Yolk sac tumour showing vascular invasion.

I should have been at #USCAP25 until the Heathrow disaster. However, not being here enabled me to go to my mum’s 96th birthday party on Sunday unexpectedly. Not going was all worth it when she saw me. Family over work. Every time.

Is this a corpus amylaceous or a crystalloid? Very non binary….can’t exist….

Reasons why Barts is the best hospital to work in…you can nip out for a Beetroot Latte!!

An unremarkable bronchial carcinoid with vascular invasion. Until you learn the IHC is for ACTH…

Name that stain ( the blue one!). Suggested by my resident to help decision on vascular invasion…

Long in the tooth as I am, this diagram on criteria for VI in follicular thyroid tumours remains invaluable.

Immunosuppressed patient with renal failure and a lymphadenopathy. Any ideas on the diagnosis and the diagnostic immunochemistry? #histopathology

Great lectures in the Thames Deanery endocrine day, with hats off to Dr Iacovazzo, on molecular thyroid pathology and Dr Juhlin all the way from Stockholm on adrenal neoplasia! Let’s hope they join us where the sky is blue soon!!

Rare tubular patterned seminoma proven by OCT 4 with an unusual inter tubular pattern. On H&E, I thought a sex cord stromal tumour was a possibility. Never be ashamed of using IHC in the testis.

Foreskin in a male in his 70s. Deep inflammation with many plasma cells. Never forget syphilis at any age! Nicely demonstrated on immunochemistry ( Indint miss Warthin-Starry!)

I have seen Psammoma bodies in follicular adenomas, Hurtle cell adenomas, and this year Medullary carcinomas. #endopath

The Mercedes Benz sign in pathology. Never good news.

Not an uncommon finding in an East London bladder!

Think I look more relaxed lecturing than I did 25 years ago! Royal College of Pathologists BAUP meeting this morning!

Always a pleasure to go to the loo at the Royal College of Pathologists…

A nasty testis in a teenager. Any guesses? #pathsky #gupath

And for #pathsky: an SDH deficient renal cell carcinoma on biopsy. Note the vacuoles and loss of SDH in the tumour cells.
Took me a while to convince geneticists I was making this up and they kept insisting on Mismatch repair testing!! 🙄 #gupath

Doing a room clear and came across this programme for Bill Hendry’s (RIP) ‘Festschrift’ in 2000. So many famous urologists in the programme! #urology many RIP. Blandy, Christmas, Vale, Neal, Gillatt, Whitfield..:giants!!! Bill was one of the few urologists I know who understood pathology!

Two testis pathology specimens. Not from the same patient. Fortunately! Any guesses? Both young men. #pathsky

Is anyone out there who knows what these cells are?
