Unusual But Non-Esoteric Tumors of the Genitourinary Tract From Which You Cannot Hide

Unusual But Non-Esoteric Tumors of the Genitourinary Tract From Which You Cannot Hide is organized by United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology (USCAP) and will be held from Dec 03 - 05, 2025 at USCAP Interactive Center, Palm Springs, California, United States of America.

Course Description
The surgical pathology of the genitourinary tract is primarily characterized by a dominant tumor type in each organ: clear cell renal cell carcinoma, urothelial carcinoma, prostatic acinar adenocarcinoma, and germ cell tumors. This course will focus on less common entities at each site that surgical pathologists are likely to encounter throughout their careers. It will shed light on their key differential diagnoses and how to avoid diagnostic pitfalls. Join this expert panel of genitourinary pathologists as they guide you in navigating these less common entities that you may come across in your practice.

Learning Objectives:

• Recognize the spectrum of kidney, bladder, prostate, and testicular/paratesticular neoplasia beyond common renal cell carcinomas, urothelial carcinoma, acinar adenocarcinoma, and germ cell tumors, respectively.
• Recognize the clinical implications of these less common neoplasms.
• Appropriately work up cases with unusual histology to navigate the differential diagnosis by using morphologic clues, immunohistochemical findings, and molecular techniques, as needed.

Course Schedule:
During the 30-minute Slide Preview session, glass slides are reviewed at the individual microscopes. Participants receive 90 seconds to preview the slide, and then it is passed to the next attendee. Each slide preview session has up to 18 cases. After the Slide Preview, attendees move from the individual microscopes to the multiheaded teaching microscope to start the Case Discussion.
