It’s like a whole colon on one slide #pathsky #pathology #GIPathology #histology #histopathology

I see this stuff quite a lot in GI biopsies, particularly the stomach. Not normally as much as in this case. Not 100% sure what it is but seems most likely to be a ‘pharmaceutical filler’ like microcrystalline cellulose #pathsky #pathology #GIPathology #histology #histopathology

A patient who bled following polypectomy had a mesenteric embolisation. Sadly he then perforated secondary to ischaemia. Mesenteric vessels are full of this black stuff - this is Onyx embolisation material #pathsky #pathology #histopathology

A huge presence in pathology, Ray was not only a brilliant pathologist but incredibly personable. He loved getting to know everybody and was always keen to chat about all sorts of different things. We will miss him for both his expertise and for the person that he was

Difficult news this week that one of my mentors and colleague Professor Ray McMahon passed away. He had been here in Manchester for such a long time, helped train me and everyone else who came through here, and for me personally a wonderful colleague since I joined the GI team as a consultant

Schaumann body - calcified inclusion in a giant cell from a colonic biopsy, Crohn’s patient #pathsky #pathology #GIPathology #histology #histopathology

Strongyloides!

Super little finding. Patient presented with abdominal pain. Here’s a gastric biopsy… #pathsky #pathology #GIPathology #histology #histopathology

I agree with you, I really wanted Liverpool to go for him a few years ago when he seemed to be having contract renewal problems at Utd. Concerned he may have stagnated beyond repair since then but as you say, for the right price…

One can understand why patients get frustrated with GPs sometimes. My wife has had a lot of trouble with De Quervain’s tenosynovitis for a few months (mommy wrist). I think steroid injection is warranted as she can’t rest it owing to baby. What has GP advised? Paracetamol.

I hope I have lots of money
I’m concerned I won’t have lots of money

Feel like I should put this on my CV (or resumé, if you prefer) #musicsky

I think it’s more that she has the charisma of a limpet

Wait are you serious?

“Trump loyalists” is a gentle euphemism for the next US government being one of utter cronyism, which is inherently corrupt

I think this is a nice example of nodular regenerative hyperplasia of the liver. You can see the nodular architecture produced by alternating hypertrophied and atrophic hepatocytes. No fibrosis. This is a cause of non-cirrhotic portal hypertension #pathsky #gipath #liverpath #pathology

No one should have to look at that much prostrate!

Who doesn’t love pathology? #pathsky

I swear Brighton, Brentford and Bournemouth spend most of the season playing each other, then occasionally beat Arsenal

Another nice case, routine duodenal biopsy. Can you see them yet? (Hint: if anyone ever tells you they have an interesting duodenal biopsy, it’s probably because of this…) #histology #histopathology #pathology #gipath #gipathology

Here is the CMV immunohistochemistry. CMV colitis!
