"BOW TIE". Papillary thyroid carcinoma. #FNA Thyroid. #Entpath #endopath #pathology #pathtwitter #PathTweetAward @MSWPathology @MyCytopathology @SamKhader

“Vortex”, incipient tornado (or “onion skinning”), a subtle but helpful diagnostic feature of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma. (FNA)

“The Two Eyeballs”, located by my able fellow “John Sanchez” @JRS0298 in a case of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma from today’s signout. (FNA)

Textbook case, straight from the scope - “Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Bladder” (Voided urine, ThinPrep)

MELANOMA getting “spindlier”. (Lung, FNA)

My “CASE of the week” for inhouse cyto signout, illustrating the remarkable phenomenon of how the “bag of polys” are recruited by the “endometrioid endometrial adenocarcinoma”, even at metastatic sites. This case is an abdominal fluid involved by the pt’s known EM CA.

TWO, often overlooked cytomorphologic features of Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma on FNA - Intranuclear inclusions and focal nuclear pleomorphism/anisonucleosis.

Incidental finding. #pathology #headandneck #PathTwitter #ENT #ENT_Pathology #headandneckpathology

“Squiggly Worms” - GIST. (FNA, Abdominal Wall)

MYOEPITHELIAL cells stained with Giemsa on a parotid FNA are most photogenic. Although the DD here involves a “Myoepithelial Neoplasm”, other areas in the case had classic features of a “Pleomorphic Adenoma”.

FNA of a tracheal mass:

DQ-stained cytospin preparation of pleural fluid with metastatic small cell ca. On the left you see a group of cells with ⬆️N:C ratio, finely granular chromatic, and molding. On the right you can appreciate the “single file”, “vertebral column”, or “stack of coins" arrangement.

What are these gorgeous pink structures? Where are you most likely to find them (surprisingly, it's NOT sarcoidosis!)? Answer & more pics here: kikoxp.com/posts/5569. #pathology #pathologists #pathTwitter #dermpath #dermatology #dermatologia #dermtwitter

Straight from the ultrasound room - Recurrent “ Fibrolamellar Carcinoma” (Fibrolamellar Hepatocellular Carcinoma). Liver FNA in a young boy.

Pleural fluid in a patient with history of of #AML. It’s imperative to review the peripheral blood flow cytometry or smear in cases with abundant red blood cells. Some of these cells are suggestive of blasts; however, peripheral blood contamination cannot be excluded. #CytoPath
