About the Meeting
This seminar has been designed to provide a thorough review of common topics encountered by practicing surgical pathologists, including gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, breast, head and neck, endocrine, genitourinary and soft tissue pathology. This course will provide a thorough update and a comprehensive overview of the most important diagnostic features which allow pathologists to make accurate diagnoses, as well as important clues as to how to avoid the most common diagnostic pitfalls. There will be extensive discussion on the use of diagnostic immunohistochemical and molecular diagnostic techniques which assist the pathologist in rendering a diagnosis. There will also be sufficient time for interactive discussion between all faculty members and participants.

Target Audience
This CME activity is primarily designed to educate practicing pathologists.

Educational Objectives

Attendees should, at the completion of this course, be able to:
  • Discuss the most useful diagnostic features in distinguishing amongst the various well-differentiated lipomatous tumors.

  • Understand how to integrate clinical history, laboratory data, and imaging findings to come to a uniform diagnosis when presented with an unexpected histologic feature in a liver biopsy
  • Recognize the liver tumors that can closely resemble hepatocellular carcinoma and the proper immunostain panel to identify that
  • Identify the histologic features that allow for the diagnosis of Wilson disease, hereditary hemochromatosis, and alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency
  • Summarize the morphologic and molecular features of special histologic subtypes of triple negative breast cancer and management implications
  • Review recent updates on biomarker testing in breast cancer
  • Discuss diagnostic challenges in breast core needle biopsies and how to resolve these issues on difficult cases
  • Describe the various histologic patterns of colitis and their differential diagnoses
  • Recognize the key factors that predict prognosis and guide therapeutic decision making in colorectal cancer
  • Classify appendiceal tumors according to updated criteria to guide subsequent therapy and predict prognosis

  • To emphasize a practical approach to common diagnostic challenges in kidney tumors
  • Discuss the most useful histologic and immunohistochemical findings in diagnosing serious neoplasms of the uterus and ovary, including a focus on HER2 testing
