Biphasic synovial sarcomas have:
1) An epithelioid component forming cohesive structures, often tubules
2) A spindle cell component forming fascicles of monotonous cells with very high N:C ratios

Excision of lateral tongue for high grade dysplasia but showing some rarely seen and beautiful microanatomical variants. Lateral lingual tonsillar tissue, taste buds lining clefts of foliate papillae and subgemmal neurogenous plaque. #ENTpath @sakhurram @ENTpathology

A nasty met of melanoma in inguinal lymph node. The peritheliomatous distribution of melanoma cells (most are rhabdoid and plasmacytoid here) can be mistaken as perivascular formations of metastatic germ cell tumors without appropriate history. The patient has primary in big toe. – at Myanmar

Salivary gland neuroendocrine carcinoma of small cell (Merkel)-type; CK20 dot-positive.
TTF1-, PET scan, skin survey and lack of tumour UV DNA signatures can help exclude spread from far more likely occult thoracic or cutaneous primary journals.lww.com/ajsp/abstra… @ENTpathology

Paget’s disease of perianal squamous mucosa associated with a non-invasive prolapsing anorectal adenoma with high grade dysplasia. Like the @LizMontgomeryMD series our case didnt show submucosal invasion, and the Paget cells had a “colorectal” (CK7- CK20+ CDX2+) Immunophenotype.

Esophagitis dissecans (sloughing esophagitis) is self-limiting, creating white plaques. The upper layer undergoes coagulative necrosis and then sloughs. PAS staining shows loss of glycogen in the layer that will soon detach. #UMiamiPath @ModernPathology

Another (biologically unrelated) small troublemaker, this time in the gallbladder, only 1mm diam in contrast to true paragangliomas which are 1-2cm in size. Dont mistake it for a NET! Just an autonomic paraganglion in an odd place?
"Small troublemaker"; Glomus coccygeum / glomus body, normal anatomical variant <1-4mm diameter, always present in pericoccygeal adventitia if you look hard enough. Could be mistaken for a glomus tumour or NET. SMA+ desmin- #GIpath @RunjanChetty @DraEosina @DrMarkOng @GIJamesMD
