Pathology Puzzles Project gives an opportunity to all the specialists to study interesting morphological cases. It is not only a good educational opportunity but also a chance to discuss the cases within the pathologists’ community. Every month three cases will be uploaded into the Digital Pathology system. Before uploading the cases minimum two specialists will validate them.
55 year-old woman presented with clinically so-called “polyp” of uterine cervix. More
Man, 38 y. The lesion on the first toe of the left foot. More

The 21-year-old patient was initially forwarded to a cardiology unit due to dyspnea, tachycardia, fatigue and night fever. These symptoms had been triggered by recent tonsillitis, so the patient was suspected to suffer from septic endocarditis and therefore received intensive antibacterial therapy. Further examination by spiral computed tomography revealed abdominal lymphadenopathy, while no abnormalities were detected by esophagogastroscopy and colonoscopy. Diagnostic laparoscopic biopsy of an affected lymph node was subsequently performed. More

“We really hope that the project will be helpful.”

“We chose these cases from the current practice, because we are sure that you will give the right diagnosis. The most important thing is to see the full picture and remember to trust yourself and your doctor in the first place”

“I’m sure there comes a time when education stops being obligatory and becomes an interesting and exciting process. I’ll be glad to watch, to read, to search and to discuss. This is a very right project, after all, and I hope it is capable to unite the professional community”
