I had the opportunity to have a long, humorous and very instructive conversation with the late @CFletcherMD at a slide seminar during the congress of International Academy of Pathology.
The entire pathology community will miss him.

@Dermpathl @FungMaxwell Got another "line sign" today

[Robledo F. Rocha, MD @RobledoRochaMD]

Plasma cell perineural inflammation, lymphoplasmacytic nodules at the juntion between reticular dermis and subcutaneous fat that is straight rather than jagged. These are some clues for morphea (localized scleroderma).

Glad to have had the opportunity to see such dear friends again.
Thanks to @MSangueza, who made the meeting possible.

@Dr_Stambough @JMGardnerMD Endrick is no longer part of Palmeiras squad. He will join Real Madrid in July, just after playing for the Brazilian national team in the Copa America.

An unusual case of Sweet syndrome in an asymptomatic patient without fever or neutrophilia. Skin lesions appeared after trauma, a condition known as pathergy.
Sweet syndrome is often associated with internal diseases. In this case, a serous ovarian carcinoma was discovered.

In his lecture on cutaneous adnexal tumors during the @SBPatologia Congress, @JMGardnerMD captivated the audience by speaking Portuguese and wearing a @Flamengo shirt. He is now part of the almost 50 million fans that make up the Scarlet-Black Nation.

@JMGardnerMD Peripheral entrapment of collagen bundles by hemosiderotic dermatofibroma.
Great photo!

@JMGardnerMD @phmckee1948 Great rhinosporidiosis.
Although the Greek term "rhino" indicates "nose", this infection can also be found in the eye and even in the genital tract.
In the Amazon Region, rhinosporidiosis is not that rare. Actually it is fairly commom here.

@JMGardnerMD Thanks, my friend Jerad. Everything's fine. All the best for you and your lovely family.

[Robledo F. Rocha, MD @RobledoRochaMD]

@davideyoungmd That's a good idea.

[Robledo F. Rocha, MD @RobledoRochaMD]

Granulomatous diffuse dermatitis with globose thick-walled yeasts producing blastoconidia connected by narrow connectors in chains, resembling Lisa Simpson's pearl necklace, embedded in a keloidal collagenous background, are important microscopic features of lobomycosis.

In the same way as not all that glitters is gold, not all melanonychia is a melanocytic lesion.

Can this intracorneal hemorrhage be called "talon noir" even though it is not located on the heel, but on the hallux?
Or is better to call it a "gros orteil noir"?
A question for francophones, and for #dermpath, #dermatology and #pathology lovers.

@edusqo @DrGeeONE @JMGardnerMD @SGottesmanMD @luishcruzc @NRiddleMD @Dermpathl @Histopatolomon @DraEosina @smlungpathguy @NU_Pathology It reminded me Angela's last scene in the first film of "Sleepaway Camp" franchise.
