The USCAP Liver Pathology P’s and Q’s: The Perplexing and the Quotidian 2022 course is a comprehensive guide to liver pathology, gallbladder and biliary tree, designed for both junior and experienced pathologists who deal with these specimens daily. With the rise of medical advances, the histologic patterns encountered in liver biopsies have become increasingly complex. This course offers clarity on the usual and unusual patterns of injury observed in liver biopsies, and offers tools to solve challenging metabolic and pediatric liver diseases. Pathologists will gain an understanding of how to interpret liver biopsies from patients with complex systemic diseases.

The course covers common and uncommon causes of acute hepatitis, chronic hepatitis, and cholestatic liver disease. It also addresses tumors involving the liver, biliary tree, and gallbladder, including how to recognize specific morphologic features, use immunohistochemistry judiciously, and apply selective molecular diagnostics.

The course content includes The Innocent Bystander – The Liver in Systemic Diseases and Assorted Oddities, Metabolism Gone Awry – Metabolic Liver Disease and The Metabolic Syndrome, Pediatric Liver Pathology for Adults, WHO’s Who in Biliary and Gallbladder Neoplasms, A Potpourri of Unusual Liver Lesions, Biliary Tract Disease – Looking at The Liver with A Jaundiced Eye, Benign and Malignant Hepatocellular Neoplasms – Stumped by A Liver Lump, and Acute and Chronic Hepatitis – The Bread & Butter, Pitfalls and Zebras.

Upon completion of the course, pathologists will be able to recognize the common and uncommon causes of acute hepatitis, chronic hepatitis, and cholestatic liver disease. They will also be able to correctly classify usual and unusual tumors of the liver, biliary tree, and gallbladder. Moreover, they will understand the important metabolic diseases that affect the liver and identify patterns of injury that commonly affect pediatric patients. The course will also help pathologists distinguish systemic diseases affecting the liver from primary liver diseases.

This course provides an excellent opportunity for practicing academic and community pathologists, and pathologists-in-training to upgrade their knowledge and skills. With eight videos and nine PDFs, it offers an extensive and immersive learning experience.
