Have you ever sent slides away and received a “non-diagnostic” report? Or thought you saw round cells everywhere but the mass turned out to be an epithelial tumour? Or worried over the criteria of malignancy in a weird cell population o nly to find out they were just macrophages? These diagnostic pitfalls are enough to put anyone off cytology and are o ne reason why skin cytology is so underutilised in private practice. By using a practical step-bystep approach, skin cytology can prove to be accurate, info rmative, and useful in terms of diagnostic work-ups and therapeutic planning. Please join us for this webinar where Dr Kelly will discuss how to approach skin cytology, common conditions that are readily diagnosed o n cytology and diagnostic pitfalls to avoid.
