🧑🏫~ New Pathology Residents and Aspiring Pathologists: *Pleomorphism* is defined as variation in cellular size. These cancer cells are greatly different in individual size, some of the larger ones obviously more than 3x the smaller ones.

~ Notice differences from conventional clear cell RCC: The distinct arrangement of clear cells with branching, infolding tubules or papillae. Also cells with voluminous cytoplasm and distinct cell boundaries.
Urothelial carcinoma in situ (CIS)... Easy giveaway are BIG nuclei. Notice the size difference between CIS nuclei (left) and benign nuclei within an adjacent von Brunn nest (right).

This one for upcoming and aspiring pathology residents! "Cribriform" = pierced by many small holes or a sieve-like architecture. Here, an image of cribriform prostatic carcinoma. What are other examples of cribriform architecture in pathology? (comment below)

Remember 3 cell populations and sizes ◾️⬛️▪️
➡️ Giant cells (like the big one in the middle of picture!)
➡️ Small cells (fewer, smallest, dense chromatin look like lymphocytes!)
➡️ Intermediate cells (the rest, most of the cells in the picture)
