Hello and welcome to the Feb-
ruary 2011 issue of PATHways.
We haven’t had an issue of
PATHways come out in a
while, but plan on getting back
to our regular biannual sched-
ule. Once again, we have an
issue jam-packed with interest-
ing information. Dr. Anoop
Kavirayani from The Jackson
Laboratory contributed a very
nice article discussing mentor-
ing from the mentees perspective. We have
a nice biosketch detailing the duties of Dr.
Stephanie Corn, a clinical pathologist for
IDEXX Laboratories. An overview of the
student ACVP chapter at The Ohio State
University is given by
Gabrielle Pastenkos. Dr.
Gaurav Tyagi from
Roche Pharmaceuticals
shares an interesting
case report of an ab-
dominal mass in a Cyno-
molgus Macaque. We
also include a compre-
hensive listing of up-
coming veterinary pa-
thology related events,
general announcements of interest, and a
pictoral synopsis of the 2010 STP Annual

Mentoring: A former mentee’s reflections Contributed by Dr. Anoop Kavirayani, The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Maine
longer staples, but vital supplements. Instruction in
Pathology as it happens becomes the staple.
Mentees can make the most of “instruction in Pathol-
ogy as it happens” by realizing that Pathologists vary
in their styles of practice and instruction. They will
find great diversity in mentoring styles and outputs
and it is only natural that different styles and outputs
will suit mentees of different aspirations and mind-
sets. As illustrated in the opening quote, the primary
focus should then be on the dynamic flow of knowl-
edge and sustained enrichment of skill sets. Re-
sources and logistics permitting, mentees should try
to develop mentoring relationships with multiple
mentors in different capacities. In addition to primary
mentors, namely the Pathology faculty to whom the
mentees are assigned for the duration of the residency
program, it would be productive to have secondary
and tertiary mentors.
The teacher is the prior form, the taught is the poste-
rior form, learning is the intermediate form and
knowledge is the connection. Thus one should medi-
tate upon knowledge. (The Upanishads)
Mentoring can be thought of as an augmentation of
the learning process that results in the enrichment of a
mentee’s knowledge in that discipline or pursuit. The
mentee and mentor are integral components of such a
mentoring equation that consists of dynamic imparta-
tion and imbibition of skill sets necessary for success
in professional practice.
In more specific terms, the Oxford Dictionary of Hu-
man Resource Management (© Oxford University
Press, 2010) defines mentoring as “the process,
whereby a senior employee takes an active role in
developing a junior colleague. Typically, this occurs
at managerial level or amongst professions. The men-
tor provides advice on how the mentee can develop
his or her skills, competencies, knowledge, and ex-
perience in order to progress along a successful ca-
reer path. As well as giving advice, the mentor might
also prove useful in providing contacts that help the
mentee to engage in the process of networking.”
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
to residents, they typically become units of a smaller,
much more interconnected training group in which
timed lectures and tailored laboratory sessions are no

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
and regional meetings could serve as venues of peri-
odic follow-up on tertiary mentoring interactions.
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
who have mentored me in Pathology I wish all Pa-
thology mentees-to-be the very best in finding pro-
ductive “knowledge connections.”

A day in the Life of…...
I do consults with Veterinarians about results
from cytology, hematology, or flow cytometry sam-
ples that I have evaluated as well as any other labo-
ratory results that they need help interpreting.
Our laboratory shares the building with a small
animal specialty clinic (MedVet Medical and Cancer
Center for Pets), and I train surgery, internal medi-
cine, and oncology residents in pathology.
I participate in tumor rounds with the specialists
from MedVet. I also attend clinical pathology semi-
nar with the clinical pathologists and clinical pathol-
ogy residents at The Ohio State University.
I train a clinical pathology resident that is in a
dual program with IDEXX and The Ohio State
University.
What do you like most about veterinary pa-
thology? Making a diagnosis in a tough case. It’s
very rewarding to be able to give the submitting Vet-
erinarian a specific diagnosis that can guide treat-
ment. My favorite cases are infectious diseases that
mimic neoplasia. It can be very hard to differentiate
between these based on the clinical presentation
alone, and the treatment and prognosis are com-
pletely different.
Advice for students in-
terested in veterinary pa-
thology as a career?
Learn about as many species
as you can, and spend Vet
school learning how to be a
well-rounded Veterinarian.
You can wait to specialize
until your residency.
Who is your current employer?
I am a clinical pathologist at IDEXX Laboratories,
Inc. in Worthington, OH.
Where did you do your training?
1992 – 1996, BS, Zoology, The Ohio State Univer-sity

Ohio State University 2005 – Diplomate, American College of Veterinary
Pathologists
What are some of your day-to-day duties?
I spend most of my time examining fine needle aspi-
rate slides from a variety of lesions. Most of these are
skin or subcutaneous masses and peripheral lymph
nodes, but I also see many ultrasound-guided aspirates
of internal organs or masses. Most of the samples are
from dogs and cats, but I also get samples from horses,
ruminants, llamas/alpacas, exotics, and zoo animals.
I evaluate fluid samples from the abdominal, pleural,
or pericardial space, as well as cerebrospinal fluid and
joint fluid.
I review abnormal blood smears flagged by techni-
cians that perform the initial evaluation of CBC slides in
the lab. These patients may be diagnosed with leukemia,
blood parasites, or a specific etiology for their anemia
(e.g. Heinz body anemia).
I interpret results of immunophenotyping by flow
cytometry for dogs and cats with lymphocytosis in the
peripheral blood. This can help differentiate between
reactive lymphocytosis and lymphoid leukemia (chronic
or acute). Lymph node samples from dogs diagnosed
with lymphoma on cytology are also examined to differ-
entiate between B-cell and T-cell lymphoma, which has
prognostic value.

