We are so lucky to have this star at Emory Cytopath! Congrats, @doc_kartik!

[Cancer Cytopathology @CancerCytopath]

Meet our next Rising Star in Cytology: @doc_kartik of @EmoryPathology! 🌠

Dr. Viswanathan has not only excelled academically in his brief career but is also a gifted educator who has given several international talks focused on #ENTPath & #CytoPath.

Rosai-Dorfman disease of a lymph node:
*Large histiocytes with round nuclei, fine chromatin and small nucleoli showing emperipolesis of lymphocytes, plasma cells, and RBCs.
Histiocytes are S100 positive, confirming the diagnosis.

THIS WEEKEND- @pathologyCast hosts a fantastic lineup of #GIPath and #Pancpath talks including our own @MichelleReidMD discussing bile duct cytology. Not to be missed!

[pathCast @pathologyCast]

Join us this weekend for an exciting 2-day #GIPATH #PANCPATH course from @pbpath. We'll be hosting 6 didactic lectures and 2 slide seminars! 🔬

🗓 Jan 29, 2022 - 8-11:15 AM (NYC)

Blood smear from a patient with COVID-19 infection.

As with most viral infections, COVID is associated with reactive lymphocytes.

More specific (and common!) findings are plasma cells and dysplastic neutrophils.

Cytologists! Did you know that NR4A3 IHC is highly sensitive/specific for salivary gland acinic cell CA (including those w high-grade transformation) with reliable results in #cytopath cell blocks?

See this article by our ⭐️ @doc_kartik et al. for deets:

[Emory Cytopathology @EmoryCytopath]

By definition IOPNs are graded as showing "high grade atypia." Ddx includes IPMN + MCN, but unlike those IOPN has oncocytic cells w scant cytoplasmic/background mucin.

Wanna learn more about the cyto of IOPN? Check out this article by @MichelleReidMD:

Let's dive deeper into this case from @MichelleReidMD

Female pt with incidental pancreatic cyst communicating with the pancreatic duct, which was dilated to 1.2 cm

Diff Quik shows sheets of large bland epithelial cells w granular magenta cytoplasm and low N:C ratio.

[Emory Cytopathology @EmoryCytopath]

Pap shows branching papillae w large oncocytic cells w low N:C, large vesicular nuclei + prominent nucleoli. Cell block shows edematous papillae w bland pseudostratified oncocytic cells w scant amounts of thick background mucin.

Dx: Intraductal oncocytic papillary neoplasm

Of course molecular can also be helpful!
Secretory CA characteristically shows rearrangements involving ETV6-NTRK3.

Want to learn a helpful algorithm to approach salivary gland FNAs? Check out this recent reference by @dannyjlubinpath (PMID 33136345):

Let's start with an FNAC of a parotid mass:
Diff-Quik shows clusters of cells with vacuolated cytoplasm including occasional cells with single large vacuoles and eccentric nuclei
IHC: +S100, +Mammaglobin; DOG1 negative
Dx: Secretory carcinoma (formerly MASC)
#entpath #cytopath

[Emory Cytopathology @EmoryCytopath]

The main DDx for salivary gland tumors with abundant granular to vacuolated cytoplasm is acinic cell CA and secretory CA. These can be distinguished by IHC:
Acinic cell CA: NR4A3+, DOG1+; neg for S100, Mammaglobin
Secretory CA: S100+, Mammaglobin+; neg for DOG1, NR4A3

We intend to use this page to highlight our academic contributions to the field of cytopathology and showcase the diversity of our cases. Tweets will be made by current faculty and trainees.
