Lecture: Cutaneous Mesenchymal Tumors – Jason L. Hornick, MD, PhD
Section: 1 Presentation 1 Document 1 Certificate 1 Survey
Course Description
This course will cover the broad spectrum of diagnostic dermatopathology including dedicated sessions to melanocytic tumors, cutaneous mesenchymal neoplasms, cutaneous lymphomas and histiocytoses and inflammatory conditions. Using a case-based didactic approach, our expert faculty will emphasize important diagnostic challenges and pitfalls and provide practical tools to safely navigate them.
In addition, there will be a focus on novel entities and recent developments in the fields of immunohistochemistry and molecular pathology as an adjunct to the morphologic diagnosis.
Target Audience
Practicing academic and community pathologists, and pathologists-in-training
