For trainees->nice exp of collagen ball in a pelvic wash sample. Not to be confused with adenoca (which may be seen as 3D structures w community borders). Collagen balls r seen in up to half of pelvic washings & r spherical masses of collagen lined by mesothelial cells

Some follicular lymphomas may appear to be BCL2-negative with commonly used IHC antibodies. Some of these cases have mutations in BCL2 that impact protein detection. Alternate BCL2 clones may be useful, as in this case.

Oh Boy! This is a stunner. Pancreatic tumor. Youngish person. Diffusely keratin positive. Was called a poorly differentiated carcinoma. Sounds reasonable? #GIpath

Kudos to all the Path educators, who are continuing teaching in these uncertain times! What do you think these beautiful (hint: rosette-like) organisms are? #microbiology #pathology

Senior residents:
Myself and others serve on @TheABPath Resident and Fellow Advisory Committee. We will be discussing the current situation on Thursday directly with Dr. Johnson.
DM me your concerns and I will anonymously communicate them on the call. #pathboards

Biopsy of an incidentally discovered 5 cm well-circumscribed retroperitoneal mass abutting the bladder in a middle aged adult. Does anyone want to hazard a guess before I show the IHC? #BSTpath #pathology

[UMass Path @UMassPath]

@FJMazorra @Swathiprabhu5 @KarenVi60104218 A is medulloblastoma, the tumor was located infratentorially, hard to diagnose by morphology only.

[UMass Path @UMassPath]

Three important pediatric tumors presented by Dr. Khedr: can you name diagnoses and associated molecular abnormalities?

[UMass Path @UMassPath]

@Drshalini01 Correct @Drshalini01. A is medulloblastoma, most common malignant brain tumor of childhood. The tumor can be WNT or SHH pathway activated.
