Course DescriptionDermatopathology is a relatively specialized area of pathology requiring additional training; however, skin specimens are commonly encountered in the general surgical pathology practice, frequently constituting a large proportion of the total number of biopsies signed by general surgical pathologists. Accurate diagnosis of these cases entails knowledge of the vast array of potential diagnoses as well as competence in recognizing the histologic clues, which are often subtle, and in integrating the clinical findings. For the practicing pathologist lacking subspecialized training in dermatopathology, diagnosing these specimens may present a daunting task, especially for the less common diseases. In addition, in our age of precision medicine, the information one needs to include in the pathology report often involves ancillary molecular testing. Molecular discoveries with applications in diagnosis, prognosis and management are reported regularly within the literature, and yet, the typical practicing pathologist cannot easily distill this information to that which will meaningfully aid in diagnosis and/ or impact patient care. To this end, the aim of this course is to present the audience with relatively common dermatopathologic lesions and a focus on those entities that create challenges in diagnosis and / or have significant clinical implications. The course will provide a practical approach to common issues encountered in dermatopathology. The audience will be presented with the salient features of each entity, a choice of relevant ancillary tests and tips to avoid misdiagnosis.Target AudiencePracticing academic and community pathologists, and pathologists-in-trainingLearning ObjectivesUpon completion of this educational activity, learners will be able to:Recognize a variety of dermatopathology cases that are prone to be misdiagnosedIdentify histological features that are useful in preventing pitfalls in diagnosisDetermine appropriate ancillary studies that help arrive at the correct diagnosisItems Included in the Purchase of this Course- New Notions of Melanocytic Nevi - Iwei Yeh, MD, PhD- See Something, Say Something?
