We are so lucky to have @bjmagnani as our toxicology expert Tufts Medical Center. She has taught us so much and it’s great to see her in action here on ABC.

>50 y.o. patient. Testicular mass. No IHC. Morphologic clues: small intermediate large cells, the characteristic chromatin pattern seen in a subset of the larger cells and apoptotic bodies. These tumors are indolent, unless they undergo sarcomatous transformation (very rare).🌰🌰

Definitely!! I may have gone down a rabbit hole 😬 on an autopsy case with this pitfall...! @MonikaPilichow1 @TuftsMCPath
#PathPitfall, Frozens Edition: If you're freezing a node for mets and you see squamous cells in lymphoid tissue, knee-jerk response is: met SCC! BUT don't forget the thymus! Foci of ectopic thymic tissue may be present throughout neck, mediastinum and be sampled as "lymph node"

So many burrs!

So hard to communicate how important the job of Pathologists’ Assistant is to medicine!! The gross is key to diagnosis! #PathAssist
As a patient relying on a diagnosis, as a person pursuing a career in pathology, as a pathologist, surgeon or oncologist, and as an employer or hospital administrator, it pays to know the value of a certified pathologists’ assistant. 🔪♥️

Exactly why I chose pathology. “Because I loved everything.”

Overtime we have discussed a good collective noun that describes a group of pathologists; today I came up what I think is the best it captures all subspecialties: “A Discovery of Pathologists” please retweet @BenMazer @JMGardnerMD @smlungpathguy @KMirza @HermelinMD @01sth02
