2022 A Practical Approach to Surgical Pathology Volume VIII (CME VIDEOS)

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

• Discuss the most useful diagnostic features in distinguishing amongst the various well-differentiated lipomatous tumors.
• Explain the approach to mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract based upon primary cytology of the neoplastic cells.
• Discuss the most common diagnostic entities in the differential diagnosis of highly cellular spindle cell tumors.
• Describe the WHO criteria for the diagnosis of lobular carcinoma in situ and the uses and limitations of e-cadherin immunohistochemistry in evaluating in-situ lesions of the breast.
• Summarize the recent updates in the molecular basis of thyroid neoplasia as well as to understand the historical and practical reasons for the complexity of tumor characterization.
• Use the differentia diagnosis of chronic idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease and its mimics in daily practice.
• Discuss the practical approach to the diagnosis of papillary lesions of the breast aided by a targeted panel of immunohistochemical markers.
• Review relevant updates in prostate cancer grading and unfavorable pathologic features and their impact on reporting.
• Discuss common and uncommon renal tumors with eosinophilic cytoplasm and become familiar with key morphologic and immunohistochemical features useful in making these distinctions.
• Recognize the morphologic correlation of cytopathologic findings with histopathologic features and discuss the utility of ancillary molecular testing for the diagnosis of salivary gland lesions.
• Describe current testing guidelines with an optimized approach for histologic and cytologic samples of suspected HPV-related squamous cell carcinoma.
• Use a basic framework of histologic patterns and their clinical and laboratory correlates to diagnose common medical liver diseases.
• Apply diagnostic criteria for common inflammatory neoplastic diseases of the appendix in daily practice.
• Characterize the common elements of neuroendocrine neoplasia throughout the body.
• Summarize the spectrum of steroidogenic tissues and understand their structural and functional features.
• Discuss the difficulties in evaluating breast lumpectomy and mastectomy specimens following neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
• Describe the histologic features and clinical significance of the spectrum of myoepithelial and combined epithelial-myoepithelial lesions of the breast.
