6Head/Neck55YOF with a left nasal mass. Slide 1
7GUA 91-year-old underwent excision of a left hydrocele sac, which revealed nests and cords of infiltrative epithelioid cells.  In focal areas, these cells were associated with an accompanying myxoid/desmoplastic stromal response. Slide 1 
8GUA 74-year-old female underwent a left partial nephrectomy for a 3.9 cm mass.  This tumor showed infiltration into the perinephric fat and metastatic involvement of the ipsilateral adrenal gland. Slide 1

13Derm13-year-old female history of left nasal obstruction and allergic rhinitis. For a year prior to presentation, patient reported headaches and snoring. A bump in the nose was noted by PCP who referred patient to ENT. A large, dark, fleshy, left nasal mass was noted and Imaging were performed followed by incisional biopsy. PDF

15Derm64-year-old male with history of widely metastatic epithelioid mesothelioma and malignant pleural effusion and disseminated abdominal disease, pathology was confirmed.Presented with a 1-month history of a raised lesion on the right ear that bled easily.

20PulmonaryA 65-year-old woman with a history of right breast cancer (2015) and left lower lobe pulmonary adenocarcinoma (2020) presents with a new 2.6 cm right upper lobe lung mass with hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy and multiple liver lesions. FNA of the liver lesion is provided.  Slide 1
21CytologyA 49-year-old woman presented to clinic with complaints of recurrent chest pain. CTA showed a right lower lobe lung mass with bulky ipsilateral hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)-guided fine needle aspiration was performed. A representative cell block is shown.  Slide 1
22CardiacA 66-year-old patient with a 4 cm PET-avid right atrial mass. A representative section of the surgically resected specimen is provided.  Slide 1
23Hempath * 61-year-old male who presented 4 years prior with relapsing polychondritis. 
* Prior BM biopsies had no definitive diagnosis, no clonal abnormality; presumably autoimmune-related.
* He has been treated with steroids and rituximab.
* He has become progressively transfusion dependent and refractory to therapy.
* CBC: Hb 7.4, MCV 109, WBC 6.9, plt 67. Differential: 85% PMN, 13% lymphs and 2% monocytes.
* A BM biopsy is performed and is from 5 years ago.
Slide 1 
24Hempath* 44-year-old female who has BRCA2 mutation and had “spots” on her skin for 15 years.
* She has no itching, rashes, ulceration or any other symptoms.
* CT scan is normal.
* CBC: Hemoglobin 11.7, MCV 99, platelet 247, WBC 5.8 with ANC 3.0.
Slide 1
25Hempath* 71-year-old female with a PMHx of diabetes mellitus type 2, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and GERD.
* She was on vacation and developed progressive fatigue and somnolence associated with significant exercise intolerance.
* Her symptoms did not abate after several weeks and she appeared pale and exhausted to her family members, so she was taken to the emergency room.
* In the ER, her CBC showed hemoglobin 6.2 gm/dL, MCV 106, white blood cells 70.3K and platelets 55K.
* A bone marrow was performed.

27NeuroThis 19 year-old male patient presented with new-onset seizures. Head imaging studies revealed a large, heterogenous mass centered in the right fronto-temporal lobe, which is associated with prominent mass effect. Slide 1 
28NeuroThis 73 year-old male patient presented with headaches. Head imaging studies revealed a dura-based, homogenously enhancing mass overlying the left fronto-parietal lobe. Slide 1
