Ever wonder what 'clock face' chromatin looks like? Look for blotchy, dark areas around a nucleus.

This feature, along with eccentric nuclei and paranuclear hof (pale area near the nucleus), are essential for identifying plasma cells in blood films, aspirate, and histologic samples.

A quick review of the submission guidelines for transurethral of prostate (TURP) sections. Let us know if your lab uses another guideline. I heard that some labs use age of patient to determine how many to submit? #pathsky #grossanatomy #pathology
