Via a series of case presentations, Sanjita Ravishankar and Philip Katzman will demonstrate how to implement new criteria for placental pathology reporting at the ASCP 2026 Annual Meeting. Here, they give a taste of what to expect.
The following transcript has been edited for clarity.
Sanjita Ravishankar: Hi, my name is Sanjita Ravishankar and I am a perinatal pediatric and gynecologic pathologist here in lovely Cleveland, Ohio. I'm very excited to invite you to join myself and Dr. Phil Katzman for our presentation on standardized placental pathology reporting at ASCP/CAP 2026 in Montréal, Canada.
It's going to be a really interesting session. We are going to go over live cases and demonstrate how to implement the new standardized placental pathology reporting template that was recently published by the Society for Pediatric Pathology. We designed this template for the general surgical pathologist. So we are hopeful that the session will help make it easier for you to sign up placentas in your practice. We hope to see you there.
Philip Katzman: Hi, my name is Phil Katzman. I'm a practicing pediatric and perinatal pathologist at the University of Rochester Medical Center in Rochester, New York. Thank you for your interest in our education course that I will be presenting with my colleague Dr. Sanjita Ravishankar from Cleveland, Ohio.
The course covers the Amsterdam criteria and the newly published template as created by the Society for Pediatric Pathology Placental Pathology Reporting Task Force. The course covers the Amsterdam criteria and the new template and how to use it using four case presentations.
I hope you can join us at the ASCP/CAP meeting in Montréal on November 18th.
Hope to see you.
