2024 Tutorial In Pathology of the
GI Tract, Pancreas, and Liver
Gastrointestinal pathology emerged as a subspecialty in the mid-to-late 1980s, coincident with utilization of endoscopy with mucosal biopsy for diagnosis and management of patients with gastrointestinal disorders. The widespread availability of endoscopy coupled with advances in tissue acquisition techniques have drastically increased the number and variety of gastrointestinal samples pathologists encounter in daily practice. As a result, pathologists are now required to provide comprehensive diagnostic information based on review of scant material. Classification of tumors is often completed based on interpretation of immunohistochemical stains coupled with molecular analyses to identify druggable targets or underlying germline conditions. Pathologists also direct the evaluation of patients with gastrointestinal complaints, particularly when patients have persistent symptoms or are immunosuppressed. Thus, they must be able to hone in on key features present in biopsy material in order to narrow the differential diagnosis and better direct patient care. This course is intended to address these needs in a succinct and pragmatic fashion.

Bone and Soft Tissue Pathology: Keep Calm and Navigate the Updates and Pitfalls
The diagnosis of soft tissue tumors is challenging, even for experienced surgical pathologists. This inherent difficulty is compounded by the rapidly evolving classification of soft tissue tumors, as new entities and genetic alterations are being described at an unprecedented rate. Given the rarity of such tumors, the broad histologic spectrum of mesenchymal neoplasms, and resemblance to other mesenchymal and non-mesenchymal tumors, pathologists need an in-depth look at updates and potential pitfalls. This course, led by experts, will help alleviate these challenges through interactive discussions and illustrative cases.

USCAP Presents:
Hematopathology: Current Classifications and Diagnostic Dilemmas
The practice of hematopathology diagnostics in the modern era is a dynamic and challenging field, especially for general pathologists, junior faculty, and trainees. In addition to the ever-expanding landscape of ancillary studies, especially molecular and cytogenetic studies, two new classification schemes arrived on the scene in 2022. The new International Consensus Classification and the updated WHO 5th edition classification, offer similar but not identical frameworks for clinical diagnostic hematopathology. Additionally, distinction of reactive from neoplastic entities remains a continuous challenge in both bone marrow and lymphoid tissue. Finally, clinical hematology, which impacts the treatment of our patients, is also a continuously evolving field and it is essential to understand how to best provide diagnoses that are updated, accurate, and accessible to our clinical colleagues. This course will seek to highlight diagnostic issues raised by these recent advances through an interactive case-based format. These cases will illustrate how to interpret and apply morphologic criteria in the diagnosis of hematologic neoplasms, especially areas of ambiguity or disagreement within the two classifications. It will also highlight how to avoid diagnosing malignancy in benign mimics, and how apply ancillary testing in concert with the morphology, particularly when there are discordant or unexpected results. The target audience is general pathologists who diagnose bone marrow and lymphoid lesions, practicing hematopathologists and advanced hematopathology trainees.

Gynecologic Pathology: Practical Strategies for Modern Practice
Surgical pathologists practicing gynecologic pathology work in vastly different practice settings throughout the world. Consistent terminology and criteria for the diagnosis of entities is critical to ensure clear and effective communication, facilitating optimal prognostication and treatment. In recent years, advances in multiple areas of gynecologic pathology have changed our collective understanding of a variety of diseases. Many of these changes were reflected in the recent 2020 WHO Classification of Tumors of the Gynecologic Tract, which included changes in both terminology and diagnostic criteria. In addition, the evolution of targeted therapy has led to increasing requests for tumor biomarker testing, which differs by tumor location and histotype. This multimodal course will provide attendees with a comprehensive update in the practice of gynecologic pathology. Join the expert faculty for lectures, case-based interactive slide sessions, and panel discussions on hot topics.

Navigating Challenging Entities in Head and Neck/Endocrine Pathology: WHO 5th Edition and Beyond
Head and neck pathology is challenging given the broad diversity of entities that are part of the functional (rather than simply theoretical) vocabulary at these sites. With the beta releases of the 5th editions of both the Head and Neck and Endocrine World Health Organization (WHO) Classifications of Tumors in 2022, several new concepts and entities have arisen and still remain challenging. Furthermore, since the publication of WHO 5th edition, several provisional entities and concepts have emerged making it difficult to adapt these new changes into practice. Through this course, the participants will learn diagnostic features, practical reporting, key prognostic, and theragnostic information for a variety of new and uncommon tumor types spanning several head and neck and endocrine sites. This course is a collaboration between the North American Society of Head and Neck Pathology and USCAP.

Urologic Pathology Practice in the Eyes of Genitourinary Pathology Society (GUPS) Presidents
The field of urologic pathology is rapidly evolving with improved integration of histopathology, immunohistochemistry, artificial intelligence, and molecular concepts of urological cancers. Clinical management of urologic cancers also continues to evolve, with growing roles for surveillance, and neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapies, specifically in the context of precision medicine. Practicing pathologists may not be aware of the clinically significant new tumor types, modified grading and staging criteria, and new reporting requirements that have been recently put forth by various international organizations to meet the needs of precision patient management. The Genitourinary Pathology Society (GUPS), an international organization aiming to advance the science and practice of urologic pathology, is pleased to collaborate and partner with USCAP to bring this special interactive microscopy course to the Palm Springs Interactive Center. GUPS' past, present, and future presidents will utilize over 72 index cases and many examples of variations to demonstrate their approach to diagnosis and differential diagnosis of urologic tumors. A variety of important new advancements in the field of urologic pathology will be discussed.
