Upon completion of this activity, you will be able to:

describe the histopathologic criteria that help distinguish bronchioloalveolar carcinoma from benign reactive atypia on lung frozen sections.
review a model of evidence-based pathology for differential diagnosis of lung lesions at frozen section.
apply the comparative utility of posttest odds and likelihood ratios in assessing morphologic features used in differential diagnosis.
