A GROUNDING article…one of the very best and a must read. Stop chasing the damn moon. ‘War on cancer” ‘together we can conquer cancer in our lifetime’ If it ain’t “broken”, no need for a “fix” “ComPARe study” @AHS_CancerCare @oncology_bg apple.news/A2jQC5YPIRUCxV… @oncology_bg

@DrGeeONE @natasharekhtman @smlungpathguy @JMGardnerMD @pepeheffernan @ADamronMD @SGottesmanMD @Dr_Jukic @RunjanChetty @01sth02 @LaraHarikMD Congratulations, Leke! If there were an award for the most influential pathologist with the most impeccable good will and karma vibes from the #pathology community on X—you’d surely be the runaway winner! I am confident that you will have a splendid time at the USCAP meeting.

I am thrilled to see that my abstract has been accepted for presentation at the #USCAP2025 meeting! It would be a dream come true if I could muster enough resources to be at this meeting. It’s a first for me as lead, also, my birthday falls on one of the conference days…🤩

Can you tell which of these photos are true erythroid internuclear bridges and which ones are just cytoplasmic bridges artifactually introduced by smearing? #hemepath #anemia #pathology

@TobyASchmitt Nice! Any plans for bone marrow biopsy CD34 for blast count & CD138 for plasma cells?

For those in need of a precise Ki-67 proliferation index: Take a picture of the slide and upload the photo directly from your phone for an automated count. Try it out for free at: ihcexpert.com #pathTwitter #pathology #pathologists #ArtificialIntelligence

@judith_ferry @MGHPathology Do you do IHC routinely for cases with a single lining or low cellularity cells lining the capsule?cd68/cd3/cd20/cd30 panel?Thks

Pathologists! Here’s a classic breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BI-ALCL). Tumor cells are confined within implant capsule so prognosis is excellent. Loss of pan-T antigens is common. Always CD30+, ALK-neg. #lymphoma #breastlymphoma #breastimplant

@SatturwarSwati Heartiest congratulations Dr Satturwar! Well deserved.

Thank you dear residents for this recognition!! Thank you everyone!

@jake_bledsoe 5-10%

Btw what is your guess on the %cd34 staining of this marrow?

If AI was going to imminently replace pathologists would I be counting this manually? #hemepath #pathtwitter

In #hemepath what is more satisfying than a well-stained giemsa? #pathology #pathtwitter

@kis_lorand The squamous mucosa - it’s mysterious and enigmatic and eccentric. Same gestalt rules do not apply to different sites and even in same site kappa of reproducibility is at best average. Came across your last criteria tweetorial from 2018- it’s brilliant 🙏

Another cervical biopsy...reported as LSIL...would you agree? Same biopsy at 2 levels 👇👇 #pathology #gynpath #PathTwitter

@IHC_guy affect BLUNTED…

I'm suffering from a serious case of "distal small intestinal ennui" . . .

Lymphoma Classification Any suggestions/critiques? @AaronGoodman33 @nihardesai7 @dgermain21 @Eddie_Cliff @CharlesMilrod

@nandanp0 Neat! Truly translational and impressive. Congratulations. I guess IHC stains CD34 and CD138 can be similarly counted in bone marrow biopsy for blasts and plasma cell enumeration

Are you tired of manually counting Ki67 Proliferation Indexes for Neuroendocrine tumors? There are easier, free, and accurate ways! Join us on Tuesday at 8:45a to find out - #USCAP2024 @BIDMCpath #PathTwitter

Missed the earlier poll questions? No problem...there's still time! Please see the tweet below! twitter.com/pbpath/status/…

@mhassanaimc @PM_path @fouad_boulos @LizaMQuintana @QassidO @Cristina_VargAP @DrGeeONE @AGrabenstetter @LaurenERosenMD @Janiranavarro @kis_lorand Then I want 2 things out- send out this biopsy for a consult. And get this lesion out via a lumpectomy after the consultation which hopefully addresses the underlying uncertainty. Ck5/6 + ER if negative, will not confirm it is B9 as H&E is worrisome. Seen both + in solid UDH

@PrashantBavi @PM_path @fouad_boulos @LizaMQuintana @QassidO @Cristina_VargAP @DrGeeONE @AGrabenstetter @LaurenERosenMD @Janiranavarro @kis_lorand Good Qs: USG biopsy for solid and cystic mass. No on going Tx.

Late Friday intraductal proliferation. Is this DCIS or florid UDH? #breastpath

Pathologists! Check out this needle biopsy from a retroperitoneal lymph node in an older adult with abdominal pain. The lesion is negative for CD20 and CD3, and positive for MUM1, with high Ki67. What is your diagnosis?#Hemepath.

BASOPHILIA Talk about a neglected cell type. A search for basophilia in UpToDate sends you to a topic on the evaluation of the peripheral blood smear. Hardly helpful! The only useful review is: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31841278/ For representative cases, see: thebloodproject.com/cases-archive/…

@MBDFlanaganMD The few medical students who do get into pathology are COMMITTED. They know early on that they are doing ONLY pathology. In a way, they conform to certain unique characteristics thereby reducing diversity in the trainees. If everyone thinks alike, who will question dogma?

...how can we get more people to become pathologists? #pathologyassistants? #histotechs? #cytotechs/ #cytologists? lab techs? how can we recruit and retain the best talent in these areas?... 2/x

For anyone that hasn't keyed in on this yet, there is a major shortage *nationwide* of both #pathologists and #laboratory staff. This gets discussed a lot in pathology circles 1/x
