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 #CytoPath

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. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… #pathology #hemepath

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

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

Can't say I ever saw this before when I saw it - a clear cell RCC that had a focus of oncocytoma sitting right at the edge. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Stain is CD117. Collision tumors maybe? #gupath #pathology #weirdness
