Just trying to help a patient. I have a patient who wants to know if her lung adenoca could be tested to see if any asbestos could be involved. One of my pathologists suggested I call Mayo. Nothing there. He said someone used to do the digestion procedure at SUNY. So I asked the experts. I have a procedure from Lynette but I think I need an expert to do the testing and the resulting.

I seem to remember that these are usually characteristic shaped structures that are iron positive and should be easy to identify on morphology alone or am I mistaken?

Our pathologist remembers that someone used to do this at SUNY. I'd appreciate your feedback.
