Path Pictionary is an absolutely fabulous concept that Spice Island Queen over at Notes from Spice Island introduced me to. The premise of the game is to basically throw down a few pictures that remind you of buzzwords of key concepts in Pathology. For example, you see a picture of a Pillsbury crescents and you think...crescent-moons...crescentic change...RPGN, nephritic syndrome, seen in Goodpasture's, Wegener's granulomatosis, and microscopic polyarteritis, etc.! Basically, use the image as a starting point to help you build on your knowledge of the pathological concept underlying it.
Sooo in lieu of regular posts [since quite frankly my days all follow the same routine- eat, sleep, study, work out], I'm gonna throw up Path Pictionary every now and then for you guys to enjoy. I still have absolutely no idea how many SOM kids read this but hey, if you are, then these are for you! Just leave your answers in the comment section :)

3. This one might be tough...Shruts, if you're reading this, this one's for you! ;)

1. PCP
2. krukenburg tumor
3. hydatidiform mole
(great idea! keep em coming!)
There's an alternative concept underlying #3 as well though it's probably not at the forefront of anyone's minds...HINT- Think Peds Path.
Sarcoma botryoides! Vaginal tumor in children under 5 that looks like a bunch of grapes hanging out of the vagina...
I only got this because I JUST got back from the Female Genital Tract lecture and it was covered. Path is fun! :)
YESSS, nice catch! :)
Thats the name! I couldn't think of the tumor...but yes Sarcoma Botryoides! Also, Psuedomonas Aeruginosa produces not only a blue-green pigment but also grapelike odor!!
I think I understand the connection between #1 and PCP but #2 and Krukenburg ... I fail to understand.
Good call on the P.aeroginosa and grape odor!
1) A KOH stain of P.carini/jiroveci, has the resulting appearance is that of cups and saucers.
2)Krukenberg tumors are characterized by signet-ring [hence the picture] cells that secrete mucin.
3) Sarcoma botryoides is exactly was SIQ said above- pediatric tumor that has the appearance of grapes hanging out of the vagina.
Why is sarcoma botyroides for me??? Do I have bunch of grapes hanging off of my vajay-jay? And I don't particularly like grapes... what's your beef, shravie?
Man, I can't believe you forgot. And you were even the one that started the conversation- it was Quote Wall worthy!
Shruts: Can you believe having grapes grow out of your vagina?
Srav: I kind of don't want to think about that.
Shruts: Would you rather have green grapes or red grapes?
Srav: I think I'd want red grapes because they'd match the surrounding mucosa better.
Shruts: But what if the green grapes were sweeter?
Srav: I AM NOT EATING GRAPES THAT ARE GROWING OUT OF MY VAGINA!
=D
**Obviously YOU are not eating your own grapes........
;)
Ughhhhhhhhh, I think I just barfed in my mouth.
