From March 31 to April 01, the Turkish Division of the International Academy of Pathology (IAP) in Izmir, Turkey, will hold a meeting on Hematopathology; a practical approach to the diagnosis of lymphoproliferative neoplasms with the current classification schemes using real cases.

The main objective of the meeting is to present the changes in the existing classifications and to help pathologists in their daily routine in differential diagnosis. Case examples will be used to discuss the differential diagnoses of the entities, the algorithm of diagnostic methods and the terminology of the current classifications.
