A pathologist’s first words:

“red is dead, blue is bad.”

This picture of a slide encapsulates both in one image.

Only 53…leg. Didn’t suspect it. Only hx of prior nevi removed.
I suppose it’s obvious where the diagnosis is headed…

I only did 3 stains, probably could have used just 1, but with the lack of history I guess it felt right to super-prove it .

IHC: not pictured was a positive S100

In my practice (corp lab setting),I don’t see a lot of high stage dx, so it always bums me out. When I saw that slide👆on the tray, I already got that sinking feeling😔.But maybe🤔I should be glad that there’s now a lot more to offer pts like this one…. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Still hate giving these phone calls to my clinicians, but I guess there’s a glimmer✨of hope🤞🏻in there.
