Tendon vs Nerve Histology Made Simple with the Ramen Noodle Sign (of Fulton)

A complete organized library of all my videos, digital slides, pics, & sample pathology reports is available here: kikoxp.com/posts/5084 (dermpath) & kikoxp.com/posts/5083 (bone/soft tissue sarcoma pathology).
Got wavy pink spindle cells? It's more likely tendon, fascia, or ligament (dense regular connective tissue) rather than nerve. Everyone teaches that nerve and neural lesions are wavy, but I think that the most wavy spindle cells are actually fibroblasts and myofibroblasts. My former fellow, Dr. Ed Fulton, said tendon/fascia reminds him of instant Ramen noodles. So I have dubbed this the "Ramen noodles sign of Fulton" in his honor! :-D

Thanks a lot for such a crisp video!!! U are just too too good!!!☺️

[@drsupriyadhar7619]

Excellent video dr.👍

[@hagarkhallaf991]

Thanks a lot Sir ✨ a great educational video

[@ncorry8491]

Very useful practical video, thanks for uploading! Would you consider doing a video on perineural invasion particularly in small dermal nerves?

[@JMGardnerMD]

Sure. Good idea!

[@ncorry8491]

@@JMGardnerMD I was wondering if you could add these channels to your pathology youtube channel playlists. They arenot my channels but I think they deserve more exposure. The first one is Pathweb Teacher it covers a good range of general pathology gross specimens and also does cytology walkthrough videos in a similar manner to your skin tutorial videos. The next one is Gross Cutting Room - It just has very high quality grossing videos.

Great video. Always love the way you explain. Sorry I did not get the term ,which you thought was the Node of Ranvier. Really appreciate your hard work. Thanks

[@JMGardnerMD]

Schmidt-Lanterman incisures. Thanks!

[@yesarieroksuz6964]

Hi Jerad. I would love if you could do some videos on atypical melanocytic lesions and melanoma. I find those extremely challenging

Thank you for the lovely shout-out in the video! This is a great video, really helpful to distinguish these common look-a-likes in histological sections. In reference to the nodes of Ranvier, you can see them with the light microscope but often best viewed after staining the myelin sheaths (e.g. osmium tetroxide).

Thanks, Jamie! You’re the best!

Dr Gardner .in India we would call it maggie noddle .hehe

[@aakrutishah-5635]

Exactly… I was thinking of maggie😂🤣

[@mariavictorialaborie560]

Hi jerard! I love your videos! They are very helpful ... but I don't speak English perfectly, so there are parts that I can't take advantage of ... Is there a possibility to allow subtitles in Spanish?

[@JMGardnerMD]

Yes if you can find someone to transcribe the video into Spanish, I am happy to upload the transcription to KZbin. My Spanish is not good enough to do this however.

[@aakrutishah-5635]

I would appreciate dr. If u do videos on salivary gland tumors or suggest some mentor who teaches like you!☺️

[@JMGardnerMD]

Sorry that is outside of my expertise. But check my playlist of other pathology KZbin & Kiko video channels: kikoxp.com/posts/15619

[@aakrutishah-5635]

Tysm dr for your suggestion!

[@aakrutishah-5635]

It would be great if you put up verrucopapillary lesions.. including squamous papilloma, verruca vulgaris, verrucous hyperplasia ..I do really struggle to distinguish them …it will be great to learn from u!
