Course Objectives

This postgraduate course deals with diagnostic hematopathology and will take place in Linz from the 26th to the 28th June, 2019. The course is focused on reviewing diagnostic cases from all areas of hematopathology, including lymph nodes, bone marrow biopsies and extranodal manifestations of hematolymphoid disorders, including both lymphoid and myeloid neoplasms based on the 2016 update of the WHO classification, as well as difficult reactive disorders.

On each day, a number of cases will be extensively discussed by the faculty members using an interactive approach with live microscopic demonstration. Particular attention will be given to the diagnostic criteria, differential diagnosis and the rational use and limitations of immunochemistry and molecular genetic testing, as well as the integration of histological/immunochemical and molecular findings. Several lectures will give an overview on classification of malignant disorders and diagnostic issues, complementing the case discussions. The participants will have the opportunity to review the digitized cases (virtual microscopy) four weeks prior to and after the course.
