CONCEPT
This seminar will cover the important clinical and histologic features and variations for both common and unusual diseases of the gastrointestinal system and liver, underlining the most characteristic features. Case presentations will be used to highlight a practical approach to diagnosis. Issues regarding pathogenesis and treatment that are of importance to the Surgical Pathologist will be covered. The overall aim is to refresh the attendee’s knowledge and to provide a conceptual framework that will allow the Pathologist to approach gastrointestinal and medical liver specimens with confidence.
OBJECTIVES
At the completion of the seminar, participants will be able to:
-
Improve the diagnosis of mimics of chronic idiopathic inflammatory bowel.
-
Improve the diagnosis of celiac disease and its mimics, and understand clinical implications.
-
Improve the diagnosis of medical liver disease, including fatty liver disease, viral hepatitis, and common drug induced liver injuries.
