Visit the CAP Foundation Case of the Month

BY Dr. Keith J. Kaplan

The CAP Foundation and CAP Surgical Pathology Committee, in cooperation with Aperio, post a different digitized case each month from the CAP Performance Improvement Program in Surgical Pathology Program (PIP) archives. 

As part of the Foundation’s new technologies program, pathologists have an opportunity to navigate a digitized slide of a surgical specimen to diagnose diseases.  On the Foundation Web page, you select the appropriate diagnosis from a master list of diagnoses provided with each case. An on-line case critique of each case will be provided, including the diagnosis, comments, and references.  The cases being posted will represent a variety of neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions, including inflammatory and infectious diseases, and encompass essentially all organ sites.

Visit the Case of the Month today to explore this digital technology, assess your diagnostic skills, and compare your performance with that of your peers.
