Miscellaneous
1. Fastest growing tumor Burkitts
2. PEs are found in half of all autopsies
3. Courvoisiers Law: tumors that obstruct the common bile duct cause enlarged gallbladders, but obstructing
gallstones do not (too much scarring), so if you can palpate the gallbladder youe probably looking at cancer.
4. Only DNA virus to replicate in cytoplasm: Pox
5. Only RNA virus to replicate in nucleus: Influenza
6. Bacillus anthracis has the only protein capsule
7. Bordetella pertussis (Whooping Cough) elicits lymphocytosis rather than granulocytosis
8. Bronchioalveolar carcinomas grow without destroying the normal architecture of the lung
