Euthanized. • The pulmonary parenchyma is diffusely mottled red and dark red. Throughout the parenchyma of all lung lobes are abundant multifocal to coalescing, dark red to purple, slightly raised, soft nodules ranging from pinpoint to 1x1x1 cm. • The dark red, soft appearance of the nodules and presence of similar nodules in other organs (not pictured) raises suspicion of HSA, but this cannot be definitively diagnosed without histopathology (confirmed in this case) Photo by Janice Park. | 05/23/2023 | |||||||
123,666 | 64,771 | F64771 | Schreeg | The Ohio State University | CANINE | HEPATOBILIARY SYSTEM | LIVER | NEOPLASIA, NEOPLASM, TUMOR | 32 | Liver: Focal hepatocellular carcinoma; multifocal hepatocellular nodules (metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma vs. nodular hyperplasia vs. adenomas) | 1 | 1 | Hepatocellular carcinoma; hepatocellular adenoma; hepatocellular nodular hyperplasia | • 13-year-old, male castrated, mixed breed dog with coughing, weakness, decreased appetite. Euthanized. • The liver is diffusely light brown and has rounded margins. Multifocally throughout the hepatic parenchyma and occasionally extending to the capsular surface are numerous poorly demarcated, tan, soft to firm nodules ranging from pinpoint to 3.0×1.5×2.5 cm in size. The nodules in this liver demonstrate classic examples of hepatocellular nodules for which hepatocellular carcinoma, adenoma, or nodular hyperplasia should all be considered for differentials. In this case the largest nodule was histologically consistent with a hepatocellular carcinoma. This dog also had concurrent hemangiosarcoma and thyroid carcinoma in other tissues of the body (not pictured). Photo by Janice Park | 05/23/2023 | |||||||

Neurological exam pointed to right forebrain lesion. Euthanized. • Extending from the right telencephalon through the rostral right brainstem is a soft to gelatinous, pink to gray mass causing mass effect and deviation medially, across midline. The soft and gelatinous appearance of the mass is suggestive and supportive of an oligodendroglioma (confirmed upon histopathology). Photo by Janice Park. | 05/23/2023 | |||||||

Radiographs revealed multifocal pulmonary nodules and mid-abdominal mass. Euthanized. • Multifocally throughout the hepatic parenchyma and within the renal cortices and superficial medullae bilaterally are numerous multifocal to coalescing, dark red, well-demarcated, moderately firm, slightly raised, variably sized nodules. Within the omentum is a 4x4x4 cm, moderately firm to soft, dark red mass. Photo by Janice Park. | 05/23/2023 | |||||||
123,670 | 64,775 | F64775 | Schreeg | The Ohio State University | CANINE | HEMATOPOIETIC | SPLEEN | HYPERPLASIA | 32 | Spleen: Focally extensive vascular hamartoma | 1 | 1 | Hamartoma; splenic nodule | • 8-year-old, intact male, mixed breed dog with acute lethargy, respiratory distress, pallor, and clinically diagnosed with hypovolemic shock. Euthanized. • Arising from and locally expanding the splenic parenchyma is a single large, soft, raised, dark red mass measuring 10.5×11.4×3.8 cm. Differentials for this splenic mass could include hemangiosarcoma, hematoma, nodular hyperplasia, or less likely benign vascular proliferations (e.g. hemangioma, vascular hamartoma). In our experience the latter diagnoses are uncommon. In this case, the histology was most supportive of a vascular hamartoma. Regardless of the benign nature of the mass, in this case there was rupture of the mass resulting in hemoabdomen, demonstrating that even benign splenic nodules can result in morbidity and mortality.

