If your path practice is thinking about adopting AI, go lay down on the couch until that urge disappears. #PathSky

A rarity - colleague's case. Young man c/o testicular swelling for a month which he attributed to contact sports. Then upon workup was found to have a very high b-hCG and lung mets. Orchiectomy showed pure choriocarcinoma. This focus here shows LVI. #PathSky

A classic my breast attending would present on at conferences - usual ductal hyperplasia with comedo type necrosis. This finding was seen in a radial scar. Important not to overcall! #PathSky

Consult from a colleague. Radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer and incidental CIS cancerizing the ducts. A doubly justified surgery. #PathSky

Older woman with history of breast cancer. New focus found on imaging mid chemo regimen. My initial concern was heme related until these stained nicely for CAM5.2. This is treated invasive ductal carcinoma. #PathSky

Nothing particularly interesting - prostatic adenocarcinoma with a mitosis that reminds me of the Batwing. Also been experimenting with raw images on my iPhone and editing them. Curious if there's a difference in sharpness. #PathSky

Biopsy of one of multiple white patches seen in esophagus. H&E showed no acute inflammation and only the barest hint of parakeratosis. No glycogenic acanthosis either. GMS teased out these critters. #PathSky

Another case from this past week. Lung biopsy for new lung nodule suspected to be cancer. Nearly thought I had to sign out medical lung but then I saw granulomas with asteroid bodies. And then the numerous yeast! Currently pending cultures and PCR. #PathSky

It's kind of astonishing how some clinicians in the community do not do or take CME seriously. They just go through training and never get updates for the rest of their lives. It's a shame for us and for their patients.

A slightly messy set of pictures. Young female, breast mass, post partum. This is a lactating adenoma with infarction. I love seeing entities I only previously read or heard about. #PathSky

Colleague's case. They were very kind to share this with me. There was a clinical concern for malignancy and this biopsy thankfully will get the patient the appropriate line of treatment. Likely hepatic sarcoid. #PathSky

I feel like the more I hear about the state of academic medicine in the US, especially path, it really makes me wonder when the other shoe is going to drop. It seems like we're all hurtling towards imminent collapse and there'll be no one left to train the next generation. #PathSky

I saw a case that we all thought was IDC but then myoepithelial stains showed it was DCIS involving sclerosing adenosis. Absolutely terrifying.

That makes sense! Thank you for that tidbit ☺️ Re: work nemesis - I'm trying to stay positive this year because my new job has been good to me overall. I want to sustain good things in my life. He's a minor inconvenience rn... I'll try and manifest him stubbing his toe or going fully bald, etc.

I've officially made a work enemy ❤️ Anyhow something that stuck with me since residency is how these adenomas can have a shuttering artifact. Unsure why they do that. A soft sign of sorts at best. #PathSky

Looks like pleomorphic/grade 3 lobular initially. E-cad only partly lost and p120 catenin had mixed membranous and cytoplasmic expression. Areas with ductal feat elsewhere. Final dx - Invasive carcinoma with ductal/lobular features. #PathSky
