Recognizing Gynecologic Tumors
Gynecologic Pathology focuses on lesions occurring in the female genital system, including classification guidelines, revised terminology and diagnostic pearls. Lectures and microscopy sessions are organized by anatomic location and type of diagnosis: inflammatory, neoplastic, low grade, high grade. Part of our Masters of Pathology Series, this online CME course will help you in:

* Classifying tumors using histologic criteria for prognosis
* Applying the correct algorithm to diagnoses
* Using recently discovered immunohistochemistry antibodies and molecular data
* And more…

Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this CME activity, the participant will be able to:

– Recognize the main inflammatory conditions of the vulva
– Be familiar with the concepts in squamous intraepithelial neoplasia
– Diagnose and apply histologic criteria for prognosis of endocervical carcinoma
– Recognize the histologic types of endometrial carcinoma
– Apply universal testing to detect Lynch syndrome patients
– Recognize the main mesenchymal tumors of the uterus and the most useful ancillary tests for diagnosis
– Diagnose precursor lesions of serous carcinogenesis in the fallopian tube
– Distinguish between clear cell, endometrioid and serous carcinomas of the ovary
– Be familiar with germ cell and sex cord stromal tumors of the ovary
– Navigate through the main diagnostic challenges in placental pathology

Intended Audience
This educational activity is intended for training and practicing pathologists and gynecologists.
