Gap and Needs
Many GI biopsies are problematic because they contain changes, including inflammations and polyps, that do not fit neatly into well-established diagnostic categories. Practical guidelines to deal with these biopsies are needed. Also, as a result of an ever increasing load of endoscopic biopsies, surgical pathologists are confronted with more and more polyps in the stomach that are unique to that site and with which they may have had little experience. Basic histologic features of the most common gastric polyps will enhance competency in diagnosis.
The serrated pathway to colorectal carcinoma has been recognized as a much more important pathway than previously thought. Understanding serrated polyps, their cancer associations, and their microscopic characteristics are needed to offer an approach to dealing with diagnostically difficult cases.
Learning Objectives
Achieve understanding of practical guidelines as to how to deal with these problematic biopsies.
Know basic histologic features of the most common gastric polyps, and apply them in diagnosis.
Recognize the importance of serrated polyps and gain a competent approach to dealing with them
Attendees will learn the histopathology of a wide variety of types of esophagitis including reflux, eosinophilic, lymphocytic, sloughing, pill-induced and infectious.
Attendees will learn the histopathology of celiac disease as well as its differential diagnosis.
Attendees will learn to identify a wide variety of infections in the GI tract.
The IAP designates this activity for 6.0 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with their participation in the activity.
** SAM Credit
The Indiana Association of Pathologists is approved by the American Board of Pathology to grant Self-Assessment Module (SAM) credit. Successful completion of a quiz is required. Learners may only claim credit for one type of credit--CME or SAM.
Physicians who are not pathologists may
recognize that the learning opportunity of this seminar may help close a
practice gap of their own. Non-pathologist physicians are generally not eligible
for membership with the IAP. However, we welcome these physicians and
they may attend the meeting at the IAP member price. Please contact iap@indianapath.org for registration with discount.
Indiana pathologists unsure of their membership status may contact the IAP office for assistance at iap@indianapath.org.
