The Slide Library opens Friday during the meeting and will be open 24-hours through Sunday.

One hundred selected cases from the continuously growing slide library will be available for microscopic examination. Cases are accompanied by the diagnosis and other relevant written information and references. Case summaries, diagnoses with discussion and references will be distributed to participants at the meeting.

Upon completion of study, participants should be able to:

  • Explain the histologic diagnosis of various skin conditions, including the use of ancillary studies, where appropriate.
  • Interpret the histologic diagnosis of uncommon skin diseases.
  • Critique cases that highlight diagnostic challenges.
  • Apply morphological criteria to the differential diagnosis of cutaneous lesions.
  • Develop appropriate differential diagnoses for a wide spectrum of tumors and dermatoses.
