Miguel Reyes-Múgica Yale Pathology Linda Ernst Happy birthday to you both. I saw the interview with Linda on the front page of the latest CAP TODAY MAGAZINE. Excellent visibility for #Pedipath and #Placentapath!

I think this is a good example of villous linear subtrophoblastic mineralization, a distinctive pattern that has been associated w/ congenital anomalies, Trisomy 21, anencephaly, & antenatal Bartter syndrome. This case: cytogenetics = Trisomy 21 #obpath #placentapath

1st trimester missed abortion What's being shown here? Any guesses on what the karyotype confirmed? #placentapath #obpath

Given the placenta findings what are we worried about for the newborn? 👶 #PathTwitter #PathX #PediPath #PlacentaPath

Leon Metlay Each pathologist is entitled to have their own preferences. It's OK if placenta isn't your favorite. But you know what is rude? When colleagues openly deride #placentapath. Show some respect. You wouldn't be alive right now if you didn't have a decent placenta supporting you. 1/2

Example of villi with negative stromal cells but few/rare positive cytotrophoblast Interested to see how many people have seen this discordant pattern! (3/3) #obpath #placentapath Leon Metlay Jasmine Steele, MD

#placentapath #obpath I have a favor to ask! If you use a dissecting microscope to evaluate for villi, what's the make/model🔬? Either I don't know how to properly use the one in my lab, or it's the wrong kind 🤷‍♀️ Thank you!! 🙏 Leon Metlay Jasmine Steele, MD E. Heidi Cheek, MHS, PA(ASCP)

@cpschukow Not sure if you're asking for yourself or not, but if I see a rare plasma cell or two in villi in the context of basal / interface pattern of chronic villitis / VUE (especially when there's plasma cell deciduitis), I ignore them. #placentapath

Continuing the placental microorganism theme from last week, here's a case of placental listeriosis. The inset shows the gram positive rods that cause this patchy necrosis and exudative inflammation. #pathtwitter #pathx #pathology #placentapath

Look closely for viral cytopathic effect in this high power view of a placenta. Which virus do you think is responsible? #placentapath #pathsky #pathology

Intraplacental hepatic heterotopia (benign, just a quirk of development!) #placentapath #obpath #PathTwitter

Placentophiles! Here's something incidental and fun. Ever seen one? Answer posted below. #placentapath #obpath #PathTwitter

Ugly necrotizing chorioamionitis in a placenta from a G6P1 pt at 19 weeks gestation with loss of fluid. This case also had dramatic funisitis. #placentapath #pathology #pathx #pathtwitter #histology

Do you see what I see? IUFD at 35 weeks, likely due to cord accident (true knot) #placentapath #obpath
