Splenic marginal zone lymphoma➡️look for these 2 zones:

🩸Central zone of small lymphocytes replacing reactive germinal centers

🩸Peripheral zone of small/medium-sized cells with abundant pale cytoplasm, resembling marginal zone cells

Why grossing is important in pathology??
Because cases like this can be staged even before looking at the slides.

An awesome case to start 2025
71M, retroperitoneal mass/adenopathy. No other lesions.
Round cells of intermediate size,
Scant cytoplasm,
Clumped chromatin,
Very isolated nucleoli, mitosis.
What do you think? 🤔🤔

Progressive transformation of germinal centers #PathTwitter
- Characterized by enlarged nodal lymphoid follicles with ingress of mantle zone B cells into the germinal centers.
- Associated with previous, concurrent or subsequent lymphoma, particularly NLPHL.

What is the diagnosis of this papillary lesion? 🔬

Answer to be posted on Monday

[Raza Hoda, MD @RazaHoda]

The answer was tall cell carcinoma with reversed polarity (TCCRP).

TCCRP may show morphologic overlap with other papillary lesions, but is distinguished by its striking reversed arrangement and papillary thyroid carcinoma-like nuclear features.

Questions to pathologists in training and practicing pathologists:

What are your pain points in breast pathology?

In what areas do you think your training and available textbooks did not offer you sufficiently clear information?

What would you really like to have as a resource that you don't currently have?

I would love to hear your thoughts. Please share them with reckless abandon :)
