Q

list the main examples of nodular granuloma

A

Mycobacterium bovis
Coccidiodes immitis - valley fever

25
Q

ID pathology

A

nodular granuloma

26
Q

describe the three distinctive morphologic areas of granulomas

A

innermost - macrophage, giant cells, some caseous necrosis
middle - macrophage, epithelioid macrophage, giant cells
outermost - lymphocytes, plasma cells, fibroblast with fibrous capsule

27
Q

describe presentation of diffuse granulomas grossly vs microscopically

A
28
Q

list the main examples of diffuse granuloma

A

johne’s disease - occurs in lamina propria if ileum/colon

29
Q

ID pathology

A

diffuse granuloma - johne’s disease
*bottom is normal ileum

30
Q

ID pathology

A

johne’s disease - based off presence of epithelioid macrophages

31
Q

define eosinophilic granuloma

A

dense infiltrates of eosinophils with macrophages and some lymphocytes and plasma cells

32
Q

list some examples of eosinophilic granuloma

A

oral eosinophilic granuloma - dog/cat
eosinophilic dermatitis - horse

33
Q

ID the pathology and describe its appearance

A

cat eosinophilic granuloma
oral nodule, ulcer

34
Q

ID pathology

A

eosinophilic granuloma

35
Q

ID the pathology and describe it

A

equine eosinophilic dermatitis
nodular granulomatous and ulcerated areas on skin

36
Q

ID pathology
what’s the arrow?

A

eosinophilic dermatitis
arrow - larvae

37
Q

define lymphocytic to lymphoplasmacytic inflammation

A

B cells conversion to plasma cells - secrete Ig’s to start phagocytosis

38
Q

list the main examples of lymphocytic to lymphoplasmacytic inflammation

A

IBD in dog/cat

39
Q

ID pathology

A

lymphocytic to lymphoplasmacytic inflammation
IBD

40
Q

ID the arrows

A
41
Q

define chronic-active inflammation

A

has active part, includes acute inflammation cells - neutrophils, fibrin, plasma proteins

*due to stimulus has NOT been removed from exudate, repeated episodes of inflammation over time

42
Q

list the main examples of chronic-active inflammation

A

feline infectious peritonitis (FIP)
pancreatitis

43
Q

how does feline infectious peritonitis occur?

A

meow meow coronavirus

44
Q

describe FIP gross vs histological appearance

A
45
Q

FIP pathogenesis

A

fecal-oral ingestion of coronavirus -> replication in enterocytes and peyers patch -> replication in macrophage and blood monocyte -> dissemination into organs -> immune response -> pyogranulomatous vasculitis

46
Q

ID pathology

A

FIP

47
Q

fill out the table regarding immune response to FIP

A
48
Q

what’s the main veterinary example of chronic inflammation becoming neoplastic?

A

feline injection site (fibro)sarcoma

49
Q

explain the possible mechanism of feline injection site (fibro)sarcoma

A

persistent injection site inflammation and genetic predisposition -> neoplastic transformation of fibroblasts
**aggressive

50
Q

ID pathology

A

fibrosarcoma

51
Q

list the stages of wound healing

A

hemostasis
acute inflammation
proliferation/granulation
remodeling

52
Q

what’s TGF-beta importance?

A

critical growth factor in wound healing

53
Q

describe primary vs second intention wound healing

A
54
Q

define granulation tissue

A

exposed CT that forms in a healing wound
red, hemorrhagic, bleeds easily when bumped

**can overgrow and inhibit healing

55
Q

what is it?

A

granulation tissue

56
Q

what is this?

A

granulation tissue - fibers grow parallel to wound surface

57
Q

describe colors of healthy vs poor granulation tissue

A
58
Q

pathogenesis of healing via fibrosis

A

necrosis of tissue -> dead tissue and acute inflammation exudate removed via macrophages -> space filled with fibrovascular/granulation tissue -> granulation tissue eventually replaced by immature fibrous CT -> healing wound forms scar
