Description:
Liver biopsies are a common specimen in most surgical pathology practices. Liver biopsy interpretation is challenging because many liver diseases manifest overlapping histological features. A systematic pattern-based approach facilitates the identification of subtle features that help to narrow the differential diagnoses, correlate findings with clinical data, and provide a meaningful report.

Course Objectives:
Upon completion of this educational activity, learners will be able to:
. Recognize hepatic, lobular, biliary, and vascular patterns of liver injury, and use histological clues and clinical data to formulate a meaningful diagnosis
. Diagnose hepatocellular, biliary, and mesenchymal liver tumors, and differentiate between benign and malignant lesions as well as their mimics
. Diagnose common post-transplant pathologies in allograft biopsies
. Recognize subtle histological findings in liver biopsies that appear to be near normal
