Hematopoietic neoplasms with unusual presentations and findings: avoiding the pitfalls with hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic neoplasms; “what not to miss”
Saturday, July 9, 1300-1630
Speakers:
Catherine A. Ross, Juravinski Cancer Centre and Hospital, McMaster University
Monalisa Sur, Juravinski Cancer Centre and Hospital, McMaster University

Objectives:
At the end of the session, the participants will be able to:
1. To present unusual presentations of hematopoietic neoplasms in order for the attendees to gain an awareness of these presentation to avoid these diagnostic pitfalls in their practice.
2. To highlight uncommonly encountered hematopoietic neoplasms for educational purposes.
3. To gain appreciation of the diagnostic features.
4. To present areas of morphologic overlap where non-hematopoietic and hematopoietic lesions may be confused and show overlapping features, for attendees to recognize and be able to accurately diagnose these neoplasms.
5. To demonstrate the utility of ancillary studies such as flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, and molecular studies in arriving at correct diagnosis.
6. To provide a clinical context for these cases, to underscore the importance of accurate, timely diagnosis in these patients.
