I finally put together an overview for grossing a Whipple! Of note, this was the most straightforward Whipple I’ve ever encountered. But useful to show basic principles!

#GrossWordWednesday GRUMOUS (pronounced GROOM-us)

A texture or consistency that is “lumpy” or “curdled”. In other words, the texture of hummus 🙃

This is an #ovarian dermoid cyst filled with grumous, keritinaceous material.

Med students learning how to find their best fit for a #pathresidency at #SPRF24

Here’s a cool case we received recently. What is the organ and diagnosis? It probably would have fooled me!

#Gallbladder Adenomyosis- diffuse form. Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses in the walls from the mid body to the fundus. No stones in the lumen, everything here was from the sinuses. Cool case! #PathTwitter #gipath #MedTwitter #pathresidency #pathresidents #pathassist

Here are some nice Nabothian cysts for your weekend #PathTwitter #MedTwitter #gynpath #uterus #pathresidents #pathresidency #pathassist

The fun part of residency is getting to everything for the first time!

I’ve seen LAMNs inside an operating room but to finally see it under a microscope is even better 🤩 #gipath #pathresidency

#GrossWordWednesday Staghorn

It means (shocker), “shaped like the horns of a stag”. It’s used to describe kidney stones that fill the renal pelvis, taking on its branched shape. #PathTwitter #MedTwitter #kidney #gupath #pathresidency #pathassist

#GrossWordWednesday ! Today I have 2 words: Papillary: a texture made of small, round raised structures; and Excrescence: an outgrowth resulting from disease. This ovarian cyst has Papillary Excrescences in it! #PathTwitter #MedTwitter #gynpath #pathassist #pathresidency

Today’s #GrossWordWednesday is a two-fer! This bowel is Tortuous: snarled up; full of “twists and turns”. It is also Dusky, which is this lovely plum color that tissue becomes when its blood supply is cut off.
