this are usually characterized by the presence of leukemia

A

myeloproliferative neoplasm

35
Q

infiltration of neoplastic cells into other tissue can occur w/ enlargement of the?

A

liver & spleen

36
Q

inflammation of lymph nodes, this is common in most septicemic disease condition,

A

Lymphadenitis

37
Q

the lesion that account for the swelling in lymhadenitis is a combination of?

A

serous exudate + proliferation of lymhoid + reticular tissue

38
Q

if the agent involved in lymphadenitis is a pyogenic bacteria, the exudate will be?

A

purulent & sinuses will contain numerous neutrophils

39
Q

in nodes draining areas of inflammation, this include follicular hyperplasia, paracortical & medullary cord are often packed w/ plasma cells

A

lymphoid hyperplasia

40
Q

the most common being lymphosarcoma reduction in the size of lymph nodes

41
Q

3 conditions that causes a reduction in the size of the lymph nodes

A
  1. senile atrophy
  2. immunodeficiency disease
  3. lymphoid exhaustion
42
Q

this is part of aging process

A

senile atrophy

43
Q

common findings of this _____ includes lack of germinal centers & paracortical T-cells even absence of lymph nodes

A

immunodeficiency disease

44
Q

this reduction in size of lymph nodes has following chronic infection w/ destruction of lymphoid tissue. It’s characterized by hypocellularity of the cortex & medulla

A

lymphoid exhaustion

45
Q

this constitutes the single largest component of the reticuloendothelial system

46
Q

spleen performs numerous function including:

A
  1. hematopoiesis
  2. iron metabolism
  3. infiltration
  4. removal of intracytoplasmic inclusions
  5. serves as very large reservoir of blood
  6. carries various immunologic functions
47
Q

both refer to a localized enlargement of the spleen

A

localized splenomegaly or splenic mass

48
Q

splenic mass are either:

A
  1. neoplastic
  2. non-neoplastic
49
Q

this is due to splenitis & enlargement is due to an increase in the number of lymphocytes, reticuloendothelial cells, neutrophillic granulocytes & erythrocytes

inflammatpry & infectious splenomegaly

50
Q

what are the changes that accompany splenitis ?

A
  1. lymphoretocular hyperplasia

granulomatous splenitis

57
Q

granulomatous splenitis occur in>

A

systemic mycosis & some bacterial infections

58
Q

the enlargement is due to hyperlasia of the reticuloendothelial & lymphoid components; this condition is associated w/ hemolytic disorder including hemolytic anemia & drug induced hemolysis

A

hyperplastic splenomegaly

59
Q

the spleen has great capacity to store blood between how many percent if the total blood volume?

60
Q

what are the conditions that cause splenomegaly?

A
  1. Tranquilizers & anesthetics
  2. portal hyertension
61
Q

barbiturates & increase blood pooling by relaxing the smooth muscle of the splenic capsule resulting to the pooling of blood

A

tranquilizers & anesthetics

62
Q

this is the result of right sided congestive heart failure, obstruction of caudal venacava by neoplasia or worms

A

portal heypertension

63
Q

the enlargement is due to infiltration of the spleen w/ neoplastic cells, splenic extramedullary hematopoiesis & amyloid

A

infiltrative splenomegaly

64
Q

spleen that is affected in __________ & in which the amyloid is deposited in the Malpighian corpuscles which appear in cross section as gray translucent bodies resembling grains of sago

A

amyloid degeneration

65
Q

this is congenital & acquired defect of the diaphragm result to displacement of the spleen. However, no vascular engorgement occur that differentiate this condition to splenic torsion.

66
Q

these are nodules or masses of splenic tissue seeded in the omentumj which may be due to congenital defects or following trauma. It’s an indicator of previous soft tissue injury

A

Accessory spleen

67
Q

common in small animals & result from trauma, may result to death due to massive hemorrhage,

A

rupture of spleen

68
Q

if the rupture of spleen may heals, extra-splenic tissue may be found scattered in the ?

A

mesenteries & omentum

69
Q

is a part of senile change, may observe in animals which dies in hemorrhage.

70
Q

in atrophy what is the texture of spleen?

A

dry & may have fibrous texture

71
Q

what are the 2 pigments that may accumulate as subscapular yellow pigmented calcareous bodies (plaques/Gamma-Gandy bodies) no pathologic significance except in an indication of previous hemorrhage

A
  1. Hemosiderin
  2. Calcium
72
