We are so lucky to have this star at Emory Cytopath! Congrats, @doc_kartik!.

Check out this fantastic article by our fantastic former fellow @Yalwelaie . Congrats, Dr. Alwelaie!.

Congrats to 2021-2022 Emory cytopath fellows Drs. Frances Feng and James Roberts (@DrJames_Roberts) on being newly-minted board-certified cytopathologists! We are all so proud of you!. #cytopath #cytopathology #cytoparty #celebration

FNAC of monophasic synovial sarcoma showing:.*Overlapping clusters of uniform spindled cells.*Bland spindled nuclei with hyperchromatic and finely granular cytoplasm.*Tapered fibrillary cytoplasmic processes. #softtissuepath #cytopath #cytology

Celebrating our outgoing fellows Drs. Frances Feng and James Roberts @jrob0418. You two did an outstanding job this year and we will miss you both @emorycytopath. Don't be strangers!.@MichelleReidMD @KrisztiHanleyMD @doc_kartik @dannyjlubinpath @JudyShi8

Cytomorphologic features of thyroid nodule THADA fusions- an article by current cytopathology fellow Dr. Roberts and fabulous thyroid guru @doc_kartik!.

RT @MichelleReidMD: Just presented our multi institutional study examining the Cytologic Features of Intraductal Papillary Neoplasm of Bile….

Congrats to Drs. Frances Feng and Qun Wang on their work studying HPV genotyping in pap smears performed @EmoryPathology! #gynpath #cytopath

We have an unexpected Cytopathology Fellowship position available for this coming academic year 2022-2023!.Come join our fam in ATL!.Email michelle.reid@emory.edu for information. #pathtwitter #cytopath #cytology.

Rosai-Dorfman disease of a lymph node:.*Large histiocytes with round nuclei, fine chromatin and small nucleoli showing emperipolesis of lymphocytes, plasma cells, and RBCs. Histiocytes are S100 positive, confirming the diagnosis. #FNAFriday #cytopath

THIS WEEKEND- @pathologyCast hosts a fantastic lineup of #GIPath and #Pancpath talks including our own @MichelleReidMD discussing bile duct cytology. Not to be missed!.

RT @KyleBradleyMD: Blood smear from a patient with COVID-19 infection. As with most viral infections, COVID is associated with reactive ly….

Cytologists! Did you know that NR4A3 IHC is highly sensitive/specific for salivary gland acinic cell CA (including those w high-grade transformation) with reliable results in #cytopath cell blocks?. See this article by our ⭐️ @doc_kartik et al. for deets:.

By definition IOPNs are graded as showing "high grade atypia." Ddx includes IPMN + MCN, but unlike those IOPN has oncocytic cells w scant cytoplasmic/background mucin. Wanna learn more about the cyto of IOPN? Check out this article by @MichelleReidMD:.

Pap shows branching papillae w large oncocytic cells w low N:C, large vesicular nuclei + prominent nucleoli. Cell block shows edematous papillae w bland pseudostratified oncocytic cells w scant amounts of thick background mucin. Dx: Intraductal oncocytic papillary neoplasm.2/

Let's dive deeper into this case from @MichelleReidMD . Female pt with incidental pancreatic cyst communicating with the pancreatic duct, which was dilated to 1.2 cm. Diff Quik shows sheets of large bland epithelial cells w granular magenta cytoplasm and low N:C ratio. 1/

Of course molecular can also be helpful! .Secretory CA characteristically shows rearrangements involving ETV6-NTRK3. Want to learn a helpful algorithm to approach salivary gland FNAs? Check out this recent reference by @dannyjlubinpath (PMID 33136345):.

The main DDx for salivary gland tumors with abundant granular to vacuolated cytoplasm is acinic cell CA and secretory CA. These can be distinguished by IHC:.Acinic cell CA: NR4A3+, DOG1+; neg for S100, Mammaglobin.Secretory CA: S100+, Mammaglobin+; neg for DOG1, NR4A3.

Let's start with an FNAC of a parotid mass:.Diff-Quik shows clusters of cells with vacuolated cytoplasm including occasional cells with single large vacuoles and eccentric nuclei.IHC: +S100, +Mammaglobin; DOG1 negative.Dx: Secretory carcinoma (formerly MASC).#entpath #cytopath

We intend to use this page to highlight our academic contributions to the field of cytopathology and showcase the diversity of our cases. Tweets will be made by current faculty and trainees. #cytopath #cytology.
