This online CME course covers vital topics of gynecologic tract pathology, reflecting both the most common and the most challenging lesions occurring in the female genital system. Lectures and microscopy sessions in Gynecologic Pathology are divided by anatomic location (vulva, cervix, uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes) and type of diagnosis (inflammatory, neoplastic, other).
After viewing this continuing medical education program, you will be better able to:
- Recognize the main inflammatory conditions of the vulva
- Apply universal testing to detect Lynch syndrome patients
- Recognize mesenchymal uterine tumors and the most useful diagnostic tests
- Distinguish between clear cell, endometrioid, and serous ovarian carcinomas
- Identify germ cell and sex cord stromal tumors of the ovary
- Navigate diagnostic challenges in placental pathology
- And more…
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this CME activity, the participant will be able to:

- Diagnose and apply histologic criteria for prognosis of endocervical carcinoma
- Recognize the histologic types of endometrial carcinoma
- Apply universal testing to detect Lynch syndrome patients
- Recognize the main mesenchymal tumors of the uterus and the most useful ancillary tests for diagnosis
- Diagnose precursor lesions of serous carcinogenesis in the fallopian tube
- Distinguish between clear cell, endometrioid and serous carcinomas of the ovary
- Be familiar with germ cell and sex cord stromal tumors of the ovary
- Navigate through the main diagnostic challenges in placental pathology
