In fact: if you see MDS with increased blasts and increased ring sideroblasts.. there's a pretty good chance you're dealing with TP53 mutated MDS as shown nicely in this study in @LeukemiaJnl nature.com/articles/s4137… 8/

Whole genome view of a bone marrow aspirate … 1. 6% blasts on differential 2. Myeloid phenotype 3. Multilineage dysplasia , 24% ring sideroblasts 4. One pathogenic mutation (will reveal later) What’s the most likely @WHO 5th diagnosis? Poll 👇🏼

Patient with history of myelomonocytic leukemia post treatment, below is a follow up flow cytometry analysis of his peripheral blood months later, showing an expanded population in the CD45-dim gate (aka "blast-gate") #hemepath #PathTwitter #leusm #MedEd #MedTwitter #MedX

Viral infections may show striking T-cell atypia; which in the absence of adequate clinical history, may be worked-up for T-cell lymphoma Below are pictures from a peripheral blood smear of a patient with an acute viral illness & remarkable lymphocytic atypia #hemepath #lymsm

Check out Haematologica now! A whole series of reviews on peripheral T-cell lymphoma. A fascinating and understudied group of disorders badly in new of new and effective therapies. @MJAhearne @CwynKate haematologica.org/article/view/h…

Not only can the eosinophil-rich variant of nodal marginal zone lymphoma mimic angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), this is true the other way around too: AITL, particularly the EBV-NEGATIVE ones with a MONOTYPIC plasma cell population, can show striking morphologic…

An underrecognized variant of nodal marginal zone lymphoma (NMZL) is the "eosinophil-rich variant", which is a unique subset not mentioned/emphasized by the current WHO/ICC A knowledge of this variant of NMZL can prevent it from being misdiagnosed as PTCL (particularly AITL)…

Stage III Hematogones can express CD5, and this may cause overinterpretation as residual CD5+ B-cell lymphoma. Let's go through 2 examples below that nicely illustrate this⬇️ @ICCS_Education @saada_vsaada #hemepath #Xpath #PathTwitter #MedTwitter #surgpath #lymsm

Have you had a pediatric B-ALL with very mature features previously, that made you question whether you are dealing with a B-cell lymphoma instead? Below is a similar case: Starting with CD38 expression: It is not as "dim" as you would expect it to be in B-ALL #Hemepath #Leusm

Rosai Dorfman vs. Erdheim Chester… while clinically very different.. histopathology can overlap (both histiocytic, but many morphological clues to ddx) #histiocytosis Here is a nice visual summary on how to distinugish these two, from Dr @garces at #hemepathMDA #hemepath
