Then the carcinoid tumor would just be showing its classic “buttonhole” architecture.

Yet another organ susceptible to prostatic metaplasia! Also interesting to speculate whether intraductal hair shafts with perductal inflammation could contribute to mastodynia in this population—

@Bayardo2014 Make sure you are not examining sclerosis and inflammation adjacent to Rosai-Dorfman disease. Please stain any areas of histiocyte/histiocyte-like cells with S100, cyclinD1, etc. RDD cells can be sparse, especially in an incompletely sampled lesion.

Wonderful to have included so many controls!

Why would vaginas resected in #genderaffirmingsurgery be carpeted by prostate? New paper showing #GYNPath in @AJSPjournal. Similar changes in hormone-treated #transgender patients and in #PediPath patients with endogenous androgen excess support a common cause!
