GREAT time to teach the interns who are just starting out - When making cytologic smears where a neuroendocrine or lymphoid lesion is suspected - "Use the weight of the slide, not the weight of your hand." REMEMBER - "If you crush the cells, you've crushed your diagnosis." (Merkel cell carcinoma, Cervical lymph node, FNA)

Incredibly touched by this. Please take a minute to read today. An important message for physicians everywhere
"Medicine can have extraordinary meaning. But it cannot substitute for being present in your own life." In #APieceofMyMind, a psychiatrist and residency program director reflects on an unexpected #LungCancer diagnosis. ja.ma/48OxHxC

Endometrial Adenocarcinoma: Depth of Invasion – Challenging scenarios 🔬 ✅ Avoid the cornu – naturally thinner, can lead to over-staging ✅ Tumor in a leiomyoma? Include it in your invasion measurement if it’s the deepest point ✅ Invasion from adenomyosis in outer half? Stage as pT1b (per ICCR & ISGyP). Dr. Joehlin / Dr. McGregor - Short course #USCAP2026 #pathology #PathX #PathTwitter

Hi #pathology friends! Pleural effusion. Do you see what I see? 🐩 When mesothelial cells form complex arborizing groups like this - it is a good clue to mesothelioma. So .. new diagnostic term: the “poodle sign”? #PathArt

For Pathology residents - Always keep in mind, our work is about “integrating context, decoding patterns, and anticipating consequence.”

"Bag of Polys" (intracytoplasmic PMNs, image 1) remains a fairly characteristic (but not absolutely specific) cytomorphologic feature of endometrioid endometrial adenocarcinoma (even at metastatic sites, such as this abdominal washing).
