Great case!

Yummy case of doxycycline gastropathy. Check out the fibrinoid change in the tiny vessels that are pointed out with arrows. I was just proud to be able to draw arrows in photoshop.

Save the Date! UCSF Current Issues in Anatomic Pathology, May 23-25, 2019, San Francisco

Impressive example of hepatic amyloidosis. 84 year old man presented with liver failure and hepatomegaly. Kappa restriction shown by immunofluorescence. Patient later found to have a plasma cell neoplasm.

A more subtle case of hepatic amyloid. In the liver, this globular pattern of amyloid is highly specific for ALECT2, an unusual type of amyloid associated with patients of Hispanic ethnicity. The globules are seen in the sinusoids, portal tracts, and around central zones.

Super lovely example of anastomosing hemangioma of kidney. It even has extramedullary hematopoiesis and hyaline globules. These tumors are so cute and can be foolers for angiosarcoma.

UCSF has an unexpected opening in our Surgical Pathology Fellowship for 2019-2020. The experience includes a wide range of in-house cases, consultation cases, and intraoperative frozen section diagnosis. Any trainees that are interested should email me ([email protected]).

Anastomosing hemangiomas are just plain fun to spot. Sarah Umetsu Sarah Umetsu and her colleagues have even found GNAQ and GNA14 mutations in these cuties.
