@IHC_guy @LJTafeMD Something about PEComa came to mind while you were dancing in a nightclub?

@ariella8 @JCandidoXavier @LisaRooperMD @Histopatolomon This is a lesion of young patients but in your case the giant cells look like histiocytes rather than fibroblasts and it otherwise looks like a traumatised FEP. Giant cell epulis usually has calcification or bone 🤔. Anyway it looks benign and reactive!

@davdin A bit of both but mostly the latter. NHS DP systems can only be accessed if you are an employee of that hospital / have that hospitals laptop with VPN access. If you’re from another NHS hospital even if invited you are generally blocked from accessing the case.

@AuntMinnieEuro @EUSOBIyc A previous now retired colleague once replied to the visiting medical director doing his rounds when asked what attributes he would like in a prospective new colleague “two eyes attached to a brain”; a dry wit is something I also enjoy in a colleague!

@DanielBrett5 @GersonPaull_MD @smlungpathguy It’s incredibly satisfying when you get your head together with a radiologist and work out a challenging diagnosis together! i’m very lucky to have some fantastic radiology colleagues.

@GersonPaull_MD @smlungpathguy If we don’t at least try to incorporate clinical and anatomical knowledge into our interpretation and communication of histology we will have absolutely nothing to stop AI taking our jobs in the near future.

@GersonPaull_MD @smlungpathguy It’s not that the history is not there it’s just that you need to know where to find it in the EPR, PACS or verbally. Fortunately as you know most our diagnoses can be made at brainstem level.

@DanGrahamMD @smlungpathguy For endoscopic biopsies we use the Scorpio form. As Neil Shepherd says “they don’t lie on the endoscopy form”😉🤣

@TotalCytopath Similar probability to those requests we get asking to “test for whipples” or IgG4 on this duodenal biopsy and “can you do a NTRK test on this gastric adenocarcinoma” and similar madness.
