Melanocytes Location: Pigmented areas of body. Characteristics and function: Melanin producing cells of the body. Associated with epidermis, mucosae and serosal surfaces. Shape and size: Medium sized with pleomorphic morphology and no defined cellular limits (a) Cytoplasm: Abundant, faint Basophilic (c), large numbers of dark fine melanin granules (d). Nucleus: Large, round, central with fine stippled chromatin (b). Background: Free melanin pigment. Differential: Melanophage. #vetpath #vetpath #veterinaryclinpath #veterinarypathology #veterinarycytopathology #veterinarycytology #vetcytology #cytology #cytologyvet #cytologystuff #normalcaninecell #normalcell #melanocytes #melaningranules https://www.instagram.com/drdashvetpath/p/BwRCJnNhCkM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v1hiuv0kzaws

And again!!!! Lipoma in a dog: Seen are plump adipocytes with optically empty cytoplasm due to the stored fats/lipids in the cells. The nucleus is pushed to the periphery to accomodate the maximum available space for storage of fats/lipids. Adipose tissue are usually found intertwined with collagenous fibres and blood vessels forming a 3D cytoarchitecture. #vetpath #vetpathology #cytopathology #vetdiagnosis #vetdiagnostics #fna #fnac #cytology #cytologyvet #veterinarycytopathology #vetlabdiagnostic #fineneedleaspirationcytology #fineneedleaspirate #lipoma #subcutaneous #veterinaryclinicalpathology #cytologicalexamination #aspirationcytology https://www.instagram.com/drdashvetpath/p/Bvenfy5hfrW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=306j3bci9mbr

Granulosa cells: Location: Female genital tract, ovaries. Function: Oocyte maturation and support. Nucleus: Eccentric, polygonal with reticular chromatin (a) Cytoplasm: Scant and basophilic (b), sometimes seen with empty vacuoles (c) Cytoarchitecture: Small pavement clusters (d) Ddx: Lymphoblasts #vetpath #veterinarypathology #vetcytology #veterinarycytology #cytology #cytologyvet #cellcytology #cellsundermicroscope #ovariancells #granulosa #granulosacell #cytodiagnostic #normalcell #cytologicalexamination #impressionsmear https://www.instagram.com/drdashvetpath/p/BvbzxP_hfQb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=j6zcavgyj9ew

Eosinophilic lymphadenitis: Eosinophils are not commonly observed in the lymph nodes. Individually or seen in aggregates in cases like chronic skin infections, allergic and hypersensitivity reactions, paraneoplastic response, fungal and parasitic infections. Prognosis is good but also depends on the underlying cause (Inflammatory or paraneoplastic response). #vetpath #vetpathology #vetclinpath #veterinarypathology #veterinaryclinicalpathology #fineneedleaspirationcytology #fineneedleaspirate #fineneedleaspiration #cytology #cytologyvet #veterinarycytology #lymphnode #lymphadenitis #eosinophils #caninecytology #dogcytology #cytopathology #cytopath #veterinarycytopathology https://www.instagram.com/drdashvetpath/p/BvTETR4hc3A/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=k1qkf226vr57

Epidermal cyst with pyogranulomatous inflammation in a dog: As seen in the images many polymorphonuclear cells are seen surrounding the irregular dark basophilic material. Multinucleated foreign body giant cells along with variable number of macrophages can also be observed in aspirates. The dark basophilic material seen are aggregates of keratinized materials which have been ruptured from the cyst into the surrounding tissue. A inflammatory response is set by the host to clear out the debris along with keratinized materials out of the involved tissue. #vetpath #vetpathology #veterinarypathology #veterinarypath #vetclinpath #veterinaryclinpath #veterinaryclinicalpathology #vetclinicalpathology #cytology #vetcytology #veterinarycytology #aspirate #aspirationcytology #aspirate #vetlabdiagnostic #veterinarylabdiagnosis #cytologicalexamination #cytologylab #cytologyvet #fnac #fna #caninetissue #epidermalcyst #dermatology #vetdermatology #veterinarydermatology https://www.instagram.com/drdashvetpath/p/BvGNW39h3R-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16c5bpw8m5clt
