1.
Multiple tweet thread #tweetorial on pathologic abnormalities in the lung caused by cigarette smoking

Smoking causes a wide variety of pathologic changes in the lung, not just lung cancer. Some of these are underrecognized or poorly named

#smokinglungpath #pulmpath
2.
These smoking-related abnormalities include:
💥 Emphysema
💥 Pigmented airspace macrophages
💥 Ropy interstitial fibrosis (SRIF)
💥 Pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis

Overlap is common because these abnormalities commonly occur together.
3.
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
2/4
Correct answer: lung adenocarcinoma.

nature.com/articles/s4137…
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)?

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.

Here I offer some tips. #tweetorial
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.
