- Pathology Case Challenge
This program offers at least two challenging cases each month from the CAP Performance Improvement Program in Surgical Pathology. For each case, you will use a virtual microscope whole slide image of a surgical specimen to diagnose diseases.
You will be presented with information on each case including: specimen source, clinical history, laboratory findings, and a representative whole slide image of the surgical specimen. After you complete each case, you will receive a case summary with three multiple-choice questions that relate to the case.

Uterus
A 46-year-old woman presents with pelvic pain and abnormal vaginal bleeding. The patient undergoes an endometrial biopsy, which shows proliferative endometrium. She subsequently undergoes a total hysterectomy. On gross exam, the uterus is enlarged, weighing 606 gm. The cut surface shows a 10- cm, yellow myometrial mass permeating through the myometrium, which is cobblestoned in appearance with fibrotic bands. The lesion is diffusely positive for CD10, while negative for desmin. Fluorescence in situ hybridization testing reveals a JAZF1::SUZ12 translocation.
