Back to the basics Tuesday.

This patient has extensive high grade DCIS, but that’s not the question.

The question is: how many ducts and how many lobular units do you see in this low power (2x) snapshot?

Is it all ducts? Is it one big TDLU? is it one duct and multiple lobular units? Is it “I don’t know and I don’t care”? 🙂

Let me know.

Lipoid subtype of urothelial carcinoma can truly mimic a well dif liposarc. Adding to the confusion is the frequent MDM2 amplification that can be seen in both. Key is to identify conventional UCa. Not uncommonly, the lipoid component loses keratin expression. #gupath

Great example of high-grade myxofibrosarcoma of the leg! Grade 3. Not treated. Lovely low power impression of lower grade areas transitions to high grade!

The perils of universal p16 ordering on cervical biopsies
😲some LSIL will be p16 positive
🫣 there’s no correlation with biological behaviour
🫨 don’t call it HSIL unless you also have atypia extending into the mid third…. Be brave!
