Interesting case with zebra bodies restricted to scattered endothelial cell cytoplasm. Pt is on hydroxychloroquine which is the likely etiology for these findings. #renalpath#pathtwitter
Acral hidradenocarcinoma: not every solid and cystic sweat gland carcinoma on acral sites is digital papillary adenocarcinoma. Fortunately IHC for S100/SOX10, p40/p63 and SMA is a simple way of reliably separating them. #isdp2023 @JCandidoXavier
I’ve seen this AMAZING cytomorphologic feature over and over and over again in metastasis of “Small Cell Carcinoma” in serous effusions; 3-D balls of malignant cells simulating breast ductal carcinoma. (Cytospins and Cellblock, Pleural Fluid)
