Both common and rare conditions will be presented and set into a clinical context. On each day, at least 20 cases will be extensively discussed by an interactive approach. Particular attention will be paid to diagnostic criteria and differential diagnoses.
The value and limitations of immunohistochemistry will be critically discussed. A comprehensive review and update on histopathology will be provided.
