The Bristol Veterinary Histopath Slide Club had the last meeting of the year on Wednesday 27th September 2017. A brief list of some of the cases presented includes: an epithelial myocardial inclusion in a 4 week old calf, atypical mesothelial proliferation expanding a thoracic lymph node in association with a clear cell carcinoma in a dog and primary nodal haemangiosarcoma in a dog.
There was a case of pemphigus vulgaris in a dog with a possible association with previous antibiotic treatment, cytology of lipid/crystalline material in macrophages likely associated with lufenuron administration, poxvirus inclusions on cytology and some unusual syncytial type cells on vaginal cytology from a young cat. A case of tracheal fibrinous pseudomembrane formation possibly associated with previous intubation was presented.
There was a case of medulloepithelioma in a 2 year old Golden Retriever and a nice case of Lafora Disease in a 7 year old Bassett Hound presenting with myoclonus of the temporal and triceps muscles. We also saw a case of unusual vascular medial hypertrophy affecting subpleural vessels and a very nice case of paraspinal abscess and spinal empyaema in a 10 month old dog.
