A GROUNDING article…one of the very best and a must read.

@DrGeeONE @natasharekhtman @smlungpathguy @JMGardnerMD @pepeheffernan @ADamronMD @SGottesmanMD @Dr_Jukic @RunjanChetty @01sth02 @LaraHarikMD Congratulations, Leke!
If there were an award for the most influential pathologist with the most impeccable good will and karma vibes from the #pathology community on X—you’d surely be the runaway winner!
I am confident that you will have a splendid time at the USCAP meeting.

Can you tell which of these photos are true erythroid internuclear bridges and which ones are just cytoplasmic bridges artifactually introduced by smearing? #hemepath #anemia #pathology

@TobyASchmitt Nice!
Any plans for bone marrow biopsy
CD34 for blast count & CD138 for plasma cells?

@judith_ferry @MGHPathology Do you do IHC routinely for cases with a single lining or low cellularity cells lining the capsule?cd68/cd3/cd20/cd30 panel?Thks

@SatturwarSwati Heartiest congratulations Dr Satturwar! Well deserved.

@kis_lorand The squamous mucosa - it’s mysterious and enigmatic and eccentric.
Same gestalt rules do not apply to different sites and even in same site kappa of reproducibility is at best average.

Came across your last criteria tweetorial from 2018- it’s brilliant 🙏

Lymphoma Classification

Any suggestions/critiques?

@nandanp0 Neat! Truly translational and impressive. Congratulations.

I guess IHC stains CD34 and CD138 can be similarly counted in bone marrow biopsy for blasts and plasma cell enumeration

Missed the earlier poll questions?
No problem...there's still time! Please see the tweet below!

@mhassanaimc @PM_path @fouad_boulos @LizaMQuintana @QassidO @Cristina_VargAP @DrGeeONE @AGrabenstetter @LaurenERosenMD @Janiranavarro @kis_lorand Then I want 2 things out- send out this biopsy for a consult.
And get this lesion out via a lumpectomy after the consultation which hopefully addresses the underlying uncertainty. Ck5/6 + ER if negative, will not confirm it is B9 as H&E is worrisome. Seen both + in solid UDH

Pathologists! Check out this needle biopsy from a retroperitoneal lymph node in an older adult with abdominal pain. The lesion is negative for CD20 and CD3, and positive for MUM1, with high Ki67. What is your diagnosis?#Hemepath.

BASOPHILIA

Talk about a neglected cell type.

A search for basophilia in UpToDate sends you to a topic on the evaluation of the peripheral blood smear. Hardly helpful!

@MBDFlanaganMD The few medical students who do get into pathology are COMMITTED. They know early on that they are doing ONLY pathology.

In a way, they conform to certain unique characteristics thereby reducing diversity in the trainees.

If everyone thinks alike, who will question dogma?
