Great images

IMPRESSIVE psammoma bodies in an EUS-FNA of a gastric mass. CB and PAX-8 IHC confirmed metastasis from the patient's known ovarian serous carcinoma.

[Naomi Hardy @NHardy_path]

Glomus tumor – FNA of one of many reportedly painful foot nodules shows uniform round cells lining branching capillary-sized vessels. Cytology on these sometimes just shows round cell clusters, but this case had nice architecture on smears. SMA+ cute pericytic neoplasm.

[Haeryoung Kim @medannabel]

Female, late 40's, uterine mass, clinically "leiomyoma"

Any thoughts? 🙂

[Naomi Hardy @NHardy_path]

Medullary thyroid carcinoma – hypercellular FNA of mostly dyshesive, plasmacytoid cells w/ neuroendocrine chromatin, red granules (arrow), and admixed amorphous material. Calcitonin+/chromo+ and congo red+ amyloid w/ apple green birefringence (shown). Can trigger workup for MEN2.

Thanks for the tag. Agree on wanting to see neuroendocrine IHC in the panel. Look forward to seeing the results!

This is an example of squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix:
📍”Tadpole” abnormally shaped cell
📍Atypical keratinizing (pink) cells
📍Necrotic diathesis- granular debris
Screening and HPV vaccines help prevent these cancers! #NationalCancerPreventionMonth #CytoPath #GYNPath

85 y/o women
Vulvar Paget Desease with Adenocarcinoma invasive.

[Syed Z. Ali @sza_jhcyto]

CLASSIC "tissue culture" appearance of a benign mesothelial sheet, inadvertently sampled in a mediastinal FNA. The significant nuclear pleomorphism is not uncommon and such fragments should not be overcalled as "atypical".

[Patricia Szwebel @PSzwebel]

Convencional PAP smears.
Adenocarcinoma in situ
Crowded groups of Endocervical cells, with pseudoestratificación.
Elongated nucleous
Clumpping chromatin

[Naomi Hardy @NHardy_path]

Metastatic Merkel cell carcinoma in the CSF – pt w/ a known h/o the disease and suspicion for leptomeningeal carcinomatosis by imaging. Cytology shows loosely cohesive clusters of round cells w/ high N:C ratio and characteristic finely stippled, powdery neuroendocrine chromatin.
