Dr. Kristina Perschbacher & Dr. Susanne Perschbacher
Session Date: Friday October 24, 2025
Session Time: 8:30 AM – 12 PM
Presenter Name: Dr. Kristina Perschbacher & Dr. Susanne Perschbacher
Outline:
Are you due for a booster? This lecture is a case-based refresher of clinically-relevant pathology that is not encountered by clinicians on a daily basis and therefore may pose a diagnostic challenge. The key features that help identify the interpretation or diagnosis of an abnormality are presented. Classic and atypical cases will be contrasted and “red-flag” features will be highlighted. Boost your recognition and understanding of oral squamous cell carcinoma associated precursor lesions. Management will be discussed where appropriate.
Objectives
- analyze key features for diagnosis of soft tissue and radiologic lesions
- compare common presentations and variants
- recognize features suggestive of aggressive disease
- identify lesions at risk for transformation to squamous cell carcinoma
