A practical approach to recognizing and reporting clinically relevant alterations of the placenta in a general pathologist practice setting is the main focus of this course, with an additional focus on gestational trophoblastic disease. The course is organized using the 2014 Amsterdam Placental Workshop Group classifications (e.g. maternal vascular lesions, fetal vascular lesions, inflammatory lesions). We will emphasize pattern-based morphology of placental disease; correlation with clinical history and gross pathology; and creation of clinically-relevant pathology reports. The cases presented will include common alterations of clinical significance as well as newer topics including COVID-related pathology and the new FIGO grading system for placenta accreta spectrum. The gestational trophoblastic cases will highlight strategies for recognizing products of conceptions with features suspicious for molar pregnancy and the selection and interpretation of relevant confirmatory diagnostic tests. The target audience is general pathologists and trainees.
