Continuing in the tradition of pediatric pathology conferences in the Aspen area since 1970, the 2023 lecture-based conference is designed for general and pediatric pathologists and will be of interest to pediatric surgeons and pediatricians who would like to advance their knowledge in various pediatric neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases. Handouts and PowerPoint presentations, including case discussions, will be available on the University of Chicago website. In advance, each participant will receive a microscopic slide set of 25 cases with clinical histories. The cases will be discussed in detail during the conference. A microscope will be available to review interesting cases with faculty that participants bring to the conference. In addition, an academic poster session on current topics in pediatric pathology will be presented.

Target Audience

This activity is designed for practicing pathologists, fellows in pediatric pathology, senior pathology residents, and other health professionals interested in pediatric neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases.

After this activity, participants will be able to:

  • Produce a diagnostic approach for the examination of neoplastic and non-neoplastic childhood diseases;
  • Describe the role of molecular genetics in the diagnosis of neoplastic and non-neoplastic pediatric diseases;
  • Recognize the gross and histologic appearance of various neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases of major organ systems including CNS, hematopoietic system, soft tissue, GI tract, liver, kidney, lung, heart, head & neck, and skin;
