This is a GIST in the stomach. Most areas showed classic spindle-cell morphology w/ paranuclear vacuoles. Kudos @pepeheffernan , you got it!

Dan, this focus is located within the renal parenchyma. There's another similar PNI on the same slide. My hypothesis is that the tumor's neurotrophic effect promotes nerve fiber growth, making them more prominent and easier to identify. See the text and figure below (PMID:…

😮 Very interesting Skin Tumor 🧂 Looks like Merkel. CK20 = perinuclear dot like. Neuroendocrine markers + 🧬 BUT CD99 diffusely membraneous and EWSR1-ERG fusion t(21;22) ---> (Primary) Cutaneous Ewing's! Open Access Article (Moubarak et al) ⬇️ doi.org/10.1111/cup.14…
This hepatic explant shows cirrhosis. The etiology is apparent on the PAS/D stain - alpha 1 anti-trypsin deficiency.
Interesting case to share (Board question): What's your diagnosis for this 3.3 cm renal tumor from a 42-year-old man? Vimentin, SMA, CD34, and CD10 are positive. Electron microscopy reveals electron-dense, rhomboid-shaped crystals in the cytoplasm.
