ASCP Virtual Slide Review Series
Challenging Differential Diagnoses in Lung Biopsies
Live Webinar – January 13, 2026 | 12:00–1:00 pm ET
Join us for the next session of ASCP’s Virtual Slide Review Series, an interactive case-based webinar designed for practicing pathologists and trainees. Using whole slide images, faculty will walk through challenging small lung nodule biopsies with scant or limited material, highlighting key diagnostic features, differential diagnostic considerations for both common and uncommon entities, and practical interpretation tips. Participants will gain a stepwise diagnostic framework and real-world insights to improve accuracy and confidence in evaluating small thoracic specimens.
Key Features:
- Whole slide image review for an immersive, microscopy-like experience
- Case-based format with practical diagnostic pearls
- Designed for practicing pathologists and trainees
- 1 CME/CMLE credit per 1-hour session
Target Audience
This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of pathologists and trainees.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, you will be able to:
- Apply a structured diagnostic approach to the interpretation of lung nodule biopsies with scant or minimally diagnostic material.
- Differentiate morphologic features of common versus rare lung pathologies when tissue sampling is limited.
- Incorporate practical interpretation strategies and diagnostic tips to improve accuracy and confidence in evaluating challenging lung biopsy cases.
