The student must demonstrate an understanding of the etiopathogenetic mechanisms, the development of diseases (etiology) and how they alter normal physiological functions (pathogenesis). This includes learning the cellular, molecular and systemic processes involved.

The student must know structures and functions of the different cell types and kinds of tissues of the human body, and must know the biochemistry of the main biological macromolecules.

Module:
The student must demonstrate knowledge of the principles of pathology and of the intrinsic link between structural and functional alterations (pathology) and the consequent modifications of normal physiological processes (pathophysiology).


Module:

Role of pathologist; sample management (from processing to staining in cytology and histology)
Diseases of the female genital system: anatomy and histology of the organ; dimension of the problem in each area and histological aspects of the disease processes
Pathology of the uterine cervix (from pap smear to histology; CIN-LSIL-HSIL, carcinoma)
Pathology of the uterine body (endometriosis, adenomyosis, glandular hyperplasia, endometrial carcinoma, leiomyoma, leiomyosarcoma)
Benign ovarian pathology (folliculogenesis, benign cysts, ovarian tumors: of the epithelium, of the sexual cords and stroma, of the germinative epithelium, metastatic neoplasms)
