10025 - Series: B-cell Lymphoma: An image intensive guide to work-up and classification

Description

Understanding the key diagnostic steps for diagnosing lymphoid malignancies is essential for pathologists to arrive at accurate diagnosis of B- and T-cell malignancies. This complex evaluation requires integration of clinical, histologic, immunophenotypic, and molecular characteristics. Image-intensive sources that illustrate the key diagnostic criteria are not easily found in current textbooks. This series of courses is designed to guide Surgical Pathologists, Hematopathologists, and trainees through a method algorithm for diagnosis and classification of B-cell lymphomas.
