Course Description
This course will cover major areas in neoplastic dermatopathology including melanocytic, mesenchymal, adnexal, and other epithelial and hematolymphoid neoplasms of the skin. Using a case-based didactic approach, our expert faculty will share practical tips on accurate diagnosis, with an emphasis on diagnostic challenges and pitfalls. There will also be a focus on new entities with defining molecular aberrations, and ancillary tools that aid in their diagnoses.
Target Audience
Practicing academic and community pathologists, and pathologists-in-training
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this educational activity, learners will be able to:
- To identify both classic and subtle histopathologic features and immunophenotypes that distinguish between different cutaneous neoplasms.
- To become familiar with newly described cutaneous tumors defined by unique histomorphologic features and genetic aberrations.
- To understand the appropriate use and limitations of ancillary studies in neoplastic dermatopathology.
- To recognize potential diagnostic pitfalls and how to circumvent them when evaluating skin biopsies.
