Classic hematoxylin bodies characteristic of lupus lymphadenopathy. Extracellular clumps of amorphous material that stain intensely with hematoxylin. Thought to be degenerated nuclei that have reacted with ANAs. #CAPVirtualPath

Glycogenated intermediate cells on #papsmear or “Navicular cells” 🛶 🍯💙They contain golden yellow glycogen in the cytoplasm 🤰👩🏽‍🦳They are abundant in the post-ovulatory phase,during pregnancy and in some menopausal smears #cytopath #cytology #beautyandbenign #simple #worth

“Be kind, for whenever kindness becomes part of something, it beautifies it. Whenever it is taken from something, it leaves it tarnished.” -Prophet Mohammed ﷺ

Lymphoma Bad is Good Good is Bad Bad = Aggressive but curable Good = Indolent but incurable Bad (remember the bad) Burkitt DLBCL T-cell (excluding cutaneous T-cell lymphoma) Every other lymphoma is indolent (CLL etc) Exception = Mantle = Middle Can be indolent or aggressive

NICE example of “MW bodies” (Melamed-Wolinska bodies) in voided urine of a patient with a history of HG Urothelial Carcinoma (the latter not seen in these images). Described in 1961 by Dr. Myron Melamed and his cytotech Ms. WH Wolinska, from MSKCC in New York City.

Reporting IHC for Hodgkin lymphoma is about more than just calling things ‘positive’ and ‘negative.’ Even the ‘negative’ stains will point you in the direction of the neoplastic culprits! #PathX #HemePath

🦠 3D Spheres or ‘Gum Balls’ in Cytology! These structures are seen in myoepithelial-rich tumors, including: ✅ Adenoid cystic carcinoma ✅ Pleomorphic adenoma (cellular) ✅ Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma ✅ Basal cell adenoma ✅ Polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma

Same cells, different stains Russell bodies (H&E) vs Mott cells (Giemsa). These Ig-stuffed plasma cells are gorgeous 👌🏼 #hemepath

pathologists will post a picture of a parasite and be like “isn’t she so beautiful”
