In honor of upcoming Valentine’s Day here is a classic example of rosette-forming glioneuronal tumor. These grade 1 tumors typically show a hotspot mutation in FGFR1 along with PIK3R1 or PIK3CA alterations and are usually found in the fourth ventricle 🌹 ♥️ 🥀 🧠 🔬 #pathsky #neuropath #medsky

#PathSky 43F with a solitary lung mass. Relatively circumscribed, nests and interesting micropapillae of lightly eosinophilic epithelioid cells. Negative for everything except TFE3. Dx?

Just like Texas rarely sees snow ❄️, every once in a while you will find a primary tumor of the posterior pituitary so keep it in mind during frozen section analysis! Here is a classic example of pituicytoma showing diffuse nuclear positivity for TTF1 #pathsky #neuropath #medsky 🔬 🧠

#PathSky 32M with extra-axial, dural-based, frontoparietal mass. Clearly malignant epithelioid cells arranged in cords and nests in a sclerotic background. Looks a lot like a sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma, and it is strongly MUC4-positive. So, we’re done, right?

Asteroid hyalosis is an aging-associated condition of the eye where calcium and phospholipids build up giving the eye a grossly “glittery star-like” appearance (hence the name). Here is a vitreous cytology specimen before and after polarization showing the material 💫 👁️ #pathsky #medsky

Some tumor look-a-likes on this Friday: Chordoid meningioma and chordoma can share similar features of cords of cells in a myxoid background. Chordoma shows diffuse nuclear Brachyury expression whereas chordoid meningioma is positive for SSTR2 helping to differentiate the two 🧠 #pathsky #neuropath

#worldprematurityday2024 Our daughter was born at 28 weeks and is now a happy healthy almost 3 year old! @mjcampbell.bsky.social was amazing and handily played both doctor and dad roles! Fun fact: my dad was also born prematurely (both born in December). Wild to see his picture next to hers!

According to my husband I only have two interests: surgical pathology and horses 😂 This is my OTTB, When You Wish (name credits to @mjcampbell.bsky.social) “Star” who was given to me 7 years ago by one of my early horse mentors (it’s a long story lol). Anyway I love her to pieces #eqbsky 🐎🦋
