This is classic morphology for a GLI1 coamplified differentiated liposarcoma with perineurial-like whorls. So now the MDM2 amplification makes sense. The current tumor is showing essentially classical features of a GLI1 amplified soft tissue sarcoma. So the morphology/molecular explain each other.
#PathSky Laryngeal mass, older adult male. Primitive, highly vascular round cell neoplasm for the most part.

Tracheal adenoid cystic carcinoma. At high magnification (next 2 pics), areas of ‘signet-ring like’ or vacuolated, clear cell change is noted in ducts. Unknown clinical significance but when present in small biopsy material, may lead to diagnostic uncertainty.

Just published! Check out this latest article 👉🏻 HER2 amplification is rare (1.7%) in low-grade, tubule-forming breast cancers with 2+ HER2 IHC; findings suggest ISH may be unnecessary in this subset #breastpath #IHCpath #pathsky
All that palisades etc etc.Seen an endometrial stromal sarcoma with crazy palisading just like this.
#PathSky Middle aged woman, leg mass. It all looks like this. More nuclear palisading/ Verocay bodies than you’ve seen in your entire career. Nerve sheath? S100/Sox10 negative. LMS? Negative for all the muscle markers. Any other ideas?
ROFL 🤣
So- desmoid fibromatosis with bizarre cells and p53 mutant pattern- r/o Li-Fraumeni syndrome.
Happy Friday!

Beta-catenin
#PathSky Abdominal wall mass, middle aged woman. Women basically only get 3 abdominal wall tumors, so it’s got to be a desmoid, DFSP or endometriosis. Classic desmoid morphology, aberrant nuclear beta-catenin. I can hear the cries of “boring..”
Beautiful MIFS thanks.
This of course is what we now call “myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma”. Originally reported as “Inflammatory myxohyaline tumor of distal extremities with virocyte or Reed-Sternberg-like cells”. I think this older name helps us remember the distinctive diagnostic features of this sarcoma.
#PathSky 43M, forearm mass. At first glance, it looks like some kind of inflammatory process, maybe a synovitis with plasma cells, fibrosis and foamy macrophages.
Degenerating vegetable. Likely a ruptured diverticulitis with a big reactive soft tissue mass. Happy Friday!!
Those of you following my cases know the answer is usually “look at the slides some more”.
#PathSky 45 with a forearm skin tumor. Highly cellular, monomorphic spindle cell tumor with a “packeted” pattern and deep, nodular lymphoid aggregates.

Awesome!

Vaccines don’t cause autism.
Vaccine ingredients don’t cause autism. Vaccines don’t worsen autism symptoms.
Millions of data points over decades show this.
A paper published in a “journal” that funded the “study” doesn’t supersede reality.

Link to the paper that should help everyone diagnose keratoacanthoma with greater confidence.
We eventually figured out that this was a new entity, “xanthogranulomatous epithelial tumor”. Locally aggressive, non-metastasizing. They turn out to have unique HMGA2::NCOR fusions. “Keratin-positive giant cell tumor of bone” is the same thing. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38278607/
#PathSky It’s interesting how we discover things sometimes. On this particular Sunday, I got an email from an Ortho Onc asking what a JXG was. “Just a benign skin tumor.” “Well, this is deep and eroding bone.” “Erm, let me look at it…” Mostly looks like JXG, but what are those eosinophilic cells?