123,671 | 64,776 | F64776 | Schreeg | The Ohio State University | CANINE | HEMATOPOIETIC | SPLEEN | NEOPLASIA, NEOPLASM, TUMOR | 32 | Spleen: Diffuse splenomegaly with multifocal splenic nodules (histologically confirmed as lymphoma); multifocal to coalescing siderotic plaques | 1 | 1 | Lymphoma; splenic lymphoma; siderotic plaques; Gandy-Gamma nodules | • 10-year-old, female spayed Greyhound with history of osteoblastic osteosarcoma. CT revealed splenomegaly with multifocal nodules, peritoneal effusion, gas bubbles, and segmental jejunal changes. Euthanized. • The spleen is subjectively enlarged and irregular. Multifocally throughout the spleen are numerous firm, variably sized, dark pink to tan, slightly raised nodules arising from the splenic parenchyma and raising the capsular surface. Throughout the capsular surface of the spleen are abundant multifocal to coalescing, tan, flat, smooth, pinpoint to 3×3 mm foci (siderotic plaques). • Final diagnosis was T-cell lymphoma (CD3+, CD20-) in the spleen (as well as small intestines). This image shows malignant neoplasia manifesting as a combination of diffuse splenomegaly and ill-defined nodules that is suggestive of a round cell neoplasm, and in this case was confirmed to represent lymphoma. In addition, numerous siderotic plaques, a benign lesion, are highlighted in this image. Photo by Janice Park. | 05/23/2023 | |||||||
123,672 | 64,777 | F64777 | Schreeg | The Ohio State University | EQUINE | URINARY | OMENTUM | NEOPLASIA, NEOPLASM, TUMOR | 32 | Omentum, Diaphragm, Spleen, Liver, Lumbosacral Vertebrae: Metastatic squamous cell carcinoma/carcinomatosis | 1 | 1 | Squamous cell carcinoma; metastatic neoplasia; metastatic carcinoma; carcinomatosis | • 15-year-old draft horse cross mare with history of reported urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder. Euthanized. • Multifocally throughout the diaphragm, omentum, and superficial parenchyma and capsular surfaces of the liver and spleen are numerous multifocal, umbilicated, multilobulated, pale tan to white, firm to friable masses ranging from 5x5x5 mm to approximately 7x6x6 cm. Upon sagittal sections, the medullary cavities of the lumbosacral vertebrae are subjectively mottled red and tan, with 75% of the medullary cavity being tan. Not pictured: In this case, the peritoneal cavity contained approximately 5 L of red to orange-tinged, semi-opaque watery, fluid (peritoneal effusion). The urinary bladder wall was diffusely moderately thickened, and is focally expanded by a 12x9x7 cm, multilobulated, transmural, pale tan to white, firm to friable, mass. The mucosal aspect of the mass was coated in a moderate amount of tan to pink, opaque, turbid material. The horse had been presumptively diagnosed antemortem with urothelial carcinoma; however, histologic evaluation of the neoplasms was consistent with squamous cell carcinoma. IHC of urinary bladder mass was negative for uroplakin III. Determined likely squamous cell carcinoma based on presence of squamous differentiation of neoplastic cells and the IHC results. Metastatic neoplasia was confirmed on histology for all tissues except the lumbar spine (sections of which were histologically unremarkable), although this was still suspected based on gross appearance. In ruminants, urinary bladder neoplasms can be associated with bracken fern ingestion. Photo by Janice Park. | 05/23/2023 | |||||||
123,673 | 64,778 | F64778 | Schreeg | The Ohio State University | CANINE | GASTROINTESTINAL | MESENTERY | NEOPLASIA, NEOPLASM, TUMOR | 32 | Mesentery (Jejunum, Ileum): Focally extensive neoplasia (histologically confirmed as a mast cell tumor); Moderate, acute, segmental melena | 1 | 1 | Visceral mast cell tumor; melena | • 10-year-old, female spayed, mixed breed dog with neoplastic peritoneal effusion. Euthanized. • Within the mesentery of the jejunum and ileum is an 8x6x4cm, poorly-demarcated, infiltrative, soft, mottled dark red and tan, multilobulated mass that has a 1×1 cm, friable rupture site. The distal ileum and cecum contains a moderate amount of dark red to black, viscous fluid (melena). Grossly a variety of neoplastic differentials were considered. Histologically, the neoplasm was consistent with a round cell tumor, and neoplastic cells had strong and diffuse membranous to cytoplasmic labeling for cKIT, and were uniformly negative for CD3, CD20, and MUM1, consistent with diagnosis of a visceral mast cell tumor.

123,674 | 64,779 | F64779 | Schreeg | The Ohio State University | CANINE | GASTROINTESTINAL | STOMACH | DISPLACEMENT | 32 | Stomach and spleen: Gastric dilatation and volvulus with regionally extensive ischemic necrosis and splenic displacement | 1 | 1 | Gastric dilation and volvulus; GDV | Signalment and history: 14-year-old neutered male mixed breed dog with a 2 day history of vomiting and retching, lethargy, and anorexia. Description: Upon opening in right lateral recumbency, the stomach is markedly gas distended and rotated approximately 270 degrees clockwise on the mesenteric axis with the pylorus located craniodorsally and gastric fundus located ventrally. The gastric serosa and mucosa are regionally red to dark red with the fundus more affected. The serosal surface of the duodenum is diffusely red to dark red. The spleen is displaced caudally and to the right of midline. Photo by Allysa Cole. | 05/23/2023 | |||||||
123,675 | 64,780 | F64780 | Schreeg | The Ohio State University | CANINE | NERVOUS | BRAIN | CONGENITAL | 32 | Brain: Marked bilateral ventriculomegaly (hydrocephalus) | 1 | 1 | Hydrocephalus | Signalment and history: 3-month-old male pit bull terrier. Acute onset of seizures, with 6 seizures on day of presentation Description: The left and right lateral ventricles are markedly dilated, with the left and right cortex measuring 1 mm and up to 4 mm in thickness, respectively.

