Good precise discussion. If possible also make some actual slide discussion videos like some other youtube links like pathcast..

Thank you, Hina! I appreciate it. Yes, I will be eventually looking to add case-based discussions. I think that I do need a live streaming capability to achieve it, which currently I do not. Thank you, for the feedback!

Hi Hina! I uploaded a new video using a case based discussion. Please let me know your feedback. Thanks.

Thank you Dr. Shah. The approach to mimickers is great. Very nice point abt the IHC. I use PIN4 quite a lot esp because we can see basal cells +/- and cancer cells -/+ in the same gland. At 14:46, the fact that is intriguing me is: the small round glands in question (left side) are AMACR pos but basal marker neg(not even a patchy stain), the b9 looking glands on the right are showing the reverse. I would have thought of a small focus of ASAP here..is this a pitfall ? Does the weak AMACR staining favour a b9 dx? Thank you.

[@rajalbshahExperturologicpath]

As long as glands which are staining with basal cells and glands which are not staining for basal cells do not look different in their cytoplasmic and cytological characteristics, I would consider that as a part of same focus and would interpret as a benign

I feel this talk is incorrectly titled as for "...dummies" which is misleading. I suggest it be changed to incorporate the characterization that it is for inquiring minds.
