This is excellent
Largest description of a recently described #bstpath entity, in @AJSPjournal. Proud to be part of this multi-institutional collaboration.

Outstanding work
This is "cutaneous" syncytial myoepithelioma...of bone!
@JMcMahonG with @SintawatWang recognized that these morphologically distinctive tumors occur in diverse anatomic locations, including bone.

They have recurrent EWSR1::PBX3 fusions too!

Osteosarcoma or chondrosarcoma? Not such a simple question! #BSTpath
Check out the latest and greatest from @SintawatWang, @MichaelMichal28, @Greg_Charville, @JMcMahonG, published in #VirchowsArchive:

Non-cutaneous syncytial myoepitheliomas are identical to cutaneous counterparts.
Awesome!

Thigh mass biopsy from young adult. Differential? Next steps? Grade?

Great ideas all. This should have been an NTRK-rearranged spindle cell tumor, except pan TRK IHC was negative... Sequencing instead showed an ALK fusion. Fascinating case. Prognosis linked to histology, in this case high grade.

3 year old patient with history of large orbital mass, s/p chemotherapy and now resection. Diagnosis?

Great ideas all! Love the differentials. Agree with @GershonMD, this is tenosynovial giant cell tumor of prox thigh. Key to recognition is the larger epitheloid cells with peripheral rim of hemosiderin granules, so called ladybird cells. #BSTpath

Let's keep it going with back to school week. Adult patient: what is the site and diagnosis? #BSTpath #pathtwitter
Replying to @PathBst @JMGardnerMD @JMcMahonG @MdSuster @AndersMeyerMD @Greg_Charville @MichaelMichal28
Excellent work all! This is lipoblastoma. Clues are lobular architecture and fibrovascular septae at low power, spectrum of adipocyte maturation w/immature cells in myxoid areas, and zonal architecture with immature cells in periphery / adjacent to septae.

Radiolucency in frontal bone
sagittal + axial CT.
Here’s a clue: Keep a low power impression
Mild expansive remodeling, cortical thinning, radial (spoke) trabecular bone radiating around a central lucency
Diagnosis?
@reith16 @ahlawat_shivani @LauraMFayad @LisaRooperMD – at Baltimore, MD
Totally agree with @carina_dehner: this is Paget's disease. The polarized image is so perfect.

Was on vacay with MrsPathBst (#WorkLifeBalance), now back with this classic case: adult patient, diffuse sclerotic L1 vertebra.

Correct - clear cell chondrosarcoma, great job all!
