Don't miss this unique opportunity to discover the decisive thought processes of the distinguished faculty when determining differential diagnoses. Get tips and advice for navigating critical areas such as diagnosis of the many variants of ovarian tumors and "look-alike" entities, plus pointers for addressing complicating factors.

You'll benefit from the best of both worlds: an overview of the spectrum of gynecologic pathology from both histopathologic and cytopathology perspectives combined with an update on the wide variety of lesions of the female genital system. Gain the latest information on liquid-based cytology, HPV testing, and other diagnostic approaches; TIC as a possible precursor of ovarian and peritoneal serous carcinomas; the new Bethesda System for reporting Pap smears; FIGO staging of uterine corpus cancers; and more.

Following this course, you will be able to:

• Apply diagnostic criteria for both common and uncommon lesions of the female genital tract.
• Differentiate malignant and premalignant lesions; assess their histopathologic, cytopathologic, and molecular similarities and differences; and identify important prognostic markers.
• Apply your diagnostic skills to delineate and correlate cytopathology and histopathology of cervical and female peritoneal lesions.
• Advise clinicians regarding the pathologic manifestations of a wide range of gynecologic and pregnancy-related diseases.