123,676 | 64,781 | F64781 | Schreeg | The Ohio State University | BOVINE | GASTROINTESTINAL | HEAD | CONGENITAL | 32 | Hard and soft palate: Palatoschisis (cleft palate) | 1 | 1 | Cleft palate; palatoschisis | Signalment and history: 1-day-old mixed breed beef calf born with severe angular limb deformities. The calf was unable to stand but had a suckle reflex. The cow has had two previously healthy calves, though 4 ewes on the farm birthed lambs with spinal deformities and absent tails. Description: There is incomplete closure of the hard and soft palate with a 14 cm x 3.5 cm defect communicating with the nasal cavity. Comments: Differentials for arthrogryposis in cattle include Akabane virus, Schmallenberg virus, Cache Valley virus, Bluetongue virus, or teratogenic plants. Viral etiologies are more likely to have gross lesions within the central nervous system, which were not seen in this case, so teratogenic plants were considered the most likely cause.

123,677 | 64,782 | F64782 | Schreeg | The Ohio State University | CANINE | RESPIRATORY | LUNG | THROMBUS, thrombi/EMBOLUS, emboli | 32 | Lung: Focal pulmonary thromboembolism | 1 | 1 | pulmonary thromboembolism; PTE | Signalment and history: 12-year-old spayed female mixed breed dog that presented for a routine cholecystectomy. During surgery, she developed intermittent tachypnea and acutely decompensated overnight with development of marked ascites. Description: Occluding a distal pulmonary artery of the right caudal lung lobe is a 20 mm x 5 mm x 5 mm, rough, tan to red, soft, coagulum that is moderately adhered to the intimal surface Photo by Allysa Cole. | 05/23/2023 | |||||||
123,678 | 64,783 | F64783 | Schreeg | The Ohio State University | BOVINE | CARDIOVASCULAR | AORTA | NORMAL | 32 | Ductus arteriosus: Normal neonatal finding | 1 | 1 | Ductus arteriosus; patent ductus arteriosus | Signalment and history: 6-day-old male Maine Anjou calf Description: The ductus arteriosus contains a moderate amount of friable, red, fibrous tissue obstructing the lumen between the pulmonary artery and aorta. Comments: Functional closure of the ductus arteriosus occurs shortly after birth, and complete anatomic closure is mediated by increased oxygen tension and inhibition of prostaglandin within the first weeks of life.

123,679 | 64,784 | F64784 | Schreeg | The Ohio State University | CANINE | CARDIOVASCULAR | HEART | DEGENERATION | 32 | Heart: Severe mitral valve endocardiosis with moderate left atrial dilation | 1 | 1 | Endocardiosis; mitral valve endocardiosis; mitral valve disease; myxomatous degeneration | Signalment and history: 14-year-old neutered male Pekingese that presented for progressive coughing, wheezing, and difficulty breathing. It was clinically found to have a 4/6 left apical systolic murmur and a collapsing trachea. Description: The mitral valve leaflets contain numerous, multifocal to coalescing, 3-6 mm in diameter, smooth, white, shiny nodules. The left atrium and left auricle are subjectively mildly enlarged.

