Immunohistochemical stains play an important role in identifying the more appropriate diagnosis and directing therapeutic choices. This webinar focuses on the importance of ways to guarantee a constant internal quality control. National external quality programmes have been organised in some countries, but it is also possible to build up a system for external quality assessment through a collaboration between different departments.

Dra. Veronica Bengiò | MD, PhD, Pathologist |Hospital Córdoba, ArgentinaStromal prostatic tumor is a rare lesion thaspan a spectrum from monophasic to biphasic (phyllodes type) tumors, with controversial terminology and pathology, whose most accepted terminology is Prostatic stromal tumors with uncertain malignant potential (STUMP); they generally have good prognosis, although may have recur, invade locally or metastasize. Owing to the rarity of this tumor, there is not yet a consensus on appropriate management. We report a case of a 81 year old man with lower urinary tract symptoms, ...

The "digital pathology" has been used successfully in South Tyrol for the performance of intraoperative examinations in the three peripheral hospitals of Merano, Bressanone and Brunico.Being devoid of pathological anatomy, originally the execution of intraoperative examinations in those locations required a pathologist and a technician from the Bolzano hospital to go there in person with a portable freezer.Since 2003, the development of a project has begun for the use of a digital platform that would allow the reading of extemporaneous preparations to the freezer remotely, avoiding the ...

Quality general concepts are explained in this webinar together with the strategies to be put in place in order to pursue continuous improvement in histopathology departments. Special attention is given to receipt of specimens and traceability.

This lecture will cover the key diagnostic features of high-grade CGIN / AIS and the diagnostic pitfalls that may be encountered in cervical cytology.

Small, blue, round cell tumors (SBRCT) is a group of highly heterogeneous malignant and aggressive tumors, which can occur at any age.Tumors in this group are sharing similar morphological appearance, and characterized by small, round nuclei and a narrow cytoplasm, thus gaining more blue color in H&E stained slides.The tumors of this group, which more commonly encountered in children include lymphoblastic lymphoma, Ewing’s sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, nephroblastoma, neuroblastoma, medulloblastoma, retinoblastoma, and hepatoblastoma.Other tumors, such as small cell carcinoma, Merkel cell ...

Besides patients safety, around which all histopathology activities are centered, staff safety is crucial in our departments, where exposure to chemical and biological hazards is constant. It is important to know about the chemicals we deal with in our daily work. Understanding the labels can help identifying the more hazardous chemicals, what the risks are and how to avoid them. This webinar will provide familiarity with the symbols of the CLP (classification, labelling and packaging) system, internationally adopted since 2018 . The environmental safety can be safeguarded with the reduction ...

Dr. Jeyrroy GabrielSenior Specialist Biomedical Scientist | St. John’s Specialist Dermatology Laboratories at St Thomas' Hospital LondonThe diagnosis of heavily pigmented melanocytic lesions is problematic. This is often compounded by lack of visibility of nuclear detail of tumour cells due to physical masking by melanin pigment. Similarly there can be colour merging of chromogenic final reaction products with melanin, making evidence of antigenic localisation problematic. There is a number of melanin bleaching techniques available, the most widely employed method for immunohistochemical (...

Talking about "lean management" in Healthcare in a pandemic era might seem to most a mere philosophical exercise from a cultural circle useful for distracting attention on the current problem.In reality, as I hope will be evident at the end of my attribute, having a managerial / organizational tool such as the "Lean" methodology available would also help to explain some of the many situations of unpreparedness for this emergency, the effects of which we are all well known.In "lean management" and therefore in the "lean" methodology or "lean thinking", deep cultural roots are recognized at the ...

High-quality diagnostics starts with high-quality tissue specimens. This webinar analyses in detail the procedures of the preanalytical phase from specimens grossing to slides labeling with a view to guarantee a quality specimen suitable for any further assessment in times of precision medicine.
