Session

Description: Challenging Case Studies are presented by trainees or technologists. They will discuss the case's clinical history, molecular analysis, interesting features, and the proposed diagnosis. Other molecular testing methods, if applicable, will be included in the presentation, including biopsies, gross/microscopic pathology, immunohistochemistry/flow cytometry, and cytogenetic findings.

Session

Objectives:
- Describe the context of a challenging clinical case.