123,680 | 64,785 | F64785 | Schreeg | The Ohio State University | FELINE | URINARY | KIDNEY | DISTENTION, DILATION, dilatation | 32 | Kidneys: Moderate bilateral hydronephrosis and hydroureter | 1 | 1 | Hydronephrosis; hydroureter | Signalment and history: 5-month-old spayed female Siamese cat that presented weak, lethargic, and ataxic since spay procedure. Serum chemistry revealed severe hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia, and azotemia. Description: The left and right kidneys are subjectively moderately enlarged, with mild to moderate enlargement of the renal pelves. Bilaterally the ureters are mildly and diffusely dilated and filled with clear, transparent, watery fluid with a diameter of up to 5 mm. The ureters contain no overt obstruction between the renal pelvis and urinary bladder, and the proximal urethra is patent. Comments: The underlying cause of hydronephrosis and hydroureter was not identified on gross or histologic evaluation. The clinic was concerned for accidental surgical ligation in this case, but there was no ligation noted or evidence of inflammation expected with a transient ligation, so dysplasia is prioritized as a cause of lesions. | 05/23/2023 | |||||||
123,681 | 64,786 | F64786 | Schreeg | The Ohio State University | FELINE | CARDIOVASCULAR | AORTA | THROMBUS, thrombi/EMBOLUS, emboli | 32 | Descending aorta at level of external iliac arteries: Focal acute thromboembolism | 1 | 1 | Saddle thrombus; aortic thromboembolism; ATE; hypertrophic cardiomegaly; HCM | Signalment and history: 12-year-old spayed female domestic longhair cat that presented acutely paraplegic. Description: Attached to the endothelial surface of the distal descending aorta at the level of the external iliac arteries is a dark red to tan, multilobular, rough, firm, coagulum that occludes both iliac arteries and distal descending aorta. The thrombus extends 2.1 cm cranial to the bifurcation, 0.2 cm into the left iliac artery, and 0.6 cm into the right iliac artery. Comments: Gross postmortem examination also identified marked cardiomegaly with moderate concentric left ventricular hypertrophy and left atrial dilation, which is the most likely contributing factor to the thromboembolism seen in the descending aorta.

123,682 | 64,787 | F64787 | Schreeg | The Ohio State University | CANINE | SKELETAL | FEMUR | NEOPLASIA, NEOPLASM, TUMOR | 32 | Proximal femur: Telangiectatic Osteosarcoma | 1 | 1 | osteosarcoma; telangiectatic osteosarcoma | 1-year-old MN Standard Poodle mix; Historical FHO surgery and has not been the same since. Was noted to be in respiratory distress by owner and died naturally. The head of the femur and proximal femoral neck are absent, and the surrounding soft tissues are markedly expanded by dark red fluid. The proximal end of the remaining femur is irregular and roughened, with segmental loss of the cortical bone. This region is surrounded by a thick, firm white capsule-like tissue that contains thin, linear to nodular, multifocal hard white tissue (bone). On section, the medullary space of the proximal end of the remaining femur (diaphyseal bone) contains abundant dark red to red to pale tan tissue, and, more distally, the medullary space is regionally filled with hard, white tissue (endosteal bone). There are multifocal bone spicules extending from the cortical surface, proximally. Not shown: In addition to the provided image, the thorax contained 700ml of dark red, opaque, watery fluid (hemorrhage, 26% blood volume). The lungs and mediastinum contained dozens of multifocal, pale, tan, round, firm, well demarcated nodules measuring from 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 cm to 1.5 x 1.5 x 1 cm and similar multifocal, dark red, round, firm, well demarcated nodules measuring from 2 x 2 x 2 cm to 4 x 5 x 3 cm. On cut section, the nodules released a dark red, moderately viscous fluid. This was consistent with metastatic osteosarcoma. This is an aggressive tumor primarily of long bones in dogs with primary metastasis to the lungs. Photo by Sophie Hopkins. | 05/23/2023 | |||||||
123,683 | 64,788 | F64788 | Schreeg | The Ohio State University | EQUINE | SKELETAL | BONE | INFLAMMATION/PROLIFERATIVE | 32 | Right calcaneus: Marked, chronic, regionally extensive osteomyelitis cartilage erosion and incomplete non-displaced cortical fracture | 1 | 1 | Osteomyelitis; fracture | 7-year-old Quarter horse gelding; The horse presented with a non-weight bearing right hind lameness. The limb was diffusely swollen, edematous, warm, consistent with a cellulitis. Bloodwork indicated marked inflammation and the horse was treated with intravenous antibiotics without improvement. An abscess was identified distal and caudle to the calcaneus with a calcaneal defect. A septic bursitis was diagnosed and euthanasia was elected. On the caudocranial aspect of the calcaneus there is an incomplete, nondisplaced, mildly comminuted, fracture creating a round depression and defect through the cortical bone. On sagittal sectioning, the medullary cavity of the calcaneus is mottled dark red to tan with rare foci of red discoloration radiating through the cortex. Just deep to the cortical fracture is a 0.5cm semi-circle of white firm matrix (sclerosis). Histologic evaluation confirmed a fibrinosuppurative osteomyelitis with fibroplasia.

