Upon completion of this educational activity, learners will be able to:

Know the cytologic and histo-morphologic spectrum of cystic and solid lesions of the pancreas.

Understand new terminology, classification, and management guidelines for neoplastic mucinous cysts (IPMN, MCN) and non-mucinous intraductal lesions (IOPN, ITPN).

Become familiar with newly updated grading methods for neuroendocrine neoplasms; judiciously use immunohistochemistry to recognize and classify NENs (including classical, grade discordant, and ambiguous types)

Know the morphologic spectrum of neoplastic biliary lesions, including flat [biliary intraepithelial neoplasia (BiI-IN)] and tumoral intraductal papillary neoplasms (IPN-B) and adenocarcinoma and appropriately work up and diagnose carcinoma on limited samples.

Recognize the morphology of inflammatory changes in the biliary tract specimens.
