Biopsy with gastritis on scope. Epithelial stripping, dense inflammatory infiltrate in the lamina propria, and thick subepithelial collagen band highlighted on trichrome -> collagenous gastritis.
No significant neutrophil population and H. Pylori negative.
#PathSky
Ulcerated skin lesion. Sheets of immature cells, mitoses +++, eosinophilic myelocytes (eosinophilic granular cytoplasm); MPO and CD43+
Haem team is very good and never fails to give the key history of AML.

Gratuitously posting this because I think kidney tumours are rewarding. Chromophobe RCC, plant-like cell walls and wrinkled nuclei. Very pretty staining for Hale’s colloidal iron. (Tumour was 133 mm!)
