Right side had negative pressure - upon being punctured, it sucked inward. The left side had no such reaction. Large pool of bubbles around the medial steinal region (photo on far left). Abdominal Cavity: Full with blood. Large 10-cm long chicken fat clot. Origin of clot is unknown, but it may have come out of the renal veins. Internal Parasites Summary (location, type, #): Stomach was full of nematodes as well as many nematodes attached to stomach lining. Heavy load of Acanthocephalans in intestines. SUMMARY- Differential Diagnosis from Gross Exam (Same as front page): Bubbles in the fascia layer throughout entire body cavity, from the jaw down to pelvic region. Especially large amount of bubbles around medial steinal region. It is possible that air is escaping from fractured/ruptured bronchus. Negative pressure in right side of thoracic cavity. Lungs were wet, heavy and congested with areas of crepitous tissue in the caudal region of both lungs. Hardened circular nodule on anterior section of trachea. Prescapular lymph nodes appeared reactive. Stomach was full of nematodes as well as many nematodes attached to stomach lining. Stomach mucosa was hemorrhaged.

Tissues were submitted, trimmed, and sectioned at Histology Consultation Services and a total of 29 slides resulted. MORPHOLOGIC DIAGNOSES Systems with Significant Findings/Incidental Findings Hepatobiliary System: Liver: Hemosiderosis, diffuse, mild. Hematopoietic/Lymphoreticular System: A.Tracheobronchial Lymph Node: Anthracosis, multifocal. B.Pancreatic Lymph Node: Hemosiderosis. C.Mesenteric and Prescapular Lymph Node: Hyperplastic. D.Spleen: Hemosiderosis. Digestive System: A.Pancreas, Exocrine: Atrophy. B.Esophagus: Esophagitis, proliferative, focally extensive. C.Stomach: Focal lymphoplasmacytic to granulomatous gastritis. Integumentary System: Skin: Dermatitis, lymphoplasmacytic, multifocal, mild.

10 IFAW10-017Pg P Nervous System: Brain: Congestion Respiratory System: Trachea, Nodule: Focal cartilage fracture with associated fibrosis. Genital System: Testes: 1.Inactive. 2.Ceroid-lipofuscin, multifocal ( wear and tear pigment). Tissues without Significant Findings/Incidental Findings: ventricle, lung, diaphragm, adrenal gland, kidney, spinal cord, intestine, adipose, thyroid gland, urinary bladder. FINAL DIAGNOSES/INTERPRETATIVE SUMMARY Diagnosis (Focal) Tracheal Cartilage Fracture with Fibrosis Hyperplastic Lymph Nodes Gastritis Dermatitis Anthracosis (liver) There are several incidental lesions involving the respiratory system (trachea), integumentary system, lymphoreticular system. The tracheal nodule is a site of cartilage fracture and repair by fibrosis. The unknown tissue in the thoracic cavity is a clot which is likely antemortem. This could be associated with trauma. Hemosiderosis is the presence of iron compounds within macrophages. The presence of hemosiderin in the liver may reflect age (turnover of maternal red blood cells in neonates, for example), bleeding disorder or hemorrhage. Black pigment was found within macrophages in the lymph node that is most consistent with anthropogenic carbon-based pigments (anthracosis).
