Cutaneous Melanocytic Lesions: Do Not Miss the Invisible Gorilla on
That Lesion!
- Victor G. Prieto, UT – M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX |
The Companion Meeting course director decides the topics for this course, and chose systemic skin disease, cutaneous adnexal lesions, lymphoid skin lesions, spindle cell tumoprs, and cutaneous melanocytic lesions due to the ongoing census of diagnoses made by physicians on staff and data from peer-reviewed journals, government sources, consensus reports. These sources identified a professional practice gap and was determined as an educational need for specialty physicians, fellows in training, residents in dermatology and pathology and physicians specializing in pathology and dermatopathology.
There is a group of histologic features essential for the diagnosis of cutaneous lesions that may be difficult to be diagnosed by non-specialist pathologists. The educational need to address the gap was that non-dermatopathologists pathologists should be able to distinguish a majority of these features in order to establish the correct diagnosis or likely associated internal diseases.
The learning objectives for this symposia are:
- Recognize histologic features in skin biopsies associated with systemic disease.
- Discriminate essential histologic features in skin biopsies associated with benign or malignant lesions.
After attending, attendees should be able to correctly recognize the presence of essential histologic features in skin biopsies. |
