Description
This Virtual Biopsy Program (VBP) activity features five cases in which you will review whole slide images of surgical specimens to diagnose diseases. Each case includes clinical history, specimen source information, diagnostic findings and/or other ancillary testing data, and a three-question assessment.

Bonus Case Included!
An additional in vivo microscopy (IVM) technique case using reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is included in this activity only.This case includes the clinical history and associated IVM RCM images. Nongraded knowledge check questions will be provided along with annotated areas of the images that are diagnostic. Bonus case content completion is optional, and is not included in the assessment questions, and therefore does not offer any additional CME credits.

Objectives
After completing this activity, you should be able to:

  1. Examine whole slide biopsy images from a variety of sites and establish the diagnosis by integration of clinical information and morphologic findings.
  2. Select appropriate ancillary studies to confirm the diagnosis.
  3. Recognize the diagnostic challenges of various disease entities based on biopsies.
  4. Use the program as a benchmark for diagnostic performance and source of information for quality improvement.
