23
Q

describe presentation of nodular granulomas grossly vs microscopically

A

grossly - nodular, gray to white, round, well demarcated

micro - round/oval with central core of granulomatous cells, central necrosis, and fibroblasts on outside

24
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 cellular 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

Gross - gray to white, poorly demarcated/delineated from adjacent tissues, firm, widespread distribution

micro- non-caseating aggregates of macrophages, few lymphocytes, and variable fibrosis

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

Lymphoplasmacytic enteritis

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 that 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

describe FIP gross vs histological appearance

A

Gross - multifocal, gray-tan, slightly raised foci along vascular structures and coat serosal surface with thick effusion

micro- pyrogranulomatous vasculitis

44
Q

FIP pathogenesis

A

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

Q

ID pathology

A

FIP

46
Q

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

A

feline injection site (fibro)sarcoma

47
Q

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

A

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

48
Q

fibrosarcoma

49
Q

list the stages of wound healing

A

hemostasis
acute inflammation
proliferation/granulation
remodeling

what’s TGF-beta importance?

A

critical growth factor in wound healing

stimulates healing factors to build

51
Q

describe primary vs second intention wound healing

A
52
Q

define granulation tissue

A

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

**can overgrow and inhibit healing

53
Q

what is it?

A

granulation tissue

54
Q

what is this?

A

granulation tissue - fibers grow parallel to wound surface

55
Q

describe colors of healthy vs poor granulation tissue

A

top - healthy
bottom - unhealthy

56
Q

pathogenesis of healing via fibrosis

A

necrosis of tissue > dead tissue and acute inflammatory exudate removed by macrophages and phagocytosis > spaced filled with fibrovascular tissues (granulation tissue) > granulation tissue replaced by immature fibrous CT that is poorly collagenized > healing wound forms a scar
