by the loss of my friend & colleague, Steve Coutre, a giant in #hematology. Steve trained & mentored me & inspired many to love & pursue #hematology. He touched the lives of many patients & peers as a clinician, scientist, & leader. My thoughts are w/ his family

Congrats to our PGY-2, Gisele Toumi, who has been recognized for her contributions as a Leadership Education in Advancing Diversity (LEAD) scholar! She will be presenting a workshop regarding microaggressions as healthcare providers at the upcoming LEAD forum on 6/3/2022.

Hand-thrown ceramic pitcher I made with fungal pathogens illustrated using underglaze. Inspired by lactophenol cotton blue stain and the many diagnoses we made this year. Beautiful but deadly. #PathTwitter #MicroMedEd #ClinMicro #MicrobeArt #MicroRounds Can you name them all?

Out in nature today, we report that #p53 loss unleashes an ordered & selective pattern of cancer #GenomeEvolution: nature.com/articles/s4158…. 1/n

There’s no molecular data for this patient but I bet you can guess the mutation.

What an amazing conference it’s been with European Association for Haematopathology. This was last night’s dinner locale - the cloisters of the Church of Santa Maria Novella, featuring frescoes from the 1500s

Our report of first-in-human GPRC5D-targeted CAR T cells for MM is out in NEJM! The trial was led by Sham Mailankody and could not be done without the amazing clinical, correlative science, stats, & cell manufacturing teams. Happy to share our bench>bedside journey 1/10

Excited for our incoming Stanford Pathology Residents! Stanford Pathology #Match2023 #pathology
