About This CME Teaching Activity
This CME Activity offers a practical review of soft tissue pathology combining basic to advanced techniques, pearls and pitfalls to pathologic diagnosis and case reviews.
Target Audience
This CME activity is intended and designed to educate pathologists.
Educational Objectives
At the completion of this CME teaching activity, you should be able to:
Develop an approach to common morphologic patterns seen in 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.
Describe ancillary diagnostic techniques including immunohistochemistry and molecular diagnostics in the approach to difficult soft tissue tumors.
Discuss the limitations of conventional diagnostic markers for soft tissue tumors.
