Blah- test results!

Okay so that test went VERY badly AND September's test which was returned concurrently also was not good. I identfied the tumor correctly but then there is a question after the identification where you have to choose all that apply. If you pick one that you shouldn't have or don't pick 1 that you should have, 1 point is subtracted. ARRRGGGH!!!! I am trying to console myself that I got the identifications correct. But I have to admit with "circle all that apply" questions, I convince myself that all of them are correct. Obviously a bad move on my part. THERE IS SO MUCH TO LEARN IN PATHOLOGY!!!!! (AND so many bad ways to test the information)

Just a little testy...

Well it's Detest-ful Monday! The surgpath and cyto attendings decided that we weren't reading enough so they wanted to get us reading. So we have at least 4 unknown conference a month with around 10 cases being discussed. Then at the end of the month we have a test. Here are some of the cases from this month's test. Can you figure out what they are? I'll give the site and/or organ. The answers are at the bottom of the post.

1. Breast                                            











 2. Mediastinum

3a. Kidney                                         3b.

4. Stomach CD117-                      










 5. Breast

1. Pleomorphic Lobular carcinoma in-situ

2. Low grade fibromyxoid sarcome (Evan's tumor)

3.Oncocytoma

4. Gastric schwannoma

5. Paget's disease of the breast

I am out of my mind!

Okay I guess I am on a blog kick because no this weekend I have started not 1 but 2 blogs. I just felt that people who are interested in mommy stuff would be interested in my other blog and peoples that are interested in pathology stuff especially pathology resident stuff would be interested in this blog. So stay tuned tomorrow for "The test that I DETEST!"
