SOLVING EVERYDAY PROBLEMS IN BREAST<br />
PATHOLOGY: A MORPHOLOGICAL APPROACH<br />
COURSE DESCRIPTION<br />
This course will focus on diagnostic problems encountered<br />
<strong>in</strong> the daily practice of breast pathology and especially on<br />
those with important cl<strong>in</strong>ical implications. The discussions<br />
will emphasize the dist<strong>in</strong>ction of benign lesions from morphologically<br />
similar malignant ones and the differentiation<br />
of situations that require further evaluation from those that<br />
do not.<br />
The faculty will tailor their discussions to a level appropriate<br />
for experienced general surgical pathologists; the speakers<br />
will also discuss f<strong>in</strong>e po<strong>in</strong>ts of diagnosis for the benefit of<br />
those pathologists already conversant with the well-recognized<br />
problem areas. The late afternoon sessions will consist<br />
of concurrent <strong>in</strong>formal discussions of selected practical<br />
issues and diagnostic topics. Participants will be able to<br />
take part <strong>in</strong> one or more of these presentations accord<strong>in</strong>g<br />
to their specific professional needs and personal preferences.<br />
Students will also have the opportunity to study a<br />
large collection of illustrative cases at their leisure. The<br />
course will <strong>in</strong>clude self-assessment modules that qualify for<br />
the Ma<strong>in</strong>tenance of Certification program of the American<br />
Board of <strong>Pathology</strong>.<br />
Upon complet<strong>in</strong>g this course, students should have the<br />
tools needed to solve many problems encountered <strong>in</strong> the<br />
diagnosis of breast diseases. These tools <strong>in</strong>clude: specific<br />
morphological criteria, diagnostic algorithms, knowledge of<br />
diagnostic pitfalls and ways to negotiate them, and an<br />
understand<strong>in</strong>g of the <strong>in</strong>dications for and limitations of special<br />
diagnostic techniques.<br />
