Part 1: A Microscopic Tour of Non-neoplastic Cavity Effusions

Cytologic evaluation of cavity effusions serves a vital role in determining the underlying cause. Unique clues can be detected in the microscopic assessment of the effusion that can allow for narrowing down of a differential list or even achieving a definitive diagnosis. In this session, we will discuss non-neoplastic cavity effusions in dogs and cats, including possible causes and their microscopic/biochemical features.
