Did CK on bx and sure enough, little histiocytoid fragments w/ TINs +. I was humbled, big time. It still haunts me yrs later as I put chordoma in the ddx when I shouldnβt

Bx showed synovitis w/ heme, mixed inflam, foam cells and small bits of what looked like histiocytes a/w neuts. I called TGCT.

#PathSky 84M with lung nodule, signed out as βadenocarcinoma, favor pulmonary originβ. There is supposed to be a bit of TTF1 expression, but it is subtle to say the least.

The intervening cells are giant cells closely apposed to material, and non descript fibro/myofibro type cells. Iβm thinking about pseudogout. Not sure if crystal morph matches though.
