This year’s Course will provide a brief Update on Melanoma and Melanocytic Proliferations which will focus on new molecular technologies and markers likely to revolutionize diagnostic practice and key differential diagnoses important to routine practice of dermatopathology. 

 

The major part of the Course will be devoted to review of Critical and Urgent Diagnoses (Dermatopathology in a Hospital Setting). This module will review medical entities where skin biopsy plays a significant role with primary objective to review salient features enabling accurate diagnosis. This module will focus on entities and problems likely to be encountered by general pathologists and dermatopathologists practicing in a hospital setting.

 

Finally, we will present the most Comprehensive Course on Alopecia ever attempted. The objective of the Alopecia module will be to discuss all critical differential diagnoses involving alopecia. This module may also be of interest to dermatopathologists taking care of alopecia patients. The primary target audiences for the Course are practicing dermatopathologists, pathologists and dermatologists utilizing skin biopsy in their practice.

 

WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU THERE!

Course Objectives

The Edinburgh Dermatopathology Tutorial is an annual course designed to provide a practical approach to different topics in Dermatopathology, delivered by extensive self study of a large and varied selection of cases using glass slides. This year’s course aims to increase awareness of the vast spectrum of skin adnexal tumours. Attendees will be provided with individual microscopes and will be able to study 60 selected cases in the context of their clinical histories. These cases will subsequently be discussed, using live microscopic projection, by our group of internationally renowned tutors. Discussion will be based around the individual diagnosis placed in the broader context of differential diagnosis. In a relaxed atmosphere participants will be encouraged to participate in the discussion and suggest possible diagnoses. To facilitate the discussion, tutors will give 30 minute lectures providing an overview of cutaneous skin adnexal tumour pathology based on morphological differentiation such as follicular, sebaceous as well as benign and malignant sweat gland tumours. Participants will be provided with a course syllabus containing copies of the introductory lectures. The course is suited to Pathologists with an interest in Dermatopathology as well as practising Dermatopathologists and Dermatologists and Pathologists in training preparing for the British Diploma, the International Board Certification and/or the American Board examination in Dermatopathology.

 

Attendance is limited to 50 participants.
