The course is limited to lesions of the tubular gastrointestinal tract. Lymphomas and lesions of the pancreatico-biliary tract and liver will not be addressed. Both common and rare conditions will be presented and set into a clinical context. On each day, 20 cases will be extensively discussed by an interactive approach. Particular attention will be paid to diagnostic criteria and differential diagnoses.
The value and limitations of immunohistochemistry will be critically discussed. A comprehensive review and update on histopathology will be provided. The participants will have the opportunity to review 60 digitized cases (virtual microscopy) four weeks prior to and after the course.
