Head and Neck Pathology 2014 (CME Videos)

Overview

Head and Neck Pathology 2014 (CME Videos) is a comprehensive digital program designed to enhance understanding of head and neck pathology classifications and diagnostic techniques. This on-demand resource presents detailed discussions on pathology of the oral cavity, nose and nasal sinuses, pharynx, larynx, neck, thyroid, parathyroid, paraganglia, and head and neck lymphoid tissue. Emphasis is placed on new classifications, identification of novel entities, immunohistochemistry, and molecular biology approaches.

On-demand pathology education — accessible anytime, anywhere.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

• Discuss recent histopathological classifications of oral, laryngeal, and pharyngeal tumors, emphasizing the latest expert WHO recommendations and correlating histopathology with tumor therapy response, including advances in dental tumors and related conditions such as cysts.
• Explain the main features of salivary gland tumors and related conditions, incorporating recent classifications and newly recognized subtypes, and understand the molecular genetic basis relevant for classification and treatment.
• Describe the diagnostic value of fine needle aspiration biopsy in head and neck lesions.
• Review key pathological features of thyroid, parathyroid, and paraganglia neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases, including diagnostic challenges.
• Identify important aspects and common forms of head and neck lymphoma, recognizing diagnostic difficulties.
