We need more FNA studies like this one, perhaps with an additional longitudinal component to study how these clonal differences evolve over time. Lots of work to do @drruizcor @SteveLongMD @vighnesh_w @PoonamVohra3 @BalassanianRon @UCSFcytopath

[Joshua Menke, MD @pathnerd]

FNA can be uniquely leveraged to analyze site to site tumor heterogeneity in patients with follicular lymphoma using single cell RNA seq, TCR and BCR sequencing, and flow. Great work @SteveLongMD. @drruizcor https://t.co/zWldnZMbdp

@BalassanianRon @Sara_Jiang @drruizcor Thanks for attending and asking great questions Ron! Heme and cyto overlap is such a fun area to discuss. Hope to do this again next year

Lymphoma FNA!
with Josh Menke and @drruizcor
Good smears, flow cytometry and cell blocks.
Quality FNA=Quality Diagnosis

Twitter has now shown that everything we have been saying about them (and their other compatriots) is correct. Big action to follow!

Please take a few minutes to participate in this brief survey from our cytopathology hematopathology collaborative group! @DitaGratzinger @SteveLongMD @drruizcor @UCSFcytopath

Excited to be teaching ultrasound-guided FNA biopsy in Sydney with these incredible colleagues! You can see our setup with tofu and jello practice models in the photo. @UCSFcytopath

[Poonam Vohra MD @PoonamVohra3]

@UCSFcytopath excited to represent UCSF cytology ultrasound workshop at ICC, Sydney.

[Joshua Menke, MD @pathnerd]

@optimistic888 Great idea but HHV-8 and EBER are both negative.

40 year old North African man presents with 2 weeks of shortness of breath, fatigue, cough, and subjective fever. Chest CT is markedly abnormal (attached). Thoracentesis is done. Diagnosis?#UCSFcytopath #UCSFcow @ekhanafshar @SteveLongMD @vighnesh_w @evemariecrane @chriscogbillmd

[Joshua Menke, MD @pathnerd]

@TomasBarrese Yep! CD30 and CD3 are both positive (see pics from later tweet).

[Joshua Menke, MD @pathnerd]

@junghoon_sonMD @evemariecrane @ekhanafshar @SteveLongMD @vighnesh_w @chriscogbillmd Haha great thought, but CD20, other B-cell markers by flow, and EBER are all negative.

[Joshua Menke, MD @pathnerd]

@Prernaw2 @HumanPathology @ekhanafshar @SteveLongMD @vighnesh_w @evemariecrane @chriscogbillmd Spot on! CD30 and multiple T-cell markers are positive (see later tweeted pics).

[Joshua Menke, MD @pathnerd]

@kis_lorand @MoharramDr @ekhanafshar @SteveLongMD @vighnesh_w @evemariecrane @chriscogbillmd Definitely something we considered, but the neoplasm expresses CD30 and T-cell markers. See later tweets.
