Course Description
Liver biopsies are a common specimen in most surgical pathology practices. Liver biopsy interpretation is challenging because many liver diseases manifest overlapping histological features. A systematic pattern-based approach facilitates identification of subtle features that help to narrow the differential diagnoses, correlate findings with clinical data, and provide a meaningful report.Target Audience
Practicing academic and community pathologists, and pathologists-in-training
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this educational activity, learners will be able to:
- Recognize hepatic, lobular, biliary and vascular patterns of liver injury, and use histological clues and clinical data to formulate a meaningful diagnosis

- Diagnose common post-transplant pathologies in allograft biopsies
- Recognize subtle histological findings in liver biopsies that appear to be near normal
