Surgical Pathology

The macroscopic examination is fundamental. Expertise in the gross room provides a pathway toward an accurate diagnosis.

Cytopathology

Sertoli Cell tumor – This is a testicular tumor that has characteristic pink globular material called Call-Exner bodies.

Avian Reptile Hematology

White Pelican – This is from an injured white pelican and is demonstrating signs of inflammation with the “toxic” and “left shifted” heterophils.

Immunocytochemistry