tion to pathologic diagnosis of disease. These infor-
mal meetings are an excellent forum for general dis-
cussions about the profession. Formal lunch lectures
are regular events, often hosted jointly with other
clubs with the intention of demonstrating the inter-
face of pathology and clinical medicine. Dr. Donald
H. Schlafer, from Cornell College of Medicine, re-
cently visited as a lecturer, at an event co-sponsored
by the Pathology and Theriogeneology clubs. Dr.
Schlafer gave an engaging lecture on placental abnor-
malities. The club is looking forward to a lecture by
the College’s own Dr. Christopher Premanandan on
ruminant abortion, co-hosted by the Food Animal
Club. Dr. Premanandan’s food animal pathology lec-
tures are popular events.
Our professors and residents take an active role in
directing students with specific interests in clinical
and anatomic pathology towards shaping and achiev-
ing their professional goals. A recent lecture featured
Dr. Krista La Perle ,Director of the Comparative Pa-
thology and Mouse Phenotyping Shared Resource,
discussing her professional history. Dr. Premanandan
led several wetlabs that showed students how to se-
lect tissues from the necropsy floor for slide prepara-
tion. Students chose tissues, cut samples, fixed them
and sent them for slide preparation, and participated
in a slide review.
The Ohio State University College
of Veterinary Medicine: Student
Chapter of the ACVP
Contributed by Gabrielle Pastenkos
The Ohio State University College of Veterinary
Medicine’s chapter of the ACVP was founded in
2000. The club has a small core of dedicated mem-
bers and maintains contact with a large portion of the
student body through its listserv. Current officers are
Dillon Muth (President), Gabrielle Pastenkos (Vice
President) and Amy Gagat (Treasurer). Dr. Paul D.
Stromberg is faculty advisor, and Drs. Kristin Lewis
and Sarah Chaney are the 2010-2011 resident men-
tors. The club does not charge dues for membership
and welcomes all students to its events. Our goal is
that the majority of OSU veterinary students experi-
ence the interface of pathology and clinical medicine.
Most events are made possible by the generosity of
our residents and professors, who freely share their
time and expertise. Funds come from participation in
monthly Hills food sales in addition to grants from
the University.
The OSU SCACVP strives to provide experiential
opportunities to students who are looking forward to
clinical practice as well as to those planning on a ca-
reer in pathology. Weekly slide readings with our
residents keep pace with the first year histology cur-
riculum, and club members run reviews before first
year exams. Members of the pre-veterinary club join
us for a wetlab where they get a hands-on introduc-

with slide cases, gross photos are displayed on a pro-
jector screen, and club members make themselves
available to prospective students to answer questions
both about the pathology field and veterinary school
life in general.
The combination of outstanding pathology faculty, an
excellent resident training program, and strong stu-
dent interest facilitates exposure to a wide variety of
practical pathology experiences for OSU students.
The club makes a yearly presentation at the College’s
open house program. The microscope lab is set up
with slide cases, gross photos are displayed on a pro-
jector screen, and club members make themselves
available to prospective students to answer questions
both about the pathology field and veterinary school
life in general.
The club’s members take active roles in College re-
search. Over the past two years, three members have
participated in the College’s Summer Veterinary
Scholar Research Program (supported both by an
NIH T35 grant and the Morris Animal Foundation)
and attended the Merck-Merial NIH National Veteri-
nary Scholars Symposium to present their research.
Dillon Muth’s project developed regulatory dendritic
cells with the pregnancy estrogen Estriol. Gabrielle
Pastenkos performed sequencing and phylogenetic
analysis of three major surface antigens of
Neorickettsia risticii. Bonnie Harrington’s project
differentiated biologically high grade mast cell tu-
mors from their biologically low grade counterparts
based on molecular biology. Fourth year member
Lauren Mattei received the OSU CVM 2010 Ad-
vances in Veterinary Medicine day basic research
travel award for her poster, "Innate Immunity to Oral
Salmonella Infection in Absence of IL-17." Club
members attend the annual ACVP conference with
financial assistance from the ACVP. At this year’s
conference, Dillon Muth will be presenting a poster
titled, “Synovial Cell Sarcoma in a Marmoset”.

Case Report The case of the Mass-Laden Macaque
Special thanks to Dr. Gaurav Tyagi, Senior Principal Scientist, Roche Pharmaceuticals, for contributing this case.
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.
Gross appearance of endometriosis in a human. The rectum is adherent to the left uterosacral ligament and the
back of the cervix with endometriosis. (http://www.gynaecology.spotmysite.com/page/649/)

Case Report The case of the mass-Laden Macaque
Microscopic Appearance…………….
200µm
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.

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.
