Beautiful example of the cytoplasmic vacuolization or "string of pearls" morphology characteristic of Burkitt lymphoma in body fluids #pathsky #pathology #hemepath

Here's an interesting case of placental listeriosis. The inset shows the gram positive rods that cause this patchy necrosis and exudative inflammation. #pathsky #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

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 #pathsky #histology

Abdominal mass in a 1 year old male. This is a pretty classic example of Wilms tumor aka nephroblastoma. #GUpath #pedipath #pathsky

The wording of this diagnosis caught my eye in an old ppt. 32M h/o abd pain and diarrhea after ending steroid therapy for lupus. Histology shows suppurative inflammation limited to the submucosal layer. Phlegmonous enteritis is the given dx, though that seems to be an outdated term. #gipath #pathsky

This is a duodenal mass is a patient with inflammatory bowel disease presenting with 1 week of nausea and vomiting. What IHC do you want to order? #pathsky #pathology #histology

One could easily mistake these for histiocytes. But what if I told you these findings were associated with a flask-shaped ulcer in the cecum of a patient from Mexico? #microbiology #pathsky #pathology

Been poking through old unknowns conferences to keep surg path knowledge fresh during my hemepath fellowship. I found this striking case of gastric calcinosis from Dr. Beth Harris. This rare finding is seen with organ transplantation, atrophic gastritis, and antacids containing aluminum. #pathsky

Classic morphology in this patient with beta thalassemia plus some underlying liver disease. Target cells (aka codocytes) have excessive cell membrane compared to their cell volume, so the excess "bunches up" centrally. #hematology #PathTwitter #PathResidents #pathsky

The peripheral smear can give a preview of what you'll find in the marrow. Here we see a circulating blast, a nucleated erythrocyte, and anisopoikilocytosis with frequent teardrop cells. What do you think the marrow might look like? 🤔 #hematopathology #hemepath #hematology #pathsky

Ooh, found a nice one to share from the ol' PathTwitter account. The buzzword for this diagnosis is a "jigsaw" pattern of nested cells. Thoughts? #pathsky #dermpath #pathology

Warming up to this new platform with a few of my favorite cases from PathTwitter. This is a myelolipoma with focal osseous metaplasia. "Boneless marrow" as Dr. Dennis O'Malley likes to call it! #pathsky #hematopathology #pathology
