Why a blog?

Information regarding Histopathology in particular, and Anatomical Pathology in general, is so vast that in my four-year study, I sometimes got lost in navigating my way in terms of what I really should study for exams.  How to pass the exams, sadly, is not the same as how to navigate your life as a full-fledged Pathologist, so I am told.

Thankfully, my friends and I had dedicated teachers who kept drilling us on the final two months, on what to remember for the exams.  It may seem like a training in pattern recognition (hence the deviation from real life), but remember that our undergraduate exam is a training in pattern recognition too?  Such as ABCDs of Resuscitation, how to recognise 5%, 10% and 20% dehydration, and so on.  Similar difference.

As in today, I am barely 1 week old junior specialist.  My aim here is to put as much Pearls of Wisdom (or POWs as I will put it) from our dedicated teachers, which I have written as notes.  Hopefully it will help someone,and it will also be my way of not losing track of what I learned.

8 L's and DRUGS

I am so happy that I found an educational gem by Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology , a private pathology lab in Australia.  There are some videos of live lectures that one can find here.  I am particularly excited (and maybe starstruck) to find Professor  David Weedon's lectures here -- as I am particularly fond for Dermatopathology. A particular thing I learned today from Professor David Weedon was a checklist mnemonic for perivascular infiltrate in the skin: 8L's and DRUGS Light reaction Lymphoma (and pseudo) Leprosy Lues Lichen striatus Lupus erythematosus Lipoidica (and incomplete granuloma annulare) Lepidoptera (arthropods etc) Dermatophyte Reticular erthymatous mucinosis Urticaria Gyrate erythema Scleroderma

How to gross a Whipple's specimen

Just mentioning presence of a Whipple's specimen in the lab would bring throngs of histopathology trainees to observe the grossing of the specimen.  It is associated with intimidating combination of organs, many margins to remember, and last but definitely not least, the lament of a trainee saying: "Where is the tumour??" When I was a second year Pathology Masters student (first year Histopathology trainee), a senior trainee taught us a simplified way to gross a Whipple's specimen.  It is the same as any other textbook, but the lack of wordiness (as compared to the textbook) make it less intimidating.                                                            (Picture from www.pancreapedia.org) 1.

Reactive Conditions of the Lymph Node

(This is a continuation of the notes I have taken from the Sabah Lymphoma talk ) I. Lymphadenopathies Lymphadenopathies are divided into three: 1. Reactive lymphoid hyperplasia 2. Atypical lymphoid hyperplasia 3. Progressive transformation of germinal centre 1. Reactive lymphoid hyperplasia Has a follicular pattern OR may present as diffuse paracortical hyperplasia. Characteristics: architecture preserved, capsule intact, enlarged germinal centre, mitotically active, tingible body macrophages, mantle zone present . Main differential of follicular pattern: follicular lymphoma. 2.  Progressive transformation of germinal centre Mainly in adolescent males. Numerous follicules in different stages with follicular hyperplasia. Late stage: small lymphocytes infiltrating germinal centres, germinal centre disrupted. II. Castleman's disease 1.  Hyaline vascular variant Can be unilocular or multiple places. Numerous follicles with small germinal centre, on...
