Interesting Cases in the Lung and Mediastinum: Things are Often Not as They Seem

Course overview

As cytologists working with interventional pulmonologists, it is important to be prepared for the unexpected! On-site adequacy assessment provides an opportunity to both ensure a diagnostic sample and to triage specimens in real time. Additionally, the use of ancillary testing is invaluable in arriving at an accurate final diagnosis. Triage and use of ancillary studies combined with morphologic diagnosis allows patients to derive maximal benefit from the samples collected. In this webinar, we will review interesting cases from the lung and mediastinum where there are interesting twists and pitfalls to overcome. We will highlight what can be done to increase our chances of getting it right! Jennifer Brainard, MD Vice Chair of Pathology Operations Cleveland Clinic Foundation Cleveland, Ohio
