This teaching activity has been designed to provide an overview of some of the most common areas of diagnostic difficulty encountered by practicing pathologists in the areas of hematolymphoid, genitourinary, and orthopedic pathology. The course will provide extensive details of some of the most important diagnostic features which allow pathologists to make accurate diagnoses in each of these subspecialized areas, as well as how to assess essential diagnostic clues and avoid the most common diagnostic pitfalls. In each lecture, there is also a discussion on the use of ancillary diagnostic techniques, including immunohistochemistry and molecular pathology. Some of the lectures include case-based discussions.
