Helena
Helena is gynecologist, my colleague. Her field of practice is ovarian tumors.
Yesterday, before the hospital daily meeting we had very animated conversation about origins of mucinous tumors of ovaries. I was very impressed with her, when she told that mucinous ovarian tumors are usually secondary (i.e. metastatic). There are not a lot of people who know it! Even me, I was very surprised when I found out this issue in books! So, I agreed with her and added that most common origin of them is appendiceal cancer and that these tumors are not very simple in immunohistochemical diagnostics.
Then she told me about her patient with mucinous cancer of lung with metastases to ovaries and asked me to examine a tumor (I am pathologist) from another patient with signet-ring tumors to exclude secondary involvement of ovaries. I said her yes and told about my diagnostic troubles with one patient who was operated last week. Today I finished this case. I think Helena will wonder a lot when read my report.
I like communicate with the people like Helena. She understand our (pathologists’) work, our limits and troubles. She is also very interested in oncology, in recent studies in this field and always tries to applicate them to her clinical practice.

Her field of practice is ovarian tumors.Yesterday, before the hospital daily meeting, we had a very animated conversation about the origins of mucinous tumors of the ovaries. I was very impressed with her, when she told me that mucinous ovarian tumors are usually secondary (i.e. metastatic). There are not a lot of people who know that. Even I was was very surprised when I learned this fact from books. So, I agreed with her and added that the most common origin of mucinous ovarian tumors is appendiceal cancer, and that these tumors are not easily diagnosed by means of immunohistochemical diagnostics.
She then/Then she told me about one of her patients with mucinous cancer of lung with metastases to the ovaries. Afterwards, she asked me to examine a tumor (I am pathologist) from another patient with signet-ring tumors, in order to exclude secondary involvement of the ovaries. I agreed and told her about my difficulties in arriving at a diagnosis regarding a patient who was operated on last week. Today I completed my work regarding that patient. I think Helena will have a lot to think about when she reads my report.
I like to exchange ideas and experience with the people like Helena. She understands our (pathologists’) work, our limits, and difficulties. She is also very interested in oncology, takes part in recent studies in this field, and always tries to apply what she learns to her clinical practice.
