The life of a hematopathologist is full of uncertainty….. 🤷🏻‍♀️ So you know all there is to know about CCUS …. But did you know about TCUS?? #SH23 #hemepath #lymsm

Have you had a pediatric B-ALL with very mature features previously, that made you question whether you are dealing with a B-cell lymphoma instead? Below is a similar case: Starting with CD38 expression: It is not as "dim" as you would expect it to be in B-ALL #Hemepath #Leusm

Rosai Dorfman vs. Erdheim Chester… while clinically very different.. histopathology can overlap (both histiocytic, but many morphological clues to ddx) #histiocytosis Here is a nice visual summary on how to distinugish these two, from Dr rui at #hemepathMDA #hemepath

Stage III Hematogones can express CD5, and this may cause overinterpretation as residual CD5+ B-cell lymphoma. Let's go through 2 examples below that nicely illustrate this⬇️ ICCS_Education Véronique Saada #hemepath #Xpath #PathTwitter #MedTwitter #surgpath #lymsm

Make sure to attend our #AABBjc on Dec. 5-6! I will be moderating with John Sherbeck MD! We will discuss the guidelines for RBC transfusion. This is not only for our #TransfusionMedicine folks but also interesting discussion for all our #MedX community! See you all there!

Not only can the eosinophil-rich variant of nodal marginal zone lymphoma mimic angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), this is true the other way around too: AITL, particularly the EBV-NEGATIVE ones with a MONOTYPIC plasma cell population, can show striking morphologic

Viral infections may show striking T-cell atypia; which in the absence of adequate clinical history, may be worked-up for T-cell lymphoma Below are pictures from a peripheral blood smear of a patient with an acute viral illness & remarkable lymphocytic atypia #hemepath #lymsm

In fact: if you see MDS with increased blasts and increased ring sideroblasts.. there's a pretty good chance you're dealing with TP53 mutated MDS as shown nicely in this study in Leukemia Journal nature.com/articles/s4137… 8/
