“Bug-eye” binucleation is not uncommon in well-diff “Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors” (PanNETs). I often use it as a helpful feature in cases with a differential of Acinar Cell Carcinoma (where it’s almost never seen). (FNA)

Just in time for #FNAFriday! Cytology has a low sensitivity for differentiated high-grade thyroid carcinoma (DHGTC), although a subset of DHGTCs have cytologic features raising the possibility of a high-grade thyroid carcinoma. acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… Vanda Torous MD #CytoPath

UNUSUAL morphologic pattern of “Melanoma” includes a fragmented perivascular nested architecture. This liver FNA with metastatic melanoma would have been a challenge without IHCs.

ThyroSeq testing has good negative predictive value and can help risk stratify cytologically indeterminate nodules. Routine follow-up allows for safe monitoring of nodules for features suggesting malignancy. acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cn… #CytoPath Raquel Perry Xiaoyin "Sara" Jiang, MD (She/Her)

From the signout room today - “Sea Corals”. Photogenic appearance of “Pulmonary Aspergillosis” in a bronchoalveolar lavage. (Cytospin)

Papillary thyroid carcinoma metastatic to LN: Well-formed Papillae, hypochromatic nuclei, IN grooves, and some INCIs. Intense nuclear immunoreactivity w TTF1 In anticipation of the 4th of July fireworks...?🤗🎆🎆 "Art and science". Cytopathology, what else?👑🔝#CytoPath #PathArt

BAL w/ a wild finding! Strongyloides! Pt came in w/what were described as burns but retrospectively were probably skin manifestations of an underlying immunosuppressive disorder. BAL was performed due to pulmonary sxs/ARDS of unclear etiology #CytoPath #PathTwitter #PathBugs 🐍

Almost always a reassuring finding - The eye-catching rhomboid “Amylase Crystals” are typically a feature of benign salivary gland disease, in this case, aspirated from a case of chronic sialadenitis. (Parotid FNA)

Sometimes it can be quite challenging to differentiate Oil red O pigment (red) from background pigment in pulmonary macrophages... but not this case! #CytoPath #PathTwitter For those interested, add'l reading from our group: PMID 32674937, 35597768, 35946954 😃

A fun friday finding! Anal pap with pollen 🌼🌻🌸 A specimen / lab contaminant with really no significance aside from being important not to confuse these with parasite eggs... and they are usually a pretty find! 👀😍 #CytoPath #PathTwitter
