🚨 Ever find yourself in need of a cellular cell block for #cytopath workup? Here is my "bulletproof" way of getting it!
You'll need:
1. Conical vial (lab)
2. Sheep's agar (micro)
3. Plating loop (micro)
4. Plasma/Thrombin (blood bank)
5. Wrapping paper (histo)

1. Spin down your fluid in a conical vial at high rpm (~1200) for 6-8 mins and remove supernatant
You'll have a soft slurry.
2. Add 3 drops plasma, 3 drops thrombin and spin again to form clot

3. Cut out 2 squares of agar
4. In one square, scrape away a shallow "bowl" to place your clotted cell slurry
5. In the other square, trim in 1/2 and use the thin flap to cover the slurry in an agar sandwich. Agar protects pellet from dissolution!

Hi #pathology tweeples! I just realized that the callus I have on my pinky is from using it to steady my hand as I dot 😂(with my green pen of course 😉). I must dot A LOT! 💪🔬
I have some #path (mostly) dotting related questions out of curiosity.

@BIDMCpath
The #pathology tweeples have very strong opinions about dotting pen color! My tweet is inspired by this from @Chucktowndoc
Does anyone else have a dotting pen-induced callus? (Just me? I hope I'm not alone. 🤞😊)
I just created my own Hashtag: #CytoPro

🤩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…

#Melanoma can look like anything: a #Tweetorial
Most melanomas are fairly easy to recognize but the outliers are pretty crazy.
Like this example with signet ring cells 👇🏾👇🏾

* Proliferation spheres (cell balls) are solid with stromal cores in mesotheioma unlike carcinoma

* In peritoneal effusion however, PsB may be associated with benign mesothelial hyperplasia, endometriosis etc
* Not all ca. show cell balls- SCC, ILC, Signet ring ca

Rhabdomyosarcoma is indeed the top-level diagnosis... but more importantly, what type??
Note: several H&E patterns here that correspond nicely to the patterns on cytology.

Note the multiple patterns here - and see how they relate to myogenin staining.
This is an uncommon example of mixed-histology rhabdomyosarcoma.
Classic Embryonal - variable myogenin
Dense Emb/Solid Alveolar - strong, diffuse myogenin
Sclerosing - Weak/absent myogenin
