Liver Pathology: Essentials of Daily Practice Course is organized by United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology (USCAP).
Original release date: November 28, 2023
Access to this course expires on: November 6, 2026
Description:
Liver biopsies are a common specimen in most surgical pathology practices. Liver biopsy interpretation is challenging because many liver diseases manifest overlapping histological features. A systematic pattern-based approach facilitates the identification of subtle features that help to narrow the differential diagnoses, correlate findings with clinical data, and provide a meaningful report.
Course Objectives:
Upon completion of this educational activity, learners will be able to:
. Recognize hepatic, lobular, biliary, and vascular patterns of liver injury, and use histological clues and clinical data to formulate a meaningful diagnosis
. Diagnose hepatocellular, biliary, and mesenchymal liver tumors, and differentiate between benign and malignant lesions as well as their mimics
. Diagnose common post-transplant pathologies in allograft biopsies
. Recognize subtle histological findings in liver biopsies that appear to be near normal
Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
