#slidearchiveseries urothelial carcinoma, clear cell (glycogen-rich) #gupath

🎨 IHC profile similar to conventional urothelial carcinoma (GATA3, p63)
⚠️ distinguish from metastatic CCRCC and clear cell adenocarcinoma

These are quite fun. Highly recommended.

At once, pretty and frightening

Wow, that's some brisk inflammation! Far more intense than a typical circumcision specimen. Thanks for sharing this case.

Well done! Thank you for this important work. As a pathologist who issues many prostate cancer reports, I would love to see examples of your PCPR reports. Unfortunately, the supplemental information published does not include them.

Or if you don't want to purchase a 21 year old book, just consider taking large-ish sections at the distal margin and shaving a small strip of urothelium at the proximal margins.

Beautiful technique and review of gross anatomy. One consideration from someone who has signed out hundreds of RPs: A more parsimonious approach to the distal and proximal margins can conserve resources and make it easier to localize + margins. See www.amazon.com/Surgical-Pat...

Love it.

Finnish Scholars said that Frontiers and MDPI journals “make use of the APC (Article Processing Charge) operating model and aim to increase the number of publications with the minimum time spend for editorial work and quality assessment.”

An offensive infestation of ads.

Well done, and looking sharp.

This is an old post from Twitter. A few years later, we now have the technology to include "sanitized" PDF reviews for authors and editors to read.

Congratulations, indeed!

The biohazard folks will be jellin.

Hot take #NephSky if you order a renal biopsy and are not willing or available to talk to the renal pathologist, why have you ordered this test?

The power of the renal biopsy is an exercise in clinico-pathologic correlation, it doesn’t work as other lab tests.

After a shocking shooting, Americans vent feelings about health insurance — NPR The death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson triggered a deluge of painful stories about health care denials on social media.

Brian Thompson’s assassination is a horrifying and tragic. But maybe something good will come of this renewed conversation about an industry whose _entire_ business model has been based for decades on profiting at the expense of patients and providers.
