Connect Sign InPitfalls in the Diagnosis of Hematologic Conditions
This presentation will cover syphilis, myeloid sarcoma and liposarcoma mimickers that might be misdiagnosed in diagnostic hematopathology. Clinical cases with abundant hematoxylin and eosin pictures, accompanied by pertinent immunohistochemical stains will be discussed. Each case will provide clinicopathologic findings, differential diagnosis, and appropriate ancillary testing.
