ASGE Recognized Industry Associate (ARIA) Training Program for Sanofi | June 2022-Pathologist's Perspective of EoE

Pdf Summary

This document is a training curriculum for a presentation on eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) from a pathologist's perspective. The curriculum is confidential and intended for internal use only. The objectives of the presentation include outlining the differential diagnoses of intraepithelial eosinophilia, characterizing the histologic criteria of EoE, and discussing clinical findings that help in distinguishing and diagnosing EoE. The presentation emphasizes the role of pathologists in diagnosing EoE through microscopic examination of esophageal tissue samples stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin. Normal esophageal histology and the microscopic features of EoE and reflux esophagitis are described, including criteria such as eosinophil density, basal cell hyperplasia, and other histologic markers. The document also mentions the importance of correlating histologic findings with clinical history, endoscopic findings, and prior samples or pathology reports. Additional information includes the epidemiology, risk factors, and etiology of EoE, as well as diagnostic tips and pearls for pathologists. The document concludes with a thank-you note and an invitation for questions.
