The program committee selected soft tissue pathology as this year's topic. Based on recent advances and current issues in this specialized field, topics and speakers were selected. Presenters will discuss the contemporary approach to diagnosis of soft tissue tumors, current concepts of two important diagnostic areas which are undergoing reassessment, and issues associated with a consultation practice in this challenging area. The object of the program is to update general surgical pathologists on important diagnostic and clinicopathologic issues in selected areas of soft tissue tumor pathology.
