Gynecologic Pathology
Gulisa Turashvili, MD, PhD, FASCP
Harvard Medical School
Kyle Devins, MD
Harvard Medical School
Review the classification, grading, staging and reporting of endometrial carcinomas based on the recently published comprehensive recommendations of the International Society of Gynecological Pathologists. Review the morphologic, immunohistochemical and molecular hallmarks of common uterine mesenchymal neoplasms and understand a practical algorithmic approach in the differential diagnosis and diagnostic workup of these tumors. Participate in an interactive discussion of 10 diagnostically challenging uterine tumors using case-based illustration and audience response system.
MAY 20
Breast Pathology
Miralem Mrkonjic, MD
University of Toronto
Review the diagnostic features and common pitfalls in the assessment of non-invasive and invasive epithelial tumors, fibroepithelial lesions and inflammatory lesions of the breast. Review the cytomorphologic features and reporting of fine needle aspiration specimens of common and rare breast lesions (case-based illustrations with corresponding surgical excision specimens). Participate in an interactive discussion of 10 diagnostically challenging breast lesions using case-based illustration and audience response system.
Head and Neck Pathology
Nicole Cipriani, MD, FASCP
University of Chicago
Discuss up-to-date diagnostic criteria for lesions of the thyroid, salivary glands, sinonasal cavity, and mucosal linings of the upper aerodigestive tract, in the context of relevant recurrent and actionable molecular alterations in head and neck neoplasms.
MAY 21
Gastrointestinal Pathology
Lindsey Westbrook, MD
University of Colorado
Cassie Xu, MD
University of Colorado
We will cover lumps and bumps in the upper gastrointestinal tract, common patterns of injury in the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract, a practical approach to medical liver, inflammatory bowel disease – do’s and don’ts, and appendiceal lesion and neoplasms.
MAY 22
Genitourinary Pathology
Bonnie Choy, MD
Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine

Lung Pathology
Humberto Trejo Bittar, MD
Moffitt Cancer Center
Discuss the features that allow separation of benign from malignant mesothelial proliferations; explain current issues in the diagnosis of lung cancer, including handling of post-neoadjuvant therapy cancer specimens and new molecular and PD-L1 testing guidelines; and interactive discussion of the most common challenging diagnostic cases received by lung pathology expert consultation services.
MAY 23
Frozen Sections/High Yield
