Pediatric pathologists often encounter cases for which they’ve had limited exposure based on the rarity of a particular disease and/or the frequency with which it presents in their research and/or practice. They are presented with cases that are difficult to diagnose and often require additional consultation and/or work-up. Small specimen size and tissue sampling at earlier stages of a disease add to the diagnostic challenge. With the new developments and refinement of diagnostic criteria, particularly as related to genomic etiologies or associated molecular alterations, pediatric pathologists face challenges in staying up to date with new information that is frequently changing based on rapid advancements in technology. Information, tools, and strategies to address challenging cases are necessary to improve accurate diagnoses.

This activity will provide up-to-date information, including the latest research, diagnostic criteria and diagnostic tools and strategies, on a variety of diagnostic entities across the pediatric spectrum for pediatric pathologists to apply this information to their practice and/or research.
