This CME/CMLE-accredited, case-based microlearning activity is designed to help laboratory team members increase their knowledge, skills, and competence in diagnosing multicentric Castleman disease and to be informed of changes in clinical practice guidelines. Through a series of four 15-minute cases developed by a multidisciplinary team, you will gain a greater understanding of multicentric Castleman disease, how to differentiate it from potential mimics, and updated guidelines for diagnosis.
This case-based learning includes the following topics:
Types of Castleman disease, disease pathology, and morphological features
Challenges in diagnosis of multicentric Castleman disease and differentiation from potential mimics
Clinical practice guidelines for diagnosis and treatment
Current/emerging therapies in the management of multicentric Castleman disease
The importance of a multidisciplinary team-based approach to the diagnosis and management of multicentric Castleman disease
