In this GPALM educational lecture, Kamran Mirza, MD, PhD, presents a practical approach to the diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), highlighting the integration of morphologic evaluation with contemporary molecular and genetic findings.

The session reviews key features encountered in the diagnostic workup of MDS, including bone marrow morphology, cytogenetic abnormalities, and molecular alterations. Dr. Mirza discusses how these findings can be integrated to improve diagnostic accuracy, classification, and clinical interpretation of myeloid neoplasms.

This lecture is part of the Global Pathology and Laboratory Medicine (GPALM) Lecture Series, dedicated to expanding access to high-quality pathology education and fostering global collaboration among trainees and practicing pathologists.

Topics include:

Diagnostic approach to myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)
Bone marrow morphology and dysplasia
Cytogenetic and molecular findings
Integration of morphology and molecular pathology
Classification and diagnostic considerations
Practical approaches to challenging MDS cases
