Abdominal mass biopsy – Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST): The most common mesenchymal tumor of the GI tract, most often arising in the stomach.

🔬 Morphology: Broad and variable — spindle, epithelioid, or mixed cell types with fibrous to myxoid stroma.

🎯 IHC: CD117+, DOG1+, CD34+.

🧬 Molecular: KIT and PDGFRA mutation analysis for targeted therapy.

Interesting case with a striking myxoid background, showing just how diverse GIST morphology can be.

@UIPathology Primary effusion lymphoma?

[Israa Mohamed, MBBS @IsraaPath]

"Retroperitoneal mass" biopsy – Malakoplakia

🔬 Sheets of foamy histiocytes (von Hansemann cells) with granular eosinophilic cytoplasm and scattered Michaelis–Gutmann bodies — round, basophilic, target-like inclusions within macrophages or extracellularly.

🧫 Special stains: PAS+, von Kossa+, Prussian blue+ (highlighting calcium & iron deposition).

Often associated with chronic E. coli infection and immunocompromised states, secondary to defective phagolysosomal activity with secondary calcifications.

Vulvar biopsy – HSV infection:

🔬 Histopathology: ulcerated squamous epithelium with prominent inflammatory infiltrate. Acantholytic keratinocytes with multinucleation, nuclear molding, and chromatin margination — the classic “3 M’s” of HSV cytopathic effect.

Duodenal biopsy in HIV+ (AIDS), CD4 = 2/µL

Clinical: Episodes of melena, EGD with inflamed erythematous D2 mucosa.

🔬 Mycobacterium avium intracellulare complex infection: Intestinal mucosa with lamina propria expanded by foamy histiocytes packed with organisms, minimal inflammation. AFB+ / PAS+.

Classic opportunistic infection in advanced immunosuppression.

@Kenny92954457 Cystic adult granulosa cell tumor vs follicle cyst with torsion?

[CooperPathology @CooperPathology]

BASALOID SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA OF THE ESOPHAGUS
- Marked male predominance
- Areas of conventional in-situ or invasive SCC are relatively common
- No association with HPV
- Rule out neuroendocrine carcinoma
- Highly aggressive with worse prognosis than conventional

[Israa Mohamed, MBBS @IsraaPath]

Placenta with toxoplasma placentitis

🧫 Tissue cysts with bradyzoites ± tachyzoites may be found in Wharton’s jelly, amniotic epithelium, and villi.

🔬 Characteristic: diffuse lymphoplasmacytic or granulomatous villitis.

⚠️Often accompanied by hydrops fetalis & placentalis.

Duodenal biopsy in an HIV+ pt with chronic diarrhea:

🔬 Cryptococcus – variably sized (3.5 - 8 μm) encapsulated yeasts with narrow based budding highlighted by GMS & Mucicarmine special stains.

🧫 Cryptosporidium – tiny 2–5µm organisms attached to apical enterocyte surface.

A striking example of dual opportunistic infections in advanced immunosuppression.
