A must-have for all #Pathsky Pathologists (and please add me, too)

Like ‘old Twitter’: The scientific community finds a new home on Bluesky After recent changes to Elon Musk’s X, a gradual migration turns into a stampede

“Bluesky has rapidly emerged as the new online gathering place for researchers and scientists.”

The latest WHO Classification divides these endometrial stromal neoplasms into four distinct groups:
- Endometrial Stromal Nodule
- Low-Grade Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma (LG-ESS)
- High-Grade Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma (HG-ESS)
- Undifferentiated Uterine Sarcoma (UUS)

Monotonous oval to spindle cells with minimal cytologic atypia, often demonstrating whorling around blood vessels

LVI

H&E, CD10, ER, PR

Low-Grade Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma (LG-ESS), uterus: Proliferative-phase endometrial stromal-type tumor cells with “tongue/finger-like pattern” of myometrial invasion, frequent LVI - CD10, IFITM1 & ER/PR positive!

I haven’t seen a #pathsky starter pack yet! I’ve tried to keep up with all of the new pathologists joining, but I know I have missed many! Please tag yourselves/others below and I will follow them and add them 😁 @kmirza.bsky.social @clilleymd.bsky.social @brettkurpiel.bsky.social go.bsky.app/6bWDSjT

Score 0, 1+, 2+, 3 by IHC of a breast carcinoma

The human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), one of the most common biomarkers assessed by scoring of IHC-stained tissue: Overexpressed in 15-25% of breast carcinomas (likely to respond to HER2 targeted therapy) #biomarkers #oncology #Her2 #breastcancer #pathology #surgicalpathology #pathsky
