#PathSky 30M, s/p MVA, eventually required foot amputation. Sxns from the amp were sent elsewhere, where the dx of “histiocytic sarcoma” was made. Agree?

It always bothers me when authors refer to patients as males/females (as nouns) in scientific papers. We ask authors to change it for IJSP

Here is a great explanation! bit.ly/42bBWkH
Gender
Gender offers an added layer of specificity when interpreting patterns or phenomena of human behavior. Authors are strongly encouraged to explicitly designate information about the gender identities of the participants making up their samples rather than assuming cisgender identities.

there isn’t a week that goes by
when I don’t remind the people I
know to protect themselves from
their own careers and education.

placing your whole identity upon
those is a lose-lose situation
—for every side of you.

Just learned about bluesky! For a first post, here is an image of ductal type prostate cancer. Diagnostic criteria can be controversial but common features are columnar cells and papillary structures. Typically considered grade 4. #GUpath

Rare tubular patterned seminoma proven by OCT 4 with an unusual inter tubular pattern. On H&E, I thought a sex cord stromal tumour was a possibility. Never be ashamed of using IHC in the testis.
