Pancreatic Masses in a Patient with Li Fraumeni Syndrome
Case Studies provide an interactive distance-learning experience to interesting cases in the field of cytopathology. Each Case includes objectives, images, a clinical history, along with a multiple-choice diagnosis followed by discussion, review images and references.
Target Audience
This educational activity is designed for pathologists, fellows/residents, cytotechnologists, and other members of the cytopathology community.
Learning Objectives
- Recognize the cytologic features of leiomyosarcoma
- Utilize histomorphology, immunohistochemistry, and molecular testing to distinguish spindle cell lesions of the pancreas
- Understand the differential diagnosis of metastatic disease involving the pancreas
