A classic my breast attending would present on at conferences - usual ductal hyperplasia with comedo type necrosis. This finding was seen in a radial scar. Important not to overcall! #PathSky

Consult from a colleague. Radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer and incidental CIS cancerizing the ducts. A doubly justified surgery. #PathSky

Older woman with history of breast cancer. New focus found on imaging mid chemo regimen. My initial concern was heme related until these stained nicely for CAM5.2.
This is treated invasive ductal carcinoma. #PathSky

Nothing particularly interesting - prostatic adenocarcinoma with a mitosis that reminds me of the Batwing. Also been experimenting with raw images on my iPhone and editing them. Curious if there's a difference in sharpness. #PathSky

I swear I see more interesting breast diagnoses in private practice than I ever did at academic institutions. Invasive micropapillary carcinoma from today's pile. #PathSky

Update: Cultures grew Crypto neoformans.
Another case from this past week. Lung biopsy for new lung nodule suspected to be cancer.
Nearly thought I had to sign out medical lung but then I saw granulomas with asteroid bodies. And then the numerous yeast!
Currently pending cultures and PCR. #PathSky

Biopsy of one of multiple white patches seen in esophagus. H&E showed no acute inflammation and only the barest hint of parakeratosis. No glycogenic acanthosis either. GMS teased out these critters. #PathSky

I'm slowly realizing one of the breast surgeons may not understand that there's breast tissue in the axilla...

It's kind of astonishing how some clinicians in the community do not do or take CME seriously. They just go through training and never get updates for the rest of their lives. It's a shame for us and for their patients.

A slightly messy set of pictures. Young female, breast mass, post partum. This is a lactating adenoma with infarction.
I love seeing entities I only previously read or heard about. #PathSky

Gastric biopsy in an older male with a history of anemia. If I weren't in private practice I would have done the iron stain but I did the next best thing and confirmed he was taking iron sulfate. #PathSky

Colleague's case. They were very kind to share this with me. There was a clinical concern for malignancy and this biopsy thankfully will get the patient the appropriate line of treatment. Likely hepatic sarcoid. #PathSky
