Splenomegaly caused by
Amyloidosis
Indications for examining bone marrow
Unexplained cytopenia
Maturation defects or morphologic abnormalities in blood cells

Condition
Splenic Hemangioma
Etiology of Strangles
Streptococcus equi subsp equi
Condition
Multiple “Spleens”
Autosomal recessive bone marrow disorder that disrupts the sequence of steps leading to the migration of leukocytes into sites of inflammation leading to bone marrow hyperplasia
Bovine Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency Syndrome - BLAD
Differential diagnosis for hyperplastic splenitis
Aleutian Disease
Equine Infectious Anemia
Differential diagnosis for splenic thrombosis/ infarction
Classicial Swine Fever (Hog Cholera)
Lymphosarcoma
Splenic nodules with a blood consistency can be
Hematomas
Incompletely contracted areas of spleen
Acute splenic infarcts
Vascular neoplasms
Bloody spleen can be generally caused by
Congestion
Acute Hyperemia
Acute Hemolytic Anemia
Disease in pigs that causes diffuse granulomatous lymphadenitis
Postweaning Multisystemic Wasting Disease
Morphological Diagnosis
Necrotizing splenitis
Malignant bone marrow neoplasm of histiocytic origin.
Histocytic Sarcoma
Disease in which carbon particles are retained in macrophages, medulla of lymph node appears black.
Anthracosis
________________________________
Common finding in animals living in polluted urban areas
Disease of the spleen that causes necrotizing splenitis characterized by white-grey milliary foci scarttered throughout the splenic parenchyma.
Tularemia - Rabbit Fever
Condition
Histiocytic Sarcoma
Hemal Nodes
Prominant in ruminants, small, dark red similar architecture
Bone Marrow Hypoplasia/ Atrophy may be the result of
Myelophthisis
Abnormality of hematopoietic cells
Etiology of Cytauxzoonosis
Cytauxzoon felis
Disease
Multiple Myeloma
Condition
Splenic hemangiosarcoma
Etiology
Histoplasma capsulatum
Disease that causes granulomatous lymphadenitis characterized by B and T lymphoid depletion and “botryoid” intracytoplasmic inclusions in macrophages.
Post Weaning Multisystemic Wasting Disease - PMWD
Etiology of granulomatous splenitis
Mycobacterium avium
Etiologic Agent and Disease
Francisella tularensis
Tularemia
Disease of the raptors characterized by acute multifocal milliary necrotizing hepatitis and splenitis.
Herpes Inclusio Body Disease - Hepatosplenitis
Splenic infarction in pigs is an indication of what disease
Classical Swine Fever - Hog Cholera
Disease caused by the organism in these tissue aspirates of the lymph node and spleen of a cat
Cytauxzoonosis
Dogs with benign splenic masses had a significantly (higher/lower) mean to splenic volume ration and (higher/lower) splenic weight as a percentage of body weight than did dogs with hemangiosarcoma.
Dogs with benign splenic masses had a significantly (higher/lower) mean to splenic volume ration and (higher/lower) splenic weight as a percentage of body weight than did dogs with hemangiosarcoma.
Lesion associated with this lymph node asipirate
Granulomatous Lymphadenitis
Splenomegaly due to diffuse enlargement can be due to
Congestion
Cell proliferation/ infiltration
Accumulation of extracellular material
Lesion
Granulomatous Lymphadenitis
Disease characterized by mandibular, pharyngeal, parotid lymph node abscesation and fistulization
Strangles
Morphological Diagnosis
Bone Marrow Hyperplasia
Disease of 3-6 week old chicks that causes lymphoid depletion by targeting pre-B lymphocytes
Infectious Bursal Disease (IBD)
Disease of the spleen characterized by grey-white to yellow, hard dry encrustations on the capsule, usually along the margins of teh spleen but can be elsewhere.
Siderofibrosis
Disease of equids characterized by abscesses anywhere in the body other than the pharyngeal area
Bastard Strangles
Condition
Splenic Hematoma
Lymph node abscess in a horse what is the etiology?
Streptococcus equi subsp equi
Pathogenesis of Bone Marrow Hyperplasia
Increased cell production in the marrow in response to poietins and interleukins → decreased cell numbers in blood caused by increased peripheral demand → adequate numbers of hypofunctional cells in peripheral blood
Etiology of Anthrax
Bacillus anthracis
Bone marrow necrosis may result in what clinical pathology finding?
Pancytopenia
Lesions associated with what disease of chickens?
Marek’s Disease
Abnormality
None - normal active bone marrow
Disease characterized by increased yellow marrow and is usually accompanied by marrow degeneration. Clinical pathology findings include anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia.
Bone Marrow Hypoplasia / Atrophy
Differential Diagnosis for hemosiderosis of the spleen
Decreased rate of erythropoiesis
Rapid destruction of RBC
Chronic heart failure
Iron dextran injection
Brownish discoloration observed in lymph nodes draining areas of hemorrhage
Hemosiderosis
Etiology of Caseous Lymphadenitis
Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis
Condition
Lymphoid Hyperplasia
