Here’s your chance to apply some Clinicopathologic Correlation – correlating what you see grossly and microscopically with the clinical features of diseases.1. Look at these two gross pictures. What do they show? What similarities and differences are there?

For the answer, click on the talking pot below: Two cases of lymphadenopathy compared
2. Mr Loh is a 64 year old man who presents with an enlarged cervical lymph node and a hoarse voice. The microscopic slide of the lymph node is here:
What is the diagnosis? What is the structure that is circled in the picture?
For the answer, click on the Talking Slide below. Did you get the diagnosis right? Where do you think the primary source is?
3. Here is another talking microscopy slide video. This time, the lymph nofe is PAINFUL and lymphadenopathy is accompanied by fever. Which gross lymph node picture in (1) above corresponds to this?
Apply the knowledge you have gained from your reading, lecture and this resource is a short Quiz.
