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)

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).
