Practical Surgical Pathology

September 11-13, 2008
Leighton Auditorium
Harold W. Siebens Medical Education Building
Rochester, Minnesota

Description

The Practical Surgical Pathology conference will address common but difficult diagnostic problems encountered by the pathologist in everyday practice. Every effort will be made to present cases of common practical value. Participants and faculty will review case histories, examine case images, and formulate the diagnosis. The unique subtleties and differentiating characteristics of each diagnosis are then highlighted. Faculty and participants will also discuss the strategy used for managing each patient’s case. Images of all cases presented will be provided on a DVD to be viewed by virtual microscopy.

The program format features multiple specialty areas each day. Throughout the two and one-half days of the conference, 32 cases will be presented and discussed. Audience participation is strongly encouraged.

The following areas have been selected for discussion:

Bone	Gastrointestinal	Pancreas
Bone Marrow	Genitourinary	Pulmonary
Brain	Gynecology	Skin
Breast	Liver	Soft Tissue
Endocrine	Lymph Node	Vascular
Ears, Nose and Throat	Ophthalmic Pathology

Learning Objectives

By the end of the conference, participants should be able to:

• Identify common diagnostic problems of pathologies selected for study
• Interpret appropriate ancillary tests for study cases
• Classify each case according to pathology type
• Enumerate the treatment options of each case diagnosis
