Alan Schiller? Sharon Wiess? and others I'm sure.
Sharon Weiss isnt known for bone pathology. She is soft tissue goddess. Unni and McCarthy and the bone kings

I'd trust any diagnosis of a bone or soft tissue specimen coming from Paul Wakely at Ohio State. He also happens to be very good with his turnaround time, and only order immunos that he has to.
I'm sure that is true. He is just the only famous one that comes to mind and I am sure Sharon Weiss knows plenty of bone pathology, certainly way more than me.

I'm so damned old I would have told you David Dahlin!
Howard Dorfman at Montefiore Medical Center is first author of one of the older editions of the WHO book on Bone tumors as well as a classic textbook on Bone Tumors. He is still going strong as far as I know:

Scott Nelson at UCLA is maybe not a big name (yet) but is an excellent bone pathologist and does very good customer service and turnaround time.

Well, Unni and Inwards (the heir apparent? maybe that was someone else) are or were both at Mayo, regardless. I've always liked McCarthy at JHU, at least when he did regular teaching sessions for us, but I don't know what the bone consult TAT's are there, nor whether JHU -requires- the consultant to sign off on all consults vs letting the fellows do it. Though, I suspect bone cases are uncommon enough to get personal treatment. I also suspect he's not cheap.
But frankly, anyone who has done a selective fellowship in ortho path at a decent place and works somewhere they actively/currently do ortho surg-onc, is probably going to do a solid job, assuming you're at a place that gets only a tiny number you pretty much always send out.

Do people still send consults out of state??
I thought that died...
I havent sent anything out of state since my second month running a practice when Brigham and Womens told me they couldnt 3rd party bill.
Are you paying for it out of pocket or just putting with patient complaints when they get some mondo bill from Mayo and JHU for out of network care??

My limited perspective from spending time with a private group in residency, their consults generally went out of state -- but, being a pretty substantial group the send out consults were quite uncommon and esoteric, as the practice put a lot of effort into dealing with everything internally and having appropriate expertise, stains, etc. to do so, thus send-outs generally went to specific big names rather than the local academic affiliate (which, well, was also them). My impression was that they were paid directly by the practice. There were only rare patient/physician requests for send-outs, which I believe were processed differently. But, it's been a while.
There was also that case out in the midwest somewhere in which, again if I recall correctly, one state basically said specimens couldn't go across state lines as a matter of routine and be read in another state by a pathologist not licensed in the specimen's state of origin -- but that 'consults' were OK in that consulting pathologists didn't have to be cross-licensed. Think that thread was on here somewhere last year or thereabouts.

Yes, Yes McCarthy. How foolish of me not to think of him.
Umm... I know a solid place to send bone. Huh, huh....
Juan Rosai
i thought Rosai was the king of the dermpaths?
I'm a dermpath and that would be news to me.
I would be fascinated to meet the dermpath who looks to Juan Rosai as the final word on a dermpath case.
Definitely Rosenberg, he's your guy for bone, no doubt......
Alan Schiller. Hands down.
