@danielsode @crimsonnyte @yro854 19. Invasive Aspergillus pneumonia vs mucinous adenocarcinoma. Read comments in the post to learn which one is which. Lung cancer can mimic pneumonia very closely!

I wish I had something like this to watch when I was starting off as a resident in #pathology but unfortunately there was no such thing in 1999! Beautifully done educational #grosspath video by @StuffIGross 🙏🏾 x.com/StuffIGross/st…
Overlap is common because these abnormalities commonly occur together.

Every week I will add my thoughts to this #pathtweetorial . I feel strongly about this topic because I see SO much smoking-related lung pathology that is misinterpreted and underrecognized. Not just SRIF (👇🏾) but also pigmented macrophages, commonly dismissed as “anthracotic”
1/4 (4-tweet thread)
A recent study in @ModernPathology
by Xie et el examined the ability of a deep convolutional neural network to diagnose which tumor in pleural effusions? #pathpolls
3/4
The authors claim the sensitivity and specificity of the deep convolutional neural network was somewhere between senior and junior cytopathologists. What were the numbers (sensitivity, specificity)?

1/ Announcing a contest to win a free pathology textbook!
Thanks to a brilliant idea by @DrMissWV and a generous offer by @science_press and @LizMontgomeryMD we are giving away a few free textbooks in an educational tweet contest called #pathbracket . See thread 👇🏾
2/
If you want to enter the contest, create a NEW educational pathology tweet between today and March 15 and tag it with #pathbracket
You must tag your own tweet. The tweet must have educational value. Tweetorials are allowed too. Contest is open to all.
3/ On March 16, #PathTweetAward judges led by @DrGeeONE will donate their time to pick 32 of the best tweets to enter in a bracket similar to #MarchMadness . Credit with the idea of a bracket goes to @DrMissWV
Progression through the bracket will be on the basis of polls.
1. How do we tell primary lung cancer from metastatic cancers from other sites?
It’s correct to say we should use all available clinical, radiologic and pathologic information, but that’s too vague to be helpful in a practical sense.
2. This #pathtweetorial is applicable mainly to #pulmpath . The principles in each organ are different. A carcinoma in a lymph node is a metastasis by definition. Not so in lung or colon.
IMHO it’s a mistake to approach a carcinoma in the lung as carcinoma of unknown primary
3. Most metastatic carcinomas to the lung occur after the primary carcinoma has already been diagnosed in another site.
💥Clinicians: give your pathologists this information! If you don’t, this is substandard, dangerous patient care.
