25
what lies in medulla of thymus?
- thymic epithelial cells and Hassal's corpuscles - myoid cells - interdigitating/dendritic cells - lymphocytes
26
diseases associated with a small thymus***
- thymic hypoplasia (ie. CID) - maturation and aging (involution) - thymitis (ie. salmon poisoning in dogs) - thymic atrophy (lymphocyte apoptosis/necrosis) <--most common
27
Causes of thymic atrophy**
1) viral diseases: FeLV, FIV, canine distemper, equine herpesvirus 1, feline panleukopenia, parvo 2) steroids 3) nutritional deficiency (starvation, zinc def., protein def.) 4) toxins (lead, mercury, polychlorinated biphenyls)
28
diseases assoc. with large thymus***
1) thymic hemorrhage (young dogs) 2) lymphoma 3) thymoma
29
what does thymoma look like histologically?
large # lymphocytes
30
Q: all result in decreased thymus size EXCEPT: a) parvo b) lymphoma c) steroids d) canine distemper e) A and D
b) lymphoma
31
Q: uniformly enlarged dog spleen that bleeds on cut surface is most likely: a) hemangiosarcoma b) hemangioma c) lymphoma d) congestion e) nodular hyperplasia
d) congestion
32
Q: irregular dark red nodule in a spleen that bleeds on cut surface could be all EXCEPT: a) hemangiosarcoma b) hemangioma c) granulomatous splenitis d) hematoma e) nodular hyperplasia
C) granulomatous splenitis (will be DIFFERENT correct answer on exam!!)
33
lymphoproliferative disease
all neoplasms arising from lymphocytes
34
lymphoma
- malignant neoplasm of lymphocytes | - infiltrates and destroys lymphoid tissue and other tissues
35
leukemia def.
neoplasm of lymphocytes or hematopoietic cells arising from the bone marrow
36
2 patterns of lymphoma
diffuse or follicular
37
anatomic classifications of lymphoma
``` multicentric thymic alimentary cutaneous solitary ```
38
cytologic classification of lymphoma
well differentiated to lymphoblastic
39
most common form of lymphomas in dogs
B-cell lymphomas | -associated with gamma herpesvirus
40
most to least common distribution types of lymphoma in DOGS**
1) multicentric (generalized, liver, spleen, kidneys, heart, bone marrow, CNS) 2) alimentary (intestine, mesenteric LN, less commonly LIV/SP) 3) thymic (thymus, cranial mediastinum. Assoc. with hypercalcemia) 4) cutaneous 5) solitary or specialized (brain, lung, lymphomatoid granulomatosis)
41
hypercalcemia is assoc. with what distribution of lymphoma in dogs
thymic
42
lymphoid infiltrate to liver can -->
icterus
43
pale areas seen grossly on spleen can be
lymphoid infiltrates (sign of lymphoma)
44
most common neoplasm in cats**
lymphoma!
45
FeLV closely associated with what neoplasm in cats?
lymphoma. (>50% 5yrs old or less)
46
most to least common distribution of lymphoma in CATS**
1) alimentary (jejunum, ileum, mesenteric LN, liver, kidneys) 2) thymic (thymus, cranial mediastinal LN) 3) multicentric (generalized LN, liver/spleen, CNS) 4) solitary (kidneys)
47
which distributions of lymphoma in cats more associated with being FeLV positive?
Thymic | Multicentric
48
which distribution of lymphoma in cats often assocc. with pleural effusion and compressive atelectasis?
thymic
49
which distribution of lymphoma in cats assoc. with obstructive GI disease?
alimentary
50
pyogranulomatous dz in cats can result in enlargement of kidneys
:)
51
FIP --> pyogranulomatous vasculitis
:)
52
most common forms of lymphoma in cattle caused by:
Bovine Leukemia virus (BLV) | -30% have persistent lymphocytosis
53
most to least common distributions of lymphoma in CATTLE**
1) multicentric (LN, R atrium, abomasum, KID, uterus, spinal epidural fat, intestine, liver, spleen) 2) cutaneous 3) thymic (thymus, bone marrow) 4) calf form (general LN, bone marrow, blood, LIV, SP, +/-thymus, heart, kidneys, uterus) 5) alimentary form 6) solitary (spinal canal)
54
thymic form of lymphoma occurs in what age cattle
adolescents (6-30mo)
55
calf form of lymphoma occurs in what age cattle
<6mo
56
most to least common distributions of lymphoma in HORSES**
