2021 Classic Lectures in Pathology: What You Need to Know: Soft Tissue Pathology

This CME Activity offers a practical review of soft tissue and bone pathology combining basic to advanced techniques, pearls and pitfalls to pathologic diagnosis and case reviews.

This CME activity is primarily intended and designed to educate pathologists.

Educational Symposia

Physicians: Educational Symposia is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

Educational Symposia designates this enduring material for a maximum of 19.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)^TM. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

This CME activity was planned and produced in accordance with the ACCME Essential Areas and Elements.

At the completion of this CME activity, subscribers should be able to:

• Develop an approach to common morphologic patterns seen in soft tissue tumors.
• Discuss the ancillary diagnostic approach to difficult soft tissue tumors including immunohistochemistry, molecular, and genetic diagnostic tests.
• Discuss bone-forming and cartilage-forming soft tissue tumors, as well as sarcomas that may occasionally produce matrix.
• Discuss the differential diagnosis of a spindle cell sarcoma with herringbone/fascicular growth.
• Develop an integrated approach to the most common bone tumors seen by practicing pathologists.
• Explain ancillary diagnostic techniques including immunohistochemistry and molecular diagnostics in the approach to difficult soft tissue tumors.
• Describe the most important diagnostic clues in arriving at a specific diagnosis in the most common patterns seen in soft tissue tumor.

No special educational preparation is required for this CME activity
