GI Lymphomas: EATL, MALT and Beyond
Gastrointestinal lymphomas often present a diagnostic difficulty for the surgical pathologist for variety of reasons. In this presentation, we will discuss the aspects of such difficulties, review specific examples of lymphomas involving the GI tract, review relevant topics from the WHO2016 update to the Classification of Tumors of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues, and propose a rational and pragmatic approach to making a diagnosis.
Originally presented on February 8, 2018, in Park City, Utah.
