Both neoplastic and non-neoplastic bone and soft tissue pathology pose significant diagnostic challenges to the practicing pathologist. The complexity of these entities and the diverse histologic spectrum of mesenchymal pathology can make it difficult to accurately diagnose and distinguish between different tumors and non-neoplastic conditions. However, as the field of pathology continues to evolve, new entities and diagnostic techniques are constantly being discovered and introduced.

The course “New and Challenging Entities in Bone and Soft Tissue Pathology” is designed to address these challenges and provide pathologists with the knowledge and skills necessary to confidently diagnose and differentiate between difficult cases. Presented by expert educators, this course aims to introduce participants to newer entities and help them navigate through old challenges in the field. By the end of the course, participants will have a better understanding of distinguishing features of histologically challenging tumors of bone and soft tissue, as well as the ability to recognize common non-neoplastic bone pathology.

The target audience for this course includes practicing academic and community pathologists, as well as pathologists-in-training. Whether you are an experienced pathologist looking to refresh your knowledge or a trainee seeking to expand your understanding of bone and soft tissue pathology, this course offers valuable insights and practical information that can be applied to your practice.

The learning objectives of this course are as follows:

1. Describe common non-neoplastic entities in bone and joint pathology and recognize their mimics.
2. Discuss the differential diagnosis for epithelioid and myxoid tumors of soft tissue and design a relevant panel of ancillary testing to aid in their distinction.
3. Develop a differential diagnosis for challenging bone tumors based on histologic and clinical-radiologic features.
4. Describe selected new entities in soft tissue pathology and apply immunohistochemical and molecular studies in their workup.

The course consists of four comprehensive topics presented by leading experts in the field:

• New Entities in Soft Tissue Neoplasia – Elizabeth G. Demicco, MD, PhD
• Challenging Bone and Soft Tissue Tumors – G. Pétur Nielsen, MD
• Epithelioid and/or Myxoid Tumors of Soft Tissue – Vickie Y. Jo, MD
• Non-neoplastic Bone and Joint Disease – Roberto A. Garcia, MD

By enrolling in this course, you will gain access to the most up-to-date information and techniques in bone and soft tissue pathology. The expert educators will guide you through each topic, providing valuable insights and practical tips that can be immediately applied to your practice.

Whether you are faced with challenging bone tumors, difficult soft tissue neoplasms, or non-neoplastic bone and joint diseases, this course will equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary to accurately diagnose and manage these cases. By the end of the course, you will have a deeper understanding of the histologic and clinical features of these entities, as well as the tools and techniques available for their workup.
