How many cases of hyaline perisplenitis (sugar-coated spleen, sugar-icing spleen, snow-covered spleen, frosted spleen) would you like to see? Check it out on webpathology.com/images/hema… scroll to the bottom. #hemepath
I refrain from posting anything non-pathology related on this account....however, I couldn't resist sharing this with you. If you are ever in Richmond, Virginia, pay them a visit...their single malts and old-fashioned are to die for.....
Update in #HemePath - Intranodal Palisaded Myofibroblastoma; 15 images; check it out on the website under Hematopathology ➡️Lymph Node➡️Spindle & Vascular Proliferations #pathresidents#pathology
Rosai-Dorfman disease in skin -somebody please call the police - the emperipolice! An S100 protein stain highlights the nuclei (arrow) and cytoplasm of abnormal histiocytes but not the engulfed inflammatory cells in the cytoplasm (emperipolesis - engulfment without destruction).
I’m updating mediastinum section and looking for images of T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma. Anyone have a case that they would like to contribute? Thanks. #hemepath
Adult female with history of high-grade uroth. CA. Surveillance cystoscopy showed multiple yellow-tan plaques near trigone. What's your diagnosis? #gupath for #pathresidents Diagnosis & additional images in the comment below.
This bladder tumor had small cell neuroendocrine CA (90%) combined with conventional inv. high-grade Uroth. CA (10%), areas of CIS (flat and micropapillary) and adenoCIS. Here are additional images with immunos. #GUpath
Public service announcement of the day: remember that ALK alterations are not only seen in lung adenocarcinomas.
Here is an example of a carcinoid tumor with ALK fusion (extremely rare, except here at #Moffitt). We are certainly writing this one up. The IHC is ALK D5F3.
Pulmonary carcinoid tumors very rarely harbor ALK rearrangements, in contrast to non–small cell lung cancers where ALK fusions represent a well‑established oncogenic driver. The literature documents only isolated case reports, underscoring the exceptional nature of this finding. This scarcity suggests that ALK testing in carcinoid tumors is generally low yield; however, when detected, these fusions may offer meaningful therapeutic implications, particularly given the success of ALK inhibitors in other thoracic malignancies.