123,684 | 64,789 | F64789 | Schreeg | The Ohio State University | EQUINE | SKELETAL | BONE | DEGENERATION | 32 | Left front fetlock, first phalanx: Marked, chronic, focal articular cartilage ulceration with osteosclerosis | 1 | 1 | cartilage erosion; cartilage ulceration; osteosclerosis; degenerative joint disease; osteoarthritis | 9-year-old Quarter Horse mare; History of lameness arising at a competition that did not resolve. There is a focal, irregular, well demarcated 0.7 x 0.3cm ulceration of the articular cartilage centered on the proximomedial condyle of the first phalanx. On sagittal sectioning of the first phalanx, deep to the cartilage ulceration, there is a 1cm semi-circle of white firm matrix immediately subjacent to the ulceration (sclerosis). Additional gross findings support the diagnosis of osteoarthritis: The fascia overlying the dorsomedial aspect of the first phalanx extending from the metacarpophalangeal joint to mid-diaphysis is moderately thickened. Arising from the underlying bone are multifocal to coalescing irregular, white, firm pinpoint to 0.5cm diameter nodules. Free within the metacarpophalangeal going are two firm, smooth, tan ovoid fragments of tissue measuring 1.0 x 0.4 x 0.2cm and 0.4 x 0.2 x 0.2cm (cartilaginous joint mice). The synovial tissue lining the metacarpophalangeal joint is enlarged and dark red. | 05/23/2023 | |||||||
123,685 | 64,790 | F64790 | Schreeg | The Ohio State University | CANINE | GASTROINTESTINAL | INTESTINE-SMALL | DISPLACEMENT | 32 | Duodenum, jejunum: Obstructive linear foreign body with duodenal and jejunal plication | 1 | 1 | Linear foreign body | 2-year-old FS Golden Retriever; History of vomiting and lethargy and natural death. There is a minimal amount of dark green, watery fluid in the peritoneal cavity. The duodenum is plicated at the base of the pylorus and plications extend into the proximal jejunum. There is a piece of green fabric measuring 52cm in length anchored within the pylorus and extending through the jejunum. Photo by Sophie Hopkins. | 05/23/2023 | |||||||
123,686 | 64,791 | F64791 | Schreeg | The Ohio State University | FELINE | GASTROINTESTINAL | INTESTINE | NEOPLASIA, NEOPLASM, TUMOR | 32 | Jejunum, mesenteric lymph node: Lymphoma | 1 | 1 | Lymphoma; enteropathy; gastrointestinal; intestinal | 10-year-old FS Domestic Shorthair; History of anorexia and collapse. Focally circumferentially expanding the wall of the mid-jejunum is a tan, soft, round mass measuring 3.5x4x3cm. On cut section, there is complete loss of normal bowel wall layering, and the mass is homogenously tan with a 1cm diameter lumen that is lined by a granular, rough surface and contains scant green to black ingesta. The mesenteric lymph node is markedly enlarged (3x4x3cm) and diffusely pale tan, round, and soft. On cut section, the lymph node lacks corticomedullary distinction has a 0.5cm diameter central area that is friable and yellow. Histopathology confirmed the grossly diagnosis of lymphoma for the mass in the jejunum. The top consideration for lymphoma subtype based on location and cell size is enteropathy associated T cell lymphoma (EATL) type I (intestinal large T cell lymphoma). Lymphoma within the liver and lymph nodes was also present in this case, in addition to a separate small T cell enteropathy lymphoma (EATL type II). Photo by Sophie Hopkins. | 05/23/2023 | |||||||
123,687 | 64,792 | F64792 | Schreeg | The Ohio State University | FELINE | HEPATOBILIARY SYSTEM | GALL BLADDER | OBSTRUCTION | 32 | Gallbladder, liver: Severe, chronic biliary outflow obstruction with severe gallbladder ectasia and extrahepatic cholestasis Body as a whole: Marked, diffuse icterus | 1 | 1 | gallbladder obstruction; extrahepatic obstruction; cholestasis; icterus; jaundice | 13-year-old MN Domestic Shorthair; Narrowing of bile duct and elevation in liver enzymes. Declined and was euthanized. The subcutaneous fat is diffusely yellow. The gallbladder is severely distended and tortuous, occupying 60% of the abdominal cavity, and is filled with dark green, mucoid material (bile). The liver with gallbladder attached weighs 763g (17.7% body weight). The liver is firm, has a moderately enhanced reticular pattern and exudes dark green mucoid material on cut section. On histologic evaluation at the base of the gallbladder, a neuroendocrine proliferation most consistent with a carcinoid was identified, and was thought to be the most likely cause of obstruction and subsequent extrahepatic biliary ectasia.
