Welcome
Thank you for visiting the Hans Popper Hepatopathology Society (HPHS) website. The goals of our society are to disseminate and to increase knowledge about the normal and diseased liver and biliary tree, with special emphasis on pathology, and to encourage the development of hepatopathology as a subspecialty. To foster our educational mission, the HPHS organizes a Companion Society presentation focused on hepatopathology at the annual meeting of the United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology. Last year’s meeting on “Easily Missed Diagnoses” in liver pathology was an interesting and timely update on the pathology of vascular lesions in the liver, patterns of injury in acute and chronic hepatitis, pathology of cholestasis, and molecular classification of hepatic adenomas. The handouts for this symposium may be found on the USCAP website at
http://www.uscap.org. The topics for next year’s Companion Society Meeting, which will be held on March 21, 2010, at Marriott Wardman Park in Washington, DC, include updates on autoimmune hepatitis and overlap syndromes, hepatic iron storage disorders, molecular alterations in hepatocellular tumors, and liver pathology of diabetes mellitus and fatty liver disease.
I would like to thank all the members for their support for the society, and to remind you that annual dues letters will be coming out in the next few weeks. Your dues are a vital source of support for our society for our educational programs and our annual prize for best USCAP abstract presented by a pathologist in training. I would also like to invite you to participate in HPHS by joining one of our three committees, the Membership, Education, and Newletter/Publications Committees.
Thank you for your continuing support of the Hans Popper Hepatopathology Society, and I look forward to hearing from you and working with you over the coming year.
