I did something outside my comfort zone but it turned out to be so rewarding!I gave a presentation to my daughter’s fifth grade class about Pathology. The kids thought what we do is cool and some actually want to consider Path when they grow up!😊 Sharing a few thank you cards!

“M is for mom” 🥹 These are the big things I live for. All noise fades away when I focus on this. ❤️

Medicine cannot substitute being present in your own life. Read below 💔

Incredibly touched by this. Please take a minute to read today. An important message for physicians everywhere

Deep (Aggressive) Angiomyxoma 🔑•Young women, pelvis/perineum •Large, deep-seated mass (often >10 cm) •Locally infiltrative (despite “benign” cytology) •High recurrence rate, rare metastasis   🔬 Morphology •Hypocellular spindle–stellate cells and abundant myxoid stroma •Haphazard vessels: Thin-walled capillaries and thick-walled vessels (key clue) •Entrapment of fat, nerves, adnexa → very important •No atypia / mitosis / necrosis   🧪 IHC profile •Positive: Desmin, SMA, ER / PR ⭐ (very helpful clue), CD34 variable/focal •Negative: S100 , DOG1 , CD117   🧬 Molecular: Often HMGA2 rearrangement (12q15)   🔍 Differential diagnosis 1️⃣ Angiomyofibroblastoma •Superficial, small, well-circumscribed. Alternating hypercellular & hypocellular areas. •Plump stromal cells clustering around vessels. No infiltration/entrapment •Desmin , ER , but location circumscription key   2️⃣ Cellular angiofibroma ✔️ Cellular hyalinized vessels CD34 strong ❌ Lacks diffuse myxoid stroma & infiltration   3️⃣ Myxoid neurofibroma ✔️ S100 wavy nuclei ❌ No desmin/ER pattern, no vessel spectrum   💎 Diagnostic pearls:   •Deep pelvic/perineal mass •Hypocellular myxoid lesion •Thick thin vessels •Entrapment of fat/nerves •Desmin ER/PR   #Pathology #SoftTissueTumor #Dermpath #GynPath #MedTwitter #PathTwitter #Histopathology #TumorBoard #MedicalEducation
