Mesothelial cell : tips and tricks for cytology of effusions. #cytopath #PathBoards

"NEVER forget the path of the traversing FNA needle". Liver mass in a 50/M with history of "Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor (PanNET)". The flat sheets of mesothelial cells present a beautiful and eye-catching contrast with the background metastatic PanNET.

Hemorrhoids are “Easy” to Read by Pathologists. Easy to Read, however, also sometimes mean Easy to Miss 😰😨 Here’s an HSIL involving a hemorrhoid. Credit: Michelle Williams, MD #pathagonia #pathx #gipath #obgyn #gynpath #hpv #medstudent #gensurg #surgpath #surgery #medx

"Multinucleated giant histiocytes" are not rare in FNAs of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma and should not be overinterpreted as pleomorphic tumor giant cells.

Focal Active Colitis My staff likes to call it the "pimple" of the colon in ADULTS -- (eg. it's common, nonspecific) In CHILDREN, however, ~25% are later found to have Crohn's, so be on the look 👀 out in kids! #pathx #gipath #crohns #colitis

More people lose from fear of failure than actual failure.

Microgranular #APL: large blasts with paucity/absence of granules & many bilobed nuclei. This case has unusual immunophenotype by flow: NEG CD117, partial positivity for HLA-DR, dim CD2. Blasts were neg for CD34 and showed bright MPO. #Hemepath #Acute #promyelocytic #leukemia

I often feel bad for the child of senior citizen patients who accompanies them to the clinic for their appointments/checkups and yet all that the senior citizen patients want to talk about or praise is their other child who is settled abroad but is never with them in sickness.
