That's like when I was signing out neuropath and the attending saw a little papillomatous growth in the meninges and said "Oh look, tits!" I am totally serious.

Crap, that's all I can see in it now. Can't believe I didn't notice.
Well, I'm going to bed, and in case anyone cares, the cells with the bright red nuclei are actually CMV infected. Pretty kewl. The immunostains are also pretty kewl. And the fungus is aspergillus although you can't necessarily tell that (I think) from this view.

You don't have a water faucet? This isn't Mexico City, for crying out loud. I think you'll survive.

I should try sneaking that into my thursday presentation and see if anyone notices. That would be a riot.

totally dude, i bet appelman would laugh his ass off. i remember doing a presentation on pheochromocytoma. apparently, there are ectopic sites where pheos can appear...like the SCROTUM! i remember saying in my presentation, "i wonder how a scrotal pheochromocytoma would present? you scratch your balls and you get a headache."yaah said:

You could do it if you left out the smiley face of CMV infected nuclei.

Perhaps I am a pessimist. Would you believe I busted "Santa Claus" at age 3 and "the Tooth Fairy" at age 7? I could never catch "the Easter Bunny" though.AndyMilonakis said:

You know those giant mutant rabbits you see at the mall? I didn't want that in my house. I would cry and couldn't sleep the night before Easter so finally my folks told me the truth.
Actually to this day I still do not really like bunnies. There is a huge rabbit that lives around here that comes up on my porch and stares in through my sliding glass door (I'm serious). It is creepy.

I find it easier to not like lizards and snakes than to not like bunnies. My dog is white and he hops like a bunny in the bushes.
Wow - Santa lasted longer than the tooth fairy for me.

microbiology is fun.
banana, you were a fetus 10 years ago so hence this happened 7 years ago when you busted santa?

I am afraid that is the first thing I saw too. 😳AndyMilonakis said:
Thought it might be a parasitic worm of some sort 😀
Bright red nuclei? Are we talking about the same thing? I thought the spots were orange, and there were only two bright red unidentified objects (1 and 8 o'clock).
I was a sleuth fetus. 👍AndyMilonakis said:

see? deschutes is gonna be a l33t pathologist!
One of the CMV cells is just at about 10:00 to Andy's circle. The better one is near the top of the picture towards right of center. The yellow/brown blobs are something else. Could be iron, could be artifact of fixation.

Nice work Photoshopping, Andy.

hemosiderin or poo...thank you.yaah said:
deschutes, i have mad photoshop skillz.
Excellent. So we are talking about the same thing.yaah said:
All the obscene objects are then aspergillus?
I believe so. Unless he had two different fungi growing. Basically though, every slide of the autopsy has angioinvasive aspergillus.
I would cry when I had to sit in Santa's lap... 😳 And he wasn't even a real Santa, just an Asian guy with lots of white fake hair mixed in with the black.beary said:I was petrified of the Easter Bunny.

wow, that's one angry dick of a fungus!yaah said:
I have difficulty picking out the "angio" part of angioinvasive. The slide looks a mess. If you can imagine it in black and white you'll have my conception of EM ultrastructure.yaah said:

The slide is a mess. That's after it has invaded through the vessel and into the tissue which is not only being destroyed by bugs but by the post mortem interval. It's basically just debris at this point.
