Smile, you don’t have leukemia!

Echinococcus protoscolex with hooklets (polarized light, Papanicolaou stain). Moral of the story: don't hang around with dogs that have hung around with sheep!

Maltese cross erythroid precursor? MDS is bad. @evemariecrane #hemepath

@Sara_Jiang @DrJosephKim you can't in 140 characters!

@DrJosephKim @Sara_Jiang yes, we have used Beaker for 2.5 years. No, not helping much!

@evemariecrane #pathJC we aren't there yet. EMR (Epic) logistics are tricky. I put addenda in if molecular or cytog clarifies dx

Please get the flow 😁 #hemepath #cytopath fusion can be hard, especially in CSF!! #pathjc twitter.com/evemariecrane/…

@feldstej @evemariecrane at least at @DukePathDept the cytochemical stain is at least as reliable and fast as flow cytoplasmic MPO...

@evemariecrane #PathJC we use MPO cytochemical on every new acute leuk and it has been quite helpful. Not antiquated at all.

@david_terrano @Sara_Jiang @drmattdenicola @evemariecrane absolutely. Having my onc friends next door helps a correct and quick dx

@evemariecrane #PathJC it is for us. I wonder about leaving them unstained and save unless the aspirate smear is poor, but we look at 2.

@CArnold_GI @Sara_Jiang @evemariecrane my little helper also has clear opinions about #hemepath (stop Tweeting and play)

@Sara_Jiang @path_JC #pathJC I ask because I see a lot of unnecessary testing and missed testing but dread the extra work!

@Sara_Jiang @jrstumph @DukePathDept but it was still separate at Hopkins when @evemariecrane and I were there

@evemariecrane @LilDocLiz1 @FRodriguezNP @Sara_Jiang I'm wondering how many pathologists directly order ancillary tests for acute leukemia.

@evemariecrane @Sara_Jiang you rang?

Does this patient have any new kittens at home?

@Sara_Jiang @crowhagen @Chucktowndoc we'll make a hematopathologist out of you yet...
