Item Name: The Importance of Onsite Cytological Evaluation and Triage of Bone and Soft Tissue Specimens for Definitive Diagnosis
Marilyn M. Bui, MD, PhD         

Presentation date: May 24, 2011; Expires: May 24, 2014

Bone and soft tissue lesions often present diagnostic challenges. On-site cytological evaluation of such specimens is critical to maximize the chance for definitive diagnosis. This webinar uses examples to demonstrate a practical multidisciplinary approach using clinicoradiological correlation, pattern recognition, specimen triage, and ancillary testing to achieve final diagnosis.

Item Name: A Pattern-Recognition Approach to the FNA Diagnosis of Soft Tissue Tumors. 
Xiaohua Qian M.D., Ph.D.                                                                              

Presentation date: March 22, 2011; Expires: March 22, 2014

A pattern-recognition approach to the diagnosis of various soft tissue tumors will be presented. Six patterns will be discussed: adipocytic, myxoid, spindle cell, small round blue cell, epithelioid, and pleomorphic. The importance of proper tissue triage for ancillary studies and awareness of diagnostic pitfalls for soft tissue tumors in each pattern will be emphasized.
