USCAP Challenges in Hematopathology: Tricky Differentials and Diagnostic Dilemmas (Videos + PDFs)

Modern hematopathology is a rapidly evolving field that requires integration of morphologic findings with flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, and detailed molecular analyses to diagnose and properly classify different entities.

This course will highlight common diagnostic scenarios through an interactive case-based format. This course will provide actionable information on use of ancillary studies in workup of lymphoid and myeloid neoplasm (with special emphasis on integration of cytogenetic and molecular findings), as well as non-neoplastic entities. Integration of clinical, radiologic and laboratory findings is critically important in the diagnostic decision making in hematopathology, particularly in areas such as bone marrow pathology and challenging lymphoid neoplasms.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this educational activity, learners will be able to:

• Recognize pitfalls and challenges of common and rare hematologic disorders
• Apply targeted and judicious use of ancillary studies in bone marrow and tissue specimens
• Recognize reactive proliferations that can mimic lymphoid or myeloid neoplasms
