The topics of the program were chosen by an informal poll of members, a review of the programs from recent meetings and consultations with current and past office bearers of the society, based upon the current difficulties in differential diagnoses in endocrine neoplasia. This symposium highlights problematic diagnostic areas of endocrine pathology, formulates a differential diagnosis, and discusses the histological appearances of the endocrine tumors that may give an indication of an underlying syndrome. The objective of the program is to update general surgical pathologists to recognize important diagnostic and clinicopathologic features in selected areas of endocrine pathology.
