Interested in the crossroads of pediatric and adult GI pathology? Members can join us today at 12:00 PM EST for a free e-Learning forum. Please see the details below! #GIPS#GIpath#pathology
What do all of these beautiful cases have in common besides being found in the most exciting organ system of the body? They have all been featured as one of our Cases of the Month! Interested in sharing a case with a worldwide audience? šā¬ļø #GIPS#GIpath
Have 5 minutes?
A resident and I are attempting to understand reporting variability in ischemic bowel cases and would love to hear your practice through this survey. Nothing fancy, but a boots on the ground kind of project. #pathology#GIpath#UFpathufl.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/Sā¦
Thanks so much to everyone that has clicked their way through our questions. It's curious, and perhaps not surprising, to see where we all land on this. We'll be sure to let everyone here know how this all shakes out.
UF has the highest 1y liver graft survival in US. HR of graft loss is 75% lower than the American average. Heavy work by many people and reason of great honor for us. Could not be prouder of the team! Gators strong! š@UF@UFHealth@UFSurgery@ASTSChimera#livertwitter
Any thoughts on this beautiful, elegant creature that "crawled" into the colonic mucosa and presented as polyp !! I have been googling it for ages and can't find a morphologic fit with any of the adult/ larval parasitic forms that I have ever encountered. Pt is asymptomatic.
Apparently these things come in a āplasma cell lightā version now? I see more treponema IHC in my future. Nice case shared by a colleague. #GIpath#IDpath#UFpath
This was a perianal lesion in a young adult. Scouring their chart revealed a brief mention of "partner recently dx with syphilis". I shudder to think what the result could have been w/o that hx.
Lessons:
- Trust no one. Always check the chart.
- It. Can. Always. Be. Syphilis.
This is in fact a solid-tubulocystic/cholangioblastic variant of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Most commonly occurs in young adult females and is an emerging entity of sorts. IHC is fascinating and potentially misleading as they pick up synapto and inhibin.
Some fantastic colleagues recently reported NIPBL::NACC1 fusions in these tumors. This shouldnāt be too surprising as they have that āfusion lookā about them, being cytologically quite monomorphic.

Finally watching the last season of #SchittsCreek so I figured Iād share these appropriately themed snapshots.
Look mom, no eggs! #parasite#pathology
Candida in esophageal biopsies should always be considered to be possibly clinically significant and the presence of neutrophilic inflammation and tissue invasion are not required to establish a diagnosis of fungal infection. #GIPSJournalWatchpubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3194ā¦
One video from my archives. An 8y child was refd for sigmoidoscopy from a pediatric unit. 3 mth Hx of dysentery, anaemia and stunting. We put the scope in and look what we found!
