Thrilled to say that I’ll be an anatomical pathology registrar in 2026 🎉 looking forward to diving into this fascinating specialty!

Doing some research into folding proteins (making an omelette)
Multiple nodules (slightly polypoid) protruding from nasal mucosa of a dog. The nodules are only slightly darker pink than the more normal mucosa.
Large, perhaps 200-micrometer-diameter, spherical organisns with a trilaminar wall and multiple smaller structures inside. It lies in the submucosa of the nose and is surrounded by macrophages, lymphocytes and plasma cells.
Spherical organisms of variable diameter but typically very large, with a thick capsule and grainy contents. These structures have thick walls, but only the largest has a trilaminar wall. The organisms are in the submucosa of the nose and are surrounded by macrophages, lymphocytes and plasma cells. Some macrophages contain hemosiderin.
Large spherical organisms of variable diameter with a thick capsule and granular contents. Some have a nucleus visible in the center. The largest is partially collapsed and has a trilaminar wall. The walls of smaller (developing) organisms only have one layer.
Here is a bipartisan #pathology case. It's relevent to DVMs and MDs. Lots of red (at least pink) and blue, too.
Rhinoscopy and nasal biopsy from a dog. What’s your diagnosis? It's a classic.

Scrolling through a 4 page personal statement about a meaningful patient encounter designed for SEO before I get to the massive transfusion protocol recipe I’m looking for at the bottom of the page.
Warming up to this new platform with a few of my favorite cases from PathTwitter. This is a myelolipoma with focal osseous metaplasia. "Boneless marrow" as Dr. Dennis O'Malley likes to call it!

Kidney pathology in an autopsy case for decompensated cirrhosis. Patchy bile cast nephropathy (brown casts; green on Hall's bile stain) and a Randall plaque (papillary tip nephrocalcinosis). #renalpath #nephrology #pathsky #nephsky
Solar panels do not stop farming on the land. They help retain water and provide shelter for livestock.
I can't remember what this case is (maybe thyroid?) but this is the most intriguing smear I've seen. #PathSky
BAL with inflammatory backgound.. Lots of granulocytes.
Fungal pseudohyphae likely Candida (can´t specify species).
Arrows Candida pseudohyphae.
Bronchioalveolar lavage (BAL).
Clinical information: Young female patient, likely tubercolosis.
I was very inactive on the other site, but it was nice to have a place to immerse myself in pathology when my day job is very much ward based (for now). Keen to connect with others who are as interested in diagnostics and laboratory medicine ❤️

Have a nice photo from my last trip to Queenstown while I scour this new platform for people to follow 🙏🏼
