Let’s enjoy this cutie which pops up often on RISE and board exams, but not so frequently under the microscope! Once you see it, you’ll never forget it! A beautiful case of Sex Cord Tumor with Annular Tubules (SCTAT): • Positive for Calretinin, Inhibin, and WT-1 • Approximately one-third of cases are associated with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (STK11 mutation) #PathX #GYNpath @UMiamiPathology

An often-forgotten figure in the history of chemotherapy is Yellapragada Subbarow, the Indian chemist who discovered aminopterin, a folic acid antagonist. Aminopterin became one of the first chemotherapy agents used by Sidney Farber in the 1940s to induce remission in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, marking a pivotal moment in cancer treatment. Despite his groundbreaking contributions to medical science, Subbarow was, if I’m not mistaken, never granted a permanent faculty appointment at Harvard Medical School
Dr. Sidney Farber was a prominent #PediPath giant, head of Pediatric Pathology at Boston Children’s Hospital, who promoted and tried chemotherapy treatment for leukemias. That was the beginning of a major medical breakthrough!

Thank you all for taking part in the case I posted last Friday. I chose one of the trickier fields to share with you, because of its educational value. The additional images provide more insight into the diagnosis. Let's go over the answers 1 by 1đź§µ #breastpath #PathTwitter

“Pen Test” confirming true psammoma body (PB) as opposed to thick colloid (or mucin). Gentle pressure on the cover slip with the tip of a pen while looking at the fragment under the scope will radially fracture a true PB (Thyroid, FNA, PTC). Same fragment, before/after the test.
