Surgical Pathology of the Head and Neck

The sheer volume of pathologic entities that one can encounter in the head and neck- from unique epithelial, mesenchymal, and hematolymphoid neoplasms to non-neoplastic entities- makes this one of the most daunting areas of surgical pathology. Other challenges include the need to integrate clinical, radiographic, immunohistochemical, and even molecular testing, to arrive at the appropriate diagnosis. This comprehensive four-day course will provide the guidance you need to streamline your approach to any given lesion.

A nationally recognized faculty with extensive experience as members of large consultation practices will share their insights about problems that often lead to the need for diagnostic consultation. You will be carefully guided through: - appropriate integration of clinical, radiographic, immunohistochemical, and molecular data for improved categorization and stratification of head and neck tumors - accurate interpretation of laryngeal biopsies -classification of salivary gland tumors and odontogenic lesions -distinguishing features of various thyroid and parathyroid tumors and tumor-like lesions
