A 65 year old male presented with low urine output and bone pain. On further investigation serum creatinine was high and the patient had low hemoglobin. Bone marrow biopsy showed finding in the image. What is your diagnosis? #pathtwitter #pathtweetorial #pathresidents #pathboards 
Options
Answer is multiple myeloma.
The image shows "INTRA-NUCLEAR INCLUSIONS" called "DUTCHER BODIES".
They are deposits of immunoglobulins. Intracytoplasmic immunoglobulin inclusions are called RUSSEL BODIES.
Seen in multiple myeloma, plasmacytoma, lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL).

A 48 year old male presented with submandibular swelling for 3 weeks.On examination the swelling was painless, solid, firm and immobile. Excision was performed. Hand E stained section of the tumour is shown below. What is your diagnosis? #pathtweetorial #pathboards #pathresidents
Options:
Answer is Acinic cell carcinoma -"acinic cells" (abundant finely vacuolated cytoplasm with basophilic granules, small nuclei with stippled chromatin), scattered "intercalcated duct type cells" (eosinophilic cytoplasm with moderate amount of cytoplasm and bland nuclei).
A 17-year old male presented with a breast lump . Gross and Microscopic images from the excised lump ( shown in the images). Identify the true statement? (Options in the comments) #pathology #PathTwitter #PathTwitterFamily #pathtweetorial #tweetorial #MedTwitter #pathboards
Options:
Diagnosis is juvenile papilomatosis.

Membranous type Basal Cell Adenoma (BCA).
🧨 Morphologically identical to cutaneous cylindroma, hence aka dermal analogue tumor.
🧨 This is a unique morphologic subtype that one should be aware of.

🧨 Because this particular subtype can be multifocal.
🧨 This can be associated with Brooke Spiegler syndrome, a rare AD disease caused by mutation of CYLD gene on chr 16.
🧨 This has a higher rate of local recurrence (25%) than other subtypes. 2/3

🧨 And this has high propensity for transformation into a basal cell adenocarcinoma.

Endoscopy – diffuse scalloping of the duodenal mucosa
Biopsy – Mucosal flattening
Crypt hyperplasia
Intraepithelial lymphocytosis.
IgA anti-tissue transglutaminase (anti-TTG) NEGATIVE.
So, is this not celiac disease (CD)?

High clinical suspicion for CD -check IgA levels
In IgA deficiency, IgA-TTG and IgA-EMA (anti-endomysial Ab) will be negative
Alternative tests - IgG-DGP (deaminated gliadin peptide)/ IgG TTG
HLA-DQ typing - HLA-DQ2 (~95% pts) and HLA-DQ8

Lastly, here's the colon bx of this pt showing lymphocytic colitis pattern
Microscopic colitis is more prevalent in pts w/ CD
Pts w/ MC and CD often have more severe histologic features, may require steroid rx
Response of MC to gluten free diet is not known.

🤩I am constantly marveled by the endless ways in which we #Pathology and #LabMedicine, can use Twitter to engage, share, support & learn from each other. Here is the link to my presentation that celebrates the unlimited opportunities to harness Twitter👉🏽

Like the #SolarEclipse that occurred in August 2017, to me, Twitter has been a community wide experience of marveling a visual process that can create a burst of awe at an organic velocity. It's really exciting to be engaged in this global experience.
#AcademicTwitter is using Twitter at the University and Research setting to teach. It has wide range benefits and I recommend reading the following article written by @soragnilab and @Aiims1742 published in @nature that describes this phenomenon. doi.org/10.1038/s41568…

These are the lungs of a patient who died while receiving a PLT transfusion. He developed sudden respiratory distress and did not respond to O2 support. Lungs compressed by 3000 mL of transudative pleural fluid. Notice the increased neutrophils #PathTweetorial

The above clinical scenario along with the histologic findings is consistent with which type of transfusion reaction?

Yes, the histologic findings and clinical history is consistent with Transfusion-Related Acute Lung Injury (TRALI). Second to TACO, it is the most common cause of transfusion-related morbidities and fatalities. What causes it?
