    From - Parra-Herran C, Khani F, Wobker SE. Gender distribution of editors and authors of reference textbooks in anatomic pathology. Mod Pathol. 2022 Sep 7. Epub ahead of print. PMID: 36071098. It’s nice that we have gender parity amongst our authors at Innovative Science Press.

    ...sneaky sneaky. Kaposi sarcoma in gastric mucosa.

    Bread and butter: if you see such lush neuroendocrine granules in a NET involving the liver, you can be quite certain that the primary is ileal.

    A beautful day for colorectal malakoplakia. Note the nice Michaelis-Gutmann body (arrow). It is a 4x diagnosis because of the characteristic brightly eosinophilic appearance of the histiocytes. Once one spots the first MG body, more follow ...but fun to confirm with Von Kossa.

    Incredible example of a TFE3-rearranged PEComa that presented as a colorectal polyp.

    Super scary. At low magnification, this little focus looked like "squamous morules" to me... boring, next case..... but the cells are ugly and mitotically active. A tiny neuroendocrine carcinoma arising in the setting of a tubular adenoma. Gulp.

    Entities that are 100% H&E diagnoses are the best! Pleomorphic liposarcomas feature some of the most bizarre cells in human neoplasia. This example has beautiful pleomorphic lipoblasts, all decked out with lipid droplets crisply indenting their nuclei.

    Morphology remains critical in the genomic era; Two lesions of the gastric muscularis propria with MALAT1-GLI1 fusions; one (gastroblastoma) is malignant and the other (plexiform fibromyxoma) benign.

    This is a lovely example of "sneaky" strongyloidiasis. I cannot take credit for spotting the organisms - my new colleague Dr. Jonathan England was the hawk-eye!

    This is simply an amazing example of lymphatic space invasion "caught in the act" in what appears to be intramucosal (muscularis mucosae invasion) carcinoma in a colorectal polypectomy sample. Of course there might be submucosal invasion that simply is not apparent on the slide.

    Good gosh - I initially mistook this for a rare gastric carcinoma with peculiar oxyntic/parietal cell differentiation. Gulp. Thankfully I realized my error in a reasonable time frame.

    Pembrolizumab-associated colopathy/colitis. There is lots of immune damage to the colonic mucosa. The crypt apoptosis is striking. This is the other side of the miracle of immunotherapy.
