Call for Mystery Slides
This year, the Scientific Committee is once again excited to bring you an interactive “Mystery Slide session”. Each case will be presented and openly discussed with colleagues in a fast-paced, engaging 10-minute format. We are actively seeking cytological and histological cases, with a particular preference for cases that offer an integrated diagnostic perspective bridging both anatomic pathology and clinical pathology, as these are especially valuable for discussion and learning. That said, compelling cases from either field alone are equally welcome!
Do you have a case that fits one or more of the following?
- A diagnostic challenge that kept you guessing
- A cold case waiting to be solved
- A "once-in-a-lifetime" case too remarkable not to share
- An "I have seen things you wouldn't believe" case that left you speechless
If so, we would love to hear from you! Please submit your case to sc@esvp-ecvp-congress.eu
by May 31, 2026.
For submission, please put together a single PDF document containing:
- A case summary (max. 250 words), including the title, your name, institution, and contact details (e-mail address mandatory)
- Signalment and a brief clinical history
- A summary of representative gross and microscopic findings
- Any relevant additional supporting data
- Up to five high-quality images representative of the lesion (histology and/or gross images, special stains, immunohistochemistry, and any other relevant techniques such as clonality testing, electron microscopy, etc.)
And because we want to make this session as interactive as possible with a live voting system, please be prepared to scan or send your slides for scanning by July 31 (details will follow) and to provide a multiple-choice question with differential diagnoses for each case.
To make this session as interactive as possible, we will be using a live voting system! We therefore kindly ask you to be prepared to scan your slides - or send them for scanning - by July 31 (details to follow), and to provide a multiple-choice question with differential diagnoses for each submitted case.
We can't wait to see your cases — bring us your best mysteries!
