Macroscopy in Anatomic Pathology
Description
Macroscopical examination and sampling lie at the very basis of diagnostic activity in Pathology. During training, Pathology Residents must learn how to handle simple and complex tissue biopsies and surgical specimens, how to describe the lesions they contain and how to identify and sample them to allow for accurate and safe diagnosis. In this workshop, the basic techniques of Macroscopy will be explained and demonstrated using real surgical specimens. Then, participants will be able to explore in practice their own skills for slicing and sampling tissue specimens for histopathological analysis.
