Fine Needle Aspiration and Small Biopsy of Pediatric Round Cell Tumors
Webcast
2 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ ...OVERVIEW
Fine Needle Aspiration and Small Biopsy of Pediatric Round Cell Tumors is organized by American Society of Cytopathology (ASC).
Course opens: September 26, 2023
Course expires: September 25, 2026
Description:
The diagnosis of pediatric round cell tumors by FNA and small tissue biopsies can be challenging, due to significant morphologic overlap between these entities. The differential diagnosis includes tumors arising in a variety of tissues and organs; the age of the patient and location of the tumor can help narrow the differential diagnosis and guide triaging and choice of ancillary studies. Many of these tumors have recurrent genetic abnormalities, which help to confirm the diagnosis. Importantly, the requirements of treatment protocols and associated biologic studies can limit the use of FNA as a primary diagnostic tool in this population.
Learning Objectives:
• Describe the cytologic features and histologic correlates of common and uncommon round cell tumors that occur in children and list differential diagnostic considerations for these entities
• Describe appropriate ancillary studies to enhance the diagnosis of pediatric round cell tumors in cytologic specimens and small biopsies
• Discuss the limitations of and pitfalls in the diagnosis of pediatric round cell tumors in cytologic specimens and small biopsies
