No SLo DiSCo CoMas !!
About 1 cm in from the pleural surface, a discrete( you can see an abrupt change in tissue- well defiated) triangular shaped nodular mass
MDX: Severe, locally extensive, chronic, granulatamus pneumonia
Etx: Mycobacterium bovis —— tuberculosis
If you have a nodule, what are the two pathological processes that it can be due to?
- Inflammation
- Process of growth
Tuberculosis due to mycobacterium bovis
Mass in Mesentery from a horse
Mass differentials: neoplasm, abysess, granululoma, nodular hyperplasia
Inflammtory or disorder of growth– need to cut open to tell- pus in it, so
Mdx: messenteric abysess
Edx: steatitis(inflammation of fat)
Diffuse mucosal surface of the small intestine- fibrous material
Mdx: diffuse, acute, severe fibrinous enterisitis
Edx: Salmonella
What is this from
Salmonella– caste like in the small intestine
Liver is coated with fibrin, but it’s red tinted.
severe congestive heart failure– pressure has been so high, that it has caused fibrin to come out
Pluck from a cow- lungs, heart, trachea and esophagus all together
What’s wrong?
Fibrous connective tissue on the pleura, which connects the pericardium to the lungs. The surface of the heart is thickened.
pathological process: inflammation and repair
pericarditis, pneumonia(inflammation of the lung), chronic
EDx: hardware disease from the rumen/ reticulum
potential consequence: ascities in the abdomen/ edema, plerual cavity due to poor venous return to the heart, hypertrophy of the liver
due to hardware disease
opague yellow fluid in the abdomenal cavity- there are cells in the fluid;
strings on the pericardial surface; collasped lungs
MDx: supprulative, fibrious pleuritis or pyothorax
Edx: often in cats Ncardia or acinomycyes
Opened small intestine from a pig
Describe: muscoa is thickened, diffusely, cerebeform appearance, fibrin
What pathological process? hypertrophy- disorder of growth- something has been added
Edx: if it was a ruminant it could be Johne’s disease
on histo- leukocytes increased and neutrophils are present
proliterative enterisitis
Mdx: suppurative omphalophlevitis (infammation of the umbilical vein
suppurative pyonephritis
