Gross Pathology and Endocrinology of Ovarian Cysts in Bitches

Gross Pathology and Endocrinology of Ovarian Cysts in Bitches

A total of 73 bitches with ovarian cysts were ovariohysterectomized. Cysts were characterized by gross pathology and endocrine parameters. Therefore, oestradiol-17ß and progesterone concentrations were assessed in cyst-fluid and corresponding blood plasma in each bitch. Our data demonstrated that multiple cysts were often present in a single individual (82%) and that cysts were commonly found o...

Ovarian surface epithelium: biology, endocrinology, and pathology.

The epithelial ovarian carcinomas, which make up more than 85% of human ovarian cancer, arise in the ovarian surface epithelium (OSE). The etiology and early events in the progression of these carcinomas are among the least understood of all major human malignancies because there are no appropriate animal models, and because methods to culture OSE have become available only recently. The object...

Carpal bone cysts: MRI, gross pathology, and histology correlation in cadavers.

PURPOSE Intraosseous cysts of carpal bones are frequently observed on routine imaging examinations of the wrist. There is controversy regarding the underlying pathogenesis of these cysts. In this study, we aimed to investigate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) appearance of intracarpal bone cysts in correlation with histologic analysis, using cadaveric wrists. METHODS Five freshly frozen c...

I-58: Sclerosing of Ovarian Cysts

Gross pathology and histopathology in fish: summary

The principal aim of the group of papers on gross pathology and histopathology was to assess the value of epidemiological studies of disease in dab Lin~anda limanda and of quantitative histological indices in the same species, for monitoring environmental quality in offshore waters. The Bremerhaven Workshop provided a unique opportunity for a comparative study, with a comprehensive chemical pro...
