This definition seems to readily apply to Pathology
training programs in which practicing Pathologists
and Pathology educators facilitate in various ways,
the favorable metamorphosis of students to Patholo-
gists through the critical stage of residency.

With the above perspective, it seems appropriate to
reflect on the mentee side of the equation as applica-
ble to Pathology mentoring. Once students transform

Mentoring: A former mentee’s reflections, Cont.
  Secondary mentors would be visiting faculty or fac-
  ulty at a collaborating institution with whom the men-
  tees could interact periodically and primary mentors
  could facilitate such interactions. When feasible,
  mentees could also interact with tertiary mentors who
  would be members of organizations such as the
  American College of Veterinary Pathology, Ameri-
  can Society of Investigative Pathology and Society of
  Toxicologic Pathology. Such interactions would typi-
  cally be remote (electronic / telephonic) and should
  ensure that conflicts of interest are avoided. Annual      C o r m o r a n t

  Through all these possibilities, mentees could pru-
  dently take it upon themselves to find the “intuition-
  instruction equilibrium,” and assimilate and integrate
  as much as they can of the various styles and skill
  sets in line with their aspirations and long-term goals.


  I’ll now conclude my reflections and suggestions as a
  former mentee with the hope of transforming myself
  into a mentor. With a final note of gratitude to those

    Case Report
    The case of the Mass-Laden Macaque
    The presentation…………….


 Signalment: 10 year old, female, naive, cynomolgus macaque (Macaca fascicularis).



 History: On routine external examination, a mass was palpated in the caudal abdomen.
 Examination of a fine needle aspirate from the mass was non-specific and contained
 erythrocytes, hemosiderin-filled macrophages, and rare neutrophils. The animal was
 euthanized and necropsied. Clinical pathology (hematology, coagulation, routine
 clinical chemistry) identified a slightly decreased hematocrit (31%).


 Necropsy: The urogenital tract and colon/rectum were consolidated into a mottled,
 firm, irregular, approximately 4 x 4 x 5 cm mass that contained many blood filled cysts.

At higher magnification, the wall of the cysts was composed of ectopic endometrial tissue with epi-
thelium, glands, and stroma.


Histopathology: The outer surface of the uterus, ovary, broad ligament and colon
were distorted and covered by many small coalescing cystic masses. The cysts were
variably filled with erythrocytes, few neutrophils, macrophages and cellular debris and
were lined by a single layer of well-differentiated glandular epithelium, morphologi-
cally consistent with endometrium. This epithelial layer was supported by spindle-
shaped endometrial stromal cells which merged into the adjoining smooth muscle or
connective tissue. There were multiple interspersed areas of fibrosis expanded by
chronic inflammation containing macrophages (some of them containing hemosiderin),
lymphocytes and plasma cells.

   And the answer is…………….

   Microscopic diagnosis: Chronic endometriosis with adhesions


   Comments:

   Endometriosis is the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue, outside the uterus
   (Fanton et al., 1986). Endometriosis is a common disorder of sexually ma-
   ture female macaques with a reported incidence of up to 30% in some colo-
   nies (Zondervan et al., 2004). Reported clinical signs in macaques with en-
   dometriosis are non-specific and include body weight loss, anorexia, consti-
   pation, decreased fertility and anemia. The masses in the abdominal and pel-
   vic cavity can occasionally be palpated externally or by digital rectal exami-
   nation. Grossly, endometriosis is often observed as mottled, tan, cystic
   masses in the pelvic and abdominal cavity over the surface of uterus, urinary
   bladder, distal colon and ovaries. Histologically, these masses are composed
   of ectopic endometrial glands and stroma with hemorrhage. This ectopic en-
   dometrial tissue undergoes cyclical changes in response to estrogen and pro-
   gesterone, however the endometriotic lesions have been reported to have de-
   fective hormonal regulation (Sternfeld et al., 1988)

   Though an exact mechanism for the development of endometriosis is not
   known, it has been proposed that retrograde menstruation through the fallo-
   pian tubes causes the spread of endometrial tissue to the pelvic and perito-
   neal cavity (metastatic theory). Another hypothesis is that ectopic endo-
   metrium arises directly from the mesothelium of pelvis or abdomen
   (metaplastic theory). Risk factors for endometriosis reportedly include ge-
   netic predisposition, hysterectomy, whole body irradiation and exposure to
   toxins (Cline et al., 2008, Zondervan et al., 2004). Endometriosis is an im-
   portant clinical condition of women and can cause infertility, pelvic pain and
   dysmenorrhea among other complications. Non human primates have been
   used as a model to investigate human endometriosis.

