Liver Pathology 2016: New Perspectives on Old Themes
Sunday, March 13, 2016
8:30 AM 12:00 PM
CC Ballroom 6E
Moderators: M. Isabel Fiel, MD, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY
Course Description:
The topics were chosen in order to update the audience of issues pertinent to both the practicing general pathologist and liver pathology subspecialists alike. The presentations will cover drug-induced liver injury and the histological features that a pathologist needs to be aware of when confronted with a liver biopsy, the newly-described entity, atypical hepatocellular lesions, and how these are managed, as well as an update on metabolic liver diseases with a focus on how these diseases present in adults. Additional lectures will cover recent developments in primary biliary cholangitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis, a presentation on the overlap syndromes of primary biliary cirrhosis and autoimmune hepatitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis and autoimmune hepatitis, with the final presentation being on pre-neoplastic lesions of the biliary tree and what is recently known.
Upon completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:
- Update the attendees on what the pathologist needs to know regarding drug-induced liver injury (DILI), and to summarize the role of the pathologist in diagnosing and helping manage a patient with DILI.
- Discuss the histological features of atypical hepatocellular lesions and the approach to their diagnosis and management.
- Review the different metabolic liver diseases that may present in adults with emphasis on the lesser known entities.
- Update the audience on what is new on primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).
- Discuss what is known about overlap syndromes of PBC and autoimmune hepatitis as well as PSC and autoimmune hepatitis.
- Update the audience on novel findings of pre-neoplastic lesions in the biliary tree.
