I did something outside my comfort zone but it turned out to be so rewarding!I gave a presentation to my daughter’s fifth grade class about Pathology. The kids thought what we do is cool and some actually want to consider Path when they grow up!😊 Sharing a few thank you cards!

if you🔬#GUpath, you'll likely have👀these proliferations in ADPKD nephrectomies historically depicted as common, there's little data on incidence & even less on IHC/molecular Dx: papillary hyperplasia [likely non-neoplastic] ✔️our recent PMID: 42548188

You know what would be really helpful? If abstract rejections came with even one line of constructive feedback. Several people have already reviewed the abstract,why not share one useful takeaway with the authors? Sending only good vibes for #USCAP2027 abstract submissions! 😅

#GUpath #grosspath nephrectomy: renal pelvic non-invasive (pTa) papillary urothelial carcinoma

adult human who underwent nephrostomy tube placement b/c of pyelonephritis, found to have ureteral polyp #GUpath #beautyinb9 Dx: polypoid ureteritis

You all are absolutely right! This is adrenal myelolipoma! Pictured is adrenal cortex (bottom) and tumor (top). ➡️Benign tumor composed of: ✅myelo: trilineage hematopoietic marrow ✅lipoma: fat ➡️Mostly incidental but rare catecholamine excess reported.

This one is for pathology residents. One picture only! #GUpath #endopath

I just confirmed - we still have a few spots avail !!! ⏬see below⏬

WHO 6th ed Gyn path update: ➡️SBT with microinvasion (<5 mm):no longer recommended,describe descriptively. ➡️The term “microinvasive ca” for LGSC like areas <5 mm in SBT is also no longer recommended.Just call it LGSC in SBT😮 This will take some time to get used to! #gynpath

Especially with a fresh cohort of #pathology trainees out there, I thought it may be time for a #gupath refresher on #Prostate Anatomy ✴️ Did you know that its modern history can be attributed to Dr. John E. McNeal from @StanfordMed?1/n

“M is for mom” 🥹 These are the big things I live for. All noise fades away when I focus on this. ❤️

Medicine cannot substitute being present in your own life. Read below 💔

Incredibly touched by this. Please take a minute to read today. An important message for physicians everywhere

#GUpath TURBT: small cell carcinoma ➕concomitant urothelial carcinoma in situ curiously: both elements share aberrant loss of Rb1

😍#GUpath TURBT example of pT1 pap uro ca ✔️lovely clues for pT1: 🔬stromal retraction mimicking LVI (rarely is actually LVI; not worth chasing with IHC) 🔬paradoxical maturation

Deep (Aggressive) Angiomyxoma 🔑•Young women, pelvis/perineum •Large, deep-seated mass (often >10 cm) •Locally infiltrative (despite “benign” cytology) •High recurrence rate, rare metastasis   🔬 Morphology •Hypocellular spindle–stellate cells and abundant myxoid stroma •Haphazard vessels: Thin-walled capillaries and thick-walled vessels (key clue) •Entrapment of fat, nerves, adnexa → very important •No atypia / mitosis / necrosis   🧪 IHC profile •Positive: Desmin, SMA, ER / PR ⭐ (very helpful clue), CD34 variable/focal •Negative: S100 , DOG1 , CD117   🧬 Molecular: Often HMGA2 rearrangement (12q15)   🔍 Differential diagnosis 1️⃣ Angiomyofibroblastoma •Superficial, small, well-circumscribed. Alternating hypercellular & hypocellular areas. •Plump stromal cells clustering around vessels. No infiltration/entrapment •Desmin+, ER+, but location + circumscription key   2️⃣ Cellular angiofibroma ✔️ Cellular + hyalinized vessels + CD34 strong ❌ Lacks diffuse myxoid stroma & infiltration   3️⃣ Myxoid neurofibroma ✔️ S100+ + wavy nuclei ❌ No desmin/ER pattern, no vessel spectrum   💎 Diagnostic pearls:   •Deep pelvic/perineal mass •Hypocellular myxoid lesion •Thick + thin vessels •Entrapment of fat/nerves •Desmin + ER/PR +   #Pathology #SoftTissueTumor #Dermpath #GynPath #MedTwitter #PathTwitter #Histopathology #TumorBoard #MedicalEducation
