This teaching activity has been designed to provide an extensive overview of some of the most common areas of diagnostic difficulty encountered by surgical pathologist in the areas of gastrointestinal, gynecologic, genitourinary, breast, and neuroendocrine pathology. Extensive details will be provided on some of the most important diagnostic features which allow pathologists to make accurate diagnoses in each of these areas of surgical pathology, as well as how to assess essential diagnostic clues and avoid the common diagnostic pitfalls. Each lecture also provides a thorough discussion on the use of ancillary diagnostic techniques including both immunohistochemistry and molecular diagnostics. The program includes case-based review sessions.
