Liver Pathology:
Essentials of Daily Practice

November 6-8, 2023

Course Director: Romil Saxena, MD, MBBS, FRCPath
Available Credits 16 CME

Course 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 identification of subtle features that help to narrow the differential diagnoses, correlate findings with clinical data, and provide a meaningful report. This interactive microscopy course allows independent examination of a teaching set of glass slides followed by discussion around a multi-headed scope, thus filling a knowledge gap that is not covered by didactic lectures or textbooks.

Course Objectives

• 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