Veterinary Pathology Residents on Facebook!!
Group description:
This group was created to foster communication between residents of both clinical and anatomic pathology programs.
Gross, histology and cytology pictures can be posted to show classic/interesting/unusual diseases, lesions or simply to
ask questions. This group can also be used to aid in board preparation and study, in which study materials can be
shared.

We will also institute a gross and/or histology/cytology picture of the month, and will accept submissions up to the 2nd
to last Monday of every month.

Please feel free to offer any comments or suggestions in order to make this group as beneficial for everyone possible.

With the above perspective, it seems appropriate to reflect on the mentee side of the equation as applica- ble to Pathology mentoring.

Secondary mentors would be visiting faculty or fac- ulty at a collaborating institution with whom the men- tees could interact periodically and primary mentors could facilitate such interactions. When feasible, mentees could also interact with tertiary mentors who would be members of organizations such as the American College of Veterinary Pathology, Ameri- can Society of Investigative Pathology and Society of Toxicologic Pathology. Such interactions would typi- cally be remote (electronic / telephonic) and should ensure that conflicts of interest are avoided.

History: On routine external examination, a mass was palpated in the caudal abdomen. Examination of a fine needle aspirate from the mass was non-specific and contained erythrocytes, hemosiderin-filled macrophages, and rare neutrophils. The animal was euthanized and necropsied. Clinical pathology (hematology, coagulation, routine clinical chemistry) identified a slightly decreased hematocrit (31%). Necropsy: The urogenital tract and colon/rectum were consolidated into a mottled, firm, irregular, approximately 4 x 4 x 5 cm mass that contained many blood filled cysts.

Histopathology: The outer surface of the uterus, ovary, broad ligament and colon were distorted and covered by many small coalescing cystic masses. The cysts were variably filled with erythrocytes, few neutrophils, macrophages and cellular debris and were lined by a single layer of well-differentiated glandular epithelium, morphologi- cally consistent with endometrium. This epithelial layer was supported by spindle- shaped endometrial stromal cells which merged into the adjoining smooth muscle or connective tissue. There were multiple interspersed areas of fibrosis expanded by chronic inflammation containing macrophages (some of them containing hemosiderin), lymphocytes and plasma cells.
  • 10. V o l u m e 3 , I s s u e 1 Page 10 Case Report The case of the mass-Laden Macaque And the answer is……………. Microscopic diagnosis: Chronic endometriosis with adhesions Comments: Endometriosis is the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue, outside the uterus (Fanton et al., 1986). Endometriosis is a common disorder of sexually ma- ture female macaques with a reported incidence of up to 30% in some colo- nies (Zondervan et al., 2004). Reported clinical signs in macaques with en- dometriosis are non-specific and include body weight loss, anorexia, consti- pation, decreased fertility and anemia. The masses in the abdominal and pel- vic cavity can occasionally be palpated externally or by digital rectal exami- nation. Grossly, endometriosis is often observed as mottled, tan, cystic masses in the pelvic and abdominal cavity over the surface of uterus, urinary bladder, distal colon and ovaries. Histologically, these masses are composed of ectopic endometrial glands and stroma with hemorrhage. This ectopic en- dometrial tissue undergoes cyclical changes in response to estrogen and pro- gesterone, however the endometriotic lesions have been reported to have de- fective hormonal regulation (Sternfeld et al., 1988) Though an exact mechanism for the development of endometriosis is not known, it has been proposed that retrograde menstruation through the fallo- pian tubes causes the spread of endometrial tissue to the pelvic and perito- neal cavity (metastatic theory). Another hypothesis is that ectopic endo- metrium arises directly from the mesothelium of pelvis or abdomen (metaplastic theory). Risk factors for endometriosis reportedly include ge- netic predisposition, hysterectomy, whole body irradiation and exposure to toxins (Cline et al., 2008, Zondervan et al., 2004). Endometriosis is an im- portant clinical condition of women and can cause infertility, pelvic pain and dysmenorrhea among other complications. Non human primates have been used as a model to investigate human endometriosis. References available on page 13.
