https://t.co/Ww4DWgQwKK: Angiomyolipomas (PEComa family) can affect the kidney, but are more likely to arise in the kidney and involve the adrenal gland secondarily. Classic angiomyolipomas are triphasic tumors consisting of perivascular epithelioid cells clustered around

More on infectious disease pathology ( https://t.co/FcZSxlmu8o): Disseminated disease occurs in 25-40% of patients with pulmonary blastomycosis (buzz words: "broad-based budding"), with the most frequent sites being skin, bone, GU tract, and CNS. H&E, GMS, and PAS shown. #IDpath

From the infectious disease fascicle ( https://t.co/FcZSxllWiQ): Giardia duodenalis is one of the most common intestinal parasites. On biopsy, small bowel mucosa may appear entirely normal with trophozoites in the intervillous spaces in a “falling leaves” pattern. #IDpath

One of my favorite 40x fields I've ever seen! Beautiful ladybird cells (neoplastic cells with a cytoplasmic rim of hemosiderin) in a tenosyonvial giant cell tumor. #BSTpath

More from the non-helminth infectious diseases fascicle ( https://t.co/FcZSxllWiQ): Leprosy, caused by Mycobacterium leprae/Mycobacterium lepromatosis, has diverse histologic findings; tuberculoid leprosy has perineural lymphocyte and epithelioid histiocyte infiltrates. #IDpath

More from the infectious disease fascicle ( https://t.co/FcZSxllWiQ): Rabies virus is a neurotropic, enveloped, nonsegmented, single-stranded RNA virus, and is uniformly fatal in humans once clinical symptoms start. In infected brain tissue, Negri bodies can be seen. #IDpath

This classic example of ossifying fibromyxoid tumor displays a shell of bone and uniform cytologic features; it's an H&E diagnosis. Without classic features, detecting PFH1 rearrangements (several partner genes reported) is useful. #UMiamiPath PMIDs: PMID: 2476942, 23887158.

Tumors in the skin with the morphology of leiomyosarcoma (B-D) but that are confined to the dermis (no subcutis infiltration) are termed atypical intradermal smooth muscle tumors (AISMT). This distinction is made as AISMT can recur, but has no metastatic potential. #DermPath
