Mastering Bone and Soft Tissue Pathology: A Diagnostic Challenge for Pathologists

As a practicing pathologist, staying up-to-date on the latest developments in bone and soft tissue pathology is crucial to accurately diagnosing complex cases. The ever-evolving field of mesenchymal pathology poses significant diagnostic challenges, especially for those with limited exposure to the broad range of entities and diverse histologic spectrum. This comprehensive course, led by expert educators, aims to bridge the knowledge gap by introducing participants to newer entities and refamiliarizing them with old challenges in the field.

Target Audience

• Practicing academic and community pathologists
• Pathologists-in-training

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this educational activity, learners will be able to:

• Describe common non-neoplastic entities in bone and joint pathology and recognize their mimics
• Discuss the differential diagnosis for epithelioid and myxoid tumors of soft tissue and design a relevant panel of ancillary testing to aid in their distinction
• Develop a differential diagnosis for challenging bone tumors based on histologic and clinical-radiologic features
• Describe selected new entities in soft tissue pathology and apply immunohistochemical and molecular studies in their workup

Course Topics

• New Entities in Soft Tissue Neoplasia presented by Elizabeth G. Demicco, MD, PhD
• Challenging Bone and Soft Tissue Tumors presented by G. Ptur Nielsen, MD
• Epithelioid and/or Myxoid Tumors of Soft Tissue presented by Vickie Y. Jo, MD
• Non-neoplastic Bone and Joint Disease presented by Roberto A. Garcia, MD
