Educational Objectives ▼

At the completion of this CME teaching activity, you should be able to:

Apply a pattern-based approach to the differential diagnosis of soft tissue tumors.
Discuss the differential diagnosis of cutaneous mesenchymal tumors.
Describe the key features of pleomorphic soft tissue tumors.
Recognize histologic and genetic subtypes of gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
Apply a pattern-based diagnostic approach to vascular and nerve sheath tumors.
Apply immunohistochemistry for the diagnosis of soft tissue tumors.

DocmedED’s 2025 Jason L. Hornick, M.D., Ph.D. Expert Series — Practical Soft Tissue Pathology is best for practicing pathologists, pathology fellows, and surgical pathologists who need a contemporary, case‑driven update on soft tissue tumor diagnosis that aligns with the WHO 2025 classification updates.
Who this series is best for

Practicing anatomic pathologists and surgical pathologists who sign out soft tissue specimens and want to reduce diagnostic uncertainty.
Fellows and senior residents preparing for boards or seeking a concentrated, expert‑led review.
Oncologic clinicians and multidisciplinary tumor boards who want clearer clinicopathologic correlation for management decisions.

What the course covers

Comprehensive, pattern‑based soft tissue tumor review with emphasis on diagnostic pitfalls, immunohistochemistry selection, and molecular testing strategies.
Focused modules on head and neck mesenchymal tumors, cutaneous mesenchymal lesions, and WHO 2025 classification changes, taught by Jason L. Hornick and other experts to translate new taxonomy into practical reporting approaches
