Welcome to COM'on the Society for Cardiovascular Pathology Case of the Month. Every month we will post a new COM'on and we invite everyone to give us their best diagnosis. We will note how many pathologists got the case right with the posting of each new COM'on. We even pick a winner and award them with a special COM'on prize! If you follow SCVP on Twitter, we will send out a tweet each time a new COM'on has been posted.
