Exam 2 Lab Material Flashcards
What are the indicated cells and from which cells are they derived from?
Epitheliod and Multinucleated cells
Derived from Monocytes and Macrophages
What types of stimuli or injury lead to granulomatous inflammatory reactions?
Persisting particulate material that resists lysosomal degradation as well as substances that stimulate T-cell hypersensitivity
What is the gross appearance of granulomatous inflammatory lesions in tissue?
Round, firm tan to off-white nodules of tissue within parenchyma
What type of advantage is conferred to the host tissue by a granulomatous response to an infectious agent or particulate agent?
Granulomatous inflammatory reaction in many infections can wall off the inciting bacteria, and cells of the granulomatous inflammatory exudate can more effectively kill intracellular bacteria than other types of inflammatory cells
What mechanism can explain the central caseation necrosis in granulomas, and is this sometimes a diagnostically useful feature?
Central necrosis may be due to toxic molecule release by macrophages (e.g., superoxide anion and lysosomal enzymes) and hypoxemia. The necrosis may undergo secondary dystrophic calcification in some species to result in radiodense lesions that are readily detectable in radiographs.
What is the possible stimulus for the granulation tissue to form?
Persistence of fibrin in the hematoma and failure of fibrinolysis to completely lyse the clot. Persistent of fibrin and release of chemotactic substances and growth factors from fibrin and platelets (e.g. fibrinopeptides, PDGF, TGF-beta) induces infiltration of macrophages, fibroblasts and release of other growth factors (e.g., VEGF, b-FGF, PDGF, TGF-beta) that promotes granulation tissue and angiogenesis.
What would have been the likely long-term outcome of the granulation tissue process had this mass not been removed surgically?
Cyst and clot would have been replaced by dense fibrous connective tissue. The fibrous connective tissue would have matured and contracted into an area of dense scar tissue.
Organization of granulation tissue occurs in what processes or types of lesions?
Chronic inflammatory processes where there is continued generation of necrotic exudate
Large areas of necrosis (e.g. infarct)
Areas of chronic ulceration where there is accumulation of necrotic exudate
What is the duration of this inflammatory process?
Chronic
What is the best modifier to describe the inflammatory exudate in the inflamed penis and urethra with Habronema L3 larval migrans
Granulomatous
Write an etiologic diagnosis for changes present in this sample.
Habronema
Pathogeneis of penis lesions
The three circular structures in the deep dermis and subcutis are most consistent with:
A) Migrating parasites
B) Plant material (e.g. wood foreign body)
C) Braided absorbable suture
D) Dilated ducts of glands with surrounding inflammation
C) Braided absorbable suture
How long have the circular sutures been in the tissue:
A) A few days
B) At least 2 weeks
B) At least 2 weeks
What would be a morphologic diagnosis for the pathologic changes in this tissue?
