result of injury and secondary infection OR extension from endometrium

151

nabothian cysts of the vagina

152

T/F: bartholin’s glands in the vagina are anatomical analogs of bulbourethral glands (cowper’s glands) in males

A

TRUE

153
Q

what is a common cause of vulva hyperplasia?

A

consumption of moldy corn! corn is contaminated with fungus fusarium that produces zearalenone (toxin) > mimics estrogen leading to hyperplasia (cattle and pigs)

154
Q
A

granular vulvitis (development and hyperplasia of subepithelial lymphoid follicles of vulva and vestibule > raised white nodules on vulval mucosa)

155
Q

what bacteria causes granular vulvitis?

A

ureaplasma diversum

156
Q
A

infectious pustular vulvovaginitis (necrosis and ulceration of mucosa of vestibule) caused by BHV 1

157
Q
A

coital exanthema, ulcerative vulvitis in mare (heals w/ depigmented regions) caused by EHV 3

158
Q
A

polyp

159
Q
A

squamous cell carcinoma

160
Q
A

transmissible venereal tumor

161
Q

inflammation of the mammary gland usually due to infectious agents (mainly bacteria, some fungi) that gain access through the teat canal

A

mastitis (clinical and subclinical)

162
Q

when is peak occurence of mastitis?

A

shortly after calving and in the dry period

163
Q
A

severe necrotic mastitis, coliform mastitis

164
Q
A

suppurative mastitis (lactiferous sinus and ducts filled with viscous yellow pus) =bacterial infection

165
Q
A

chronic mastitis and galactophoritis (chronic inflammation of the lactiferous ducts and adjacent mammary glands > replacement of gland w/ pyogranulomas and abscesses w/ yellow pus)

166
Q

what bacteria causes chronic mastitis and galactophoritis?

A

nocardia spp.

167
Q

Streptococcus agalactia, staphylococcus aureus and mycoplasma spp cause what kind of mastitis?

A

contagious

168
Q

what bacteria can elaborate an a-toxin that causes vasoconstriction and ischemia to the udder resulting in gangrenous mastitis

A

staphylococcus aureus

169
Q

this ubiquitous bacteria infects through the teat canal and may cause an acute and often fatal disease due to its endotoxin that causes vascular damange leading to fluid exudates, hemorrhage, thrombosis and necrosis (“environmental mastitis”)

A

E. coli

170
Q

environmental mastitis caused by e coli is most severe in what animals?

A

newly calved cows transiently immunosuppressed

171
Q
A

severe coliform mastitis

172
Q

granulomatous mastitis can be caused by what bacteria?

A
  • mycobacterium sp.
  • nocardia sp.
  • candida spp.
173
Q

T/F: viral diseases, ovine progressive pneumonia, and CAE are other causes of mastitis that cause diffuse interstitial mastitis that is not grossly recognizable

A

TRUE

174
Q

T/F: mammary tumors are more commonly seen in dogs and are rare in other species

A

FALSE, dogs AND cats

175
Q
A

mammary masses

176
Q

what is one of the most commonly diagnosed tumor in female dogs?

A

mammary neoplasias, epithelial tumors = most commonly diagnosed

177
Q

T/F: simple adenomas have a mixed proliferation of secretory epithelial cells and myoepithelial cells while complex adenomas have a proliferation of well-differentiated luminal epithelial cells

A

FALSE, opposite

178
Q

mixture of epithelial and stromal cells…this is describing what kind of benign mammary tumor?

A

fibroadenoma

179
Q

proliferation of glandular and mesenchymal elements…this is describing what kind of benign mammary tumor?

A

benign mixed tumor

180
Q

papillomatous projections in distended ducts…this is describing what kind of benign mammary tumor?

A

duct papilloma

181
Q

T/F: mammary gland is the most common site of extraskeletal soft tissue osteosarcoma in dogs

A

TRUE

182
Q

at what estrus cycle do you want to perform a ovariohysterectomy on a dog to decrease the chance of mammary neoplasm development?

A

by the 4th estrus cycle

183
Q

what is the third most common neoplasm in domestic cats?

A

mammary neoplasias, tumor size = single most important prognostic factor in cats

184
Q
A

mammary fibroadenomatous hyperplasia (benign, nonneoplastic proliferation of mammary ducts and CT of young intact cats, pregnant cats, or older neutered male and female cats on prolonged progesterone therapy)

185
Q
A

mammary fibroadenoma

186
Q
A
187
Q
A

mammary fibroadenomatous hyperplasia (lobules of branching ductal structures lined by epithelial cells surrounding edematous myoepithelial stroma)
