Interested in the crossroads of pediatric and adult GI pathology? Members can join us today at 12:00 PM EST for a free e-Learning forum. Please see the details below! #GIPS#GIpath#pathology
What do all of these beautiful cases have in common besides being found in the most exciting organ system of the body? They have all been featured as one of our Cases of the Month! Interested in sharing a case with a worldwide audience? 👀⬇️ #GIPS#GIpath
@DrLaurenceGalea Agree with the other folks below. These are trisacryl gelatin microspheres which among many utilities can be used for prostatic artery embolization to treat BPH. Great pictures!
Thanks so much to everyone that has clicked their way through our questions. It's curious, and perhaps not surprising, to see where we all land on this. We'll be sure to let everyone here know how this all shakes out.
Have 5 minutes?
A resident and I are attempting to understand reporting variability in ischemic bowel cases and would love to hear your practice through this survey. Nothing fancy, but a boots on the ground kind of project. #pathology#GIpath#UFpath

@Gut_BMJ@NStockerSAT Waldenstroms versus amyloid, favor the former. Whipples should have a subtle blue-gray tinge to the macrophages and should be PAS positive. In one panel shown here it looks negative. Great case.
UF has the highest 1y liver graft survival in US. HR of graft loss is 75% lower than the American average. Heavy work by many people and reason of great honor for us. Could not be prouder of the team! Gators strong! 🐊@UF@UFHealth@UFSurgery@ASTSChimera#livertwitter
Any thoughts on this beautiful, elegant creature that "crawled" into the colonic mucosa and presented as polyp !! I have been googling it for ages and can't find a morphologic fit with any of the adult/ larval parasitic forms that I have ever encountered. Pt is asymptomatic.
Apparently these things come in a “plasma cell light” version now? I see more treponema IHC in my future. Nice case shared by a colleague. #GIpath#IDpath#UFpath
This was a perianal lesion in a young adult. Scouring their chart revealed a brief mention of "partner recently dx with syphilis". I shudder to think what the result could have been w/o that hx.
Lessons:
- Trust no one. Always check the chart.
- It. Can. Always. Be. Syphilis.
