Hi! I'm a PGY-3 AP/CP resident at the Medical College of WI in Milwaukee. I also attended medical school here from 2002-2006, after which I attempted the Internal Medicine pathway and soon learned of how brilliant a career in Pathology could be. I'm pursuing hematopathology for my fellowship but in the meantime trying to stay involved in as much general pathology that I can. Thus, here I am, excited about H&Es, CDs, and dRVVTs!!! |
Thanks to the readers who responded with the correct diagnosis to last week’s case! I’ve also presented this case at our weekly clinical pathology conference and I’ve found it extremely interesting and educational. This was indeed a case of hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTL), gamma-delta type. Characteristically, lymphadenopathy was absent and there was no peripheral involvement [...]

The patient is a 44 yo M with a history of end-stage renal disease secondary to hypertensive nephropathy who was awaiting transplant > 2 years and undergoing peritoneal dialysis. Fatigue and anemia [...]
A couple “smiley” faces from a bone marrow we reviewed a few months ago. I haven’t posted in a while, but promise to publish a couple interesting cases soon!
Our Pathology program has set up the curriculum so that we do three-month block rotations during our second year of training. I just finished my three-month intense hematopathology rotation and really enjoyed it. I’m psyched about doing more of it and I hope to do a fellowship. In the midst of talking about career choices [...]
This weekend brings the 2nd annual Midwestern Conference Update in Surgical Pathology to Milwaukee. It’s a three-day, Friday-Sunday affair and I am proud to say that it’s been a great conference thus far. It’s taking place in the InterContinental Hotel in downtown Milwaukee, which serves as a quite high-end venue. Although I am not staying [...]
Sorry for the delay in following up with my case! It was a good initial presentation of chronic myelogenous leukemia, chronic phase. So, to start off with, the 5% “unclassified cells” were myeloid blasts without Auer rods. In addition, the peripheral smear shows mostly granulocytes in varying stages of maturation. The mature bands and neutrophils [...]
