Dear Friends,

 

Happy New Year to everyone and I wish you all the best in 2009   I am writing to you now in more detail about the one-day Workshop on the “State of the art, nomenclature, and points of consensus and controversy on benign melanocytic lesions” is to be held on Tuesday, March 3, 2009 in San Francisco, CA, USA , before the International Society of Dermatopathology (ISDP) meeting and subsequent American Academy of Dermatology.

 

As you know a block of hotel rooms have been reserved at a special rate for the nights of March 2 and 3, 2009 at the Marines’ Memorial Club and Hotel for which is the site of the subsequent ISDP meeting.  Please reserve your room if you have not done so.

 

As you recall, the Workshop will take place at a multi-headed microscope at the UCSF Dermatopathology Service thanks to the kind and generous offer of Phil LeBoit.  Below is the schedule of topics for the Workshop.  The morning session has been rearranged to allow for a general discussion of “nevi” and the more exotic lesions will be covered in the afternoon.  Please see the attachment concerning more details for the discussion.  I will write to each of you in the six groups in an effort to share the work among everyone, focus the discussion and to avoid duplication of subjects, etc.
