FULL-DAY COURSE
A Practical and Contemporary Approach to Soft Tissue Tumor Pathology
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 8 | 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM | IN-PERSON | 6.00 CME CREDITS
Topics include spindle cell tumors, pleomorphic and round cell sarcomas, and adipocytic and vascular neoplasms, as well as special topics such as pediatric tumors and mesenchymal neoplasms of the head and neck. Throughout the course, faculty will emphasize the judicious application of immunohistochemistry (introducing recently developed diagnosis markers) and the role of molecular diagnostics.
This course will also feature interactive exercises illustrating diagnostic approaches to other selected topics in soft tissue tumor pathology, including myxoid soft tissue tumors, acral mesenchymal tumors, and next-generation sequencing.
This advanced-level, full-day course targets general surgical pathologists with exposure to diagnosing soft tissue tumors.
Learning Objectives
- Develop a strategy to distinguish among soft tissue tumors with prominent myxoid stroma.
- Apply immunohistochemistry for the differential diagnosis of head and neck soft tissue tumors and spindle cell sarcomas.
- Identify immunohistochemistry and molecular techniques for the differential diagnosis of pediatric fibroblastic tumors.
- Apply immunohistochemistry to aid in the diagnosis of recently described soft tissue tumors, novel markers to aid in the diagnosis of vascular tumors, the differential diagnosis of round cell sarcomas, and adipocytic tumors.
- Recognize the key histologic features of fascicular spindle cell sarcomas, round cell sarcomas, recently described soft tissue tumors, and mesenchymal neoplasms with a predilection for the head and neck.
- Identify key histologic features to distinguish among vascular neoplasms.
- Analyze the key clinical and histologic features of pediatric fibroblastic tumors.
- Identify the contemporary classification of adipocytic neoplasms.
- Order next-generation sequencing in select circumstances to help diagnosis soft tissue tumors.

HOT TOPIC
Can You Bank on Your Blood Supply: Using Blood Wisely and in Shortages
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8 | 7:30 AM – 9:00 AM | IN-PERSON, VIRTUAL
Matthew Karafin, MD, FCAP and Glenn E. Ramsey, MD, FCAP will synthesize multidisciplinary transfusion practice recommendations for all blood components into a logical framework applicable to blood management programs, and electronic guidance for blood ordering. Participants will use audience response technology to share benchmarking information on their current practices and learn how to apply up-to-date guidelines.
