Brain Tissue Pulmonary Embolism Due to Severe Blunt Force Head Trauma in a Dog
Publication date: February 2020Source: Journal of Comparative Pathology, Volume 175Author(s): R.L.A.L.T. Neto, M.D. ViesonSummaryA 9-week-old male puppy was submitted for necropsy examination after a reported history of developing acute melaena and vomiting blood before death. Grossly, the animal had multiple skull fractures, mostly affecting the occipital region and cranial floor, associated with extensive regions of subcutaneous, periosteal and subdural haemorrhages, as well as petechial haemorrhages within the right middle and caudal lung lobes. Histopathology of the brain revealed multifocal acute meningeal and parench...

Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumour in the Urinary Bladder of a Dog
Publication date: February 2020Source: Journal of Comparative Pathology, Volume 175Author(s): S.-W. Lee, S.-M. Baek, A.-R. Lee, T.-U. Kim, D. Kim, Y.-S. Kwon, S. Yun, S.-J. Park, I.-H. Hong, K.-S. Jeong, J.-K. ParkSummaryA 15-year-old neutered male miniature pinscher was presented with a pedunculated mass (4 × 1 cm) in its urinary bladder. Exploratory cystotomy revealed that the mass was located at the trigone of the bladder and projected into the lumen. The cut surface of the mass was homogeneous grey to tan in colour with focal brown pigmentation. Microscopically, the mass was predominantly composed of neoplastic spi...

Body Wall Defects: Gastroschisis and Omphalocoele in Pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus)
Publication date: February 2020Source: Journal of Comparative Pathology, Volume 175Author(s): N. Martín-Alguacil, L. AvedilloSummaryBody wall defects (BWDs) are not well studied and categorized in veterinary medicine. BWDs can be an isolated occurrence, but often occur with other major developmental abnormalities. Thirty-two body wall malformations of domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus) are presented and classified, distinguishing between body wall dysplasia (umbilical hernia, abdominal wall distension and gastroschisis), omphalocoele and thoracoabdominoschisis (Cantrell syndrome, shistosomus reflexus, body stalk anomal...

Intra- and Extra-articular Features of Temporomandibular Joint Ankylosis in the Cat (Felis catus)
This study sought to characterize the intra- and extra-articular features of naturally occurring TMJ ankylosis in cats. TMJs from client-owned cats (n = 5) that underwent bilateral TMJ gap arthroplasty were examined and compared with TMJs from healthy, age-matched feline cadavers (n = 2) by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), micro-computed tomography (μCT) and histologically. Features of bilateral intra- and extra-articular ankylosis compounded by degenerative joint lesions were identified radiographically and histologically in all affected cats. Features of TMJ ‘true’ ankylosis included variable intracapsular ...

The Role of Antimicrobial Neutrophil Extract in Modification of the Inflammatory Response During Osteochondral Autograft and Allograft Transplantation in Rabbits
Publication date: February 2020Source: Journal of Comparative Pathology, Volume 175Author(s): J. Wessely-Szponder, J. Michalska, T. Szponder, B. Żylińska, M. Tarczyńska, M. SzubstarskiSummaryOsteochondral autograft or allograft transplantation is one of the surgical options for the management of large cartilage defects; however, the mechanisms of cartilage healing after this procedure, especially the immunological mechanisms, are not fully understood. The present study examined whether a grafting procedure changed the in-vitro responses of neutrophils and monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs). Additionally, antimicrobial ...

Low Stromal Mast Cell Density in Canine Mammary Gland Tumours Predicts a Poor Prognosis
Publication date: February 2020Source: Journal of Comparative Pathology, Volume 175Author(s): H. Ariyarathna, N. Thomson, D. Aberdein, J.S. MundaySummaryTumour histological classification and grade are frequently used to predict the prognosis of canine mammary gland tumours. While these techniques provide some information about tumour behaviour, it is currently difficult to predict which tumours will metastasize. Mast cell density has been shown to predict metastasis in human breast cancer. The present study investigated whether the average mast cell density in 10 high-power (×400) microscopical fields (10 HPFs), evaluate...
