About our site...

As part of the anatomic pathology training at the Johns Hopkins Hospital Department of Pathology, 6-8 unknown surgical pathology cases per week are given to residents. These cases often comprise both classic and unusual lesions seen in surgical pathology during the proceeding week. As the residents consider this one of the finest conferences in our department there has been considerable interest in providing it to practicing pathologists using the Internet.

The original idea of placing the "Surgical Pathology Unknown Conference" on the Internet was that of Mark Silberman, M.D. in 1996. The current web-site was conceived and developed under the direction of Joseph Kronz, M.D., Chief Resident, 1999-2000 and Jonathan Epstein, M.D.,Professor of Pathology, Oncology and Urology.

The staff responsible for instructional design, graphic design, software development and programming are Darlene Follin and Jennifer Parsons, M.A.

Cases for each weeks conference are compiled by the surgical pathology attendings (pictured in the top right hand corner of each page) and pathology residents who are named at the end of every case.

We hope that you enjoy this Web site and share it with colleagues.
