Introducing a new thread: super basic lung pathology for PGY1s, with arrows. If you are a PGY1, leave a comment and I will tag you in a future post.
A hamartoma is a disorganized mix of overgrown normal tissues (in their normal location) that creates a mass. Good news: they are benign!

Tweeples, can you add to this list? This is a list of IHC markers that usually stain the same but sometimes don't, providing a clue to the diagnosis. Let's examine a few scenarios. Follow the thread #ihcpath
I am a self-limited condition that may be mistaken for a more sinister process (epithelioid sarcoma->cytokeratin+)
I may appear as an annular plaque
I have granulomatous inflammation with mucin and necrobiosis (degraded collagen)
Who am I?

Both lesions have the look of reactive bone separated by cellular stroma, but differ by the presence (Osteofibrous Dysplasia) or absence (Fibrous Dysplasia) of osteoblastic rimming.
Both are benign and can be distinguished from adamantinoma & osteosarcoma by the absence of +keratin islands & absence of MDM2 amplification, respectively.

Stellar case from Dr. @ErikAWilliamsM1 . Eccrine cutaneous mixed tumor. Sections show ducts in a fibromyxoid stroma. Sequencing reveals a SOX10 internal tandem duplication in the transactivation domain (SOX10 p.L301_P302ins28). Newly described in PMID: 38266920.#UMiamiPath
