Gynecological pathology forms a large proportion of the diagnostic workload of most histopathology laboratories. There are frequent changes in diagnostic criteria, ancillary techniques, and staging systems, as well as descriptions of new entities that the diagnostic pathologist needs to keep up to date with, particularly in view of the ever increasing pressure from government, the public, and clinicians for accurate and timely diagnosis. This updating needs to be an individual and continuous exercise of professional development, through reading papers and attending conferences and courses as well as through self-study using published texts.
