Visual guide to the recognition, description and interpretation of lesions of the digestive apparatus of pigs. Integrates macroscopic and microscopic findings associated with lesions that develop during the course of various pathological processes. Brief descriptions of the main anatomopathological features of each image are provided, which is essential for proper understanding of the disease process, diagnosis and underlying causes.
Atlas of anatomical pathology of the gastrointestinal system of swine
Presentation of the book This atlas is a visual guide to the recognition and interpretation of lesions that develop during various gastrointestinal processes in pigs, including alterations of the peritoneum, which is anatomically related to the digestive organs. The content is not limited to disorders caused by biological agents, which undoubtedly play a major role in pig digestive pathologies, but covers pathological processes of various aetiologies. The images of macroscopic and microscopic lesions in this atlas are designed to complement one another. This format emphasises the fact that descriptions of pathological alterations are incomplete without an understanding of the associated histopathological bases. In some case, examples of healthy organs and tissues are shown for comparative purposes. The main goal of this atlas is to aid interpretation based on major pathological changes, a fundamental aspect of diagnostic protocols. Each image is accompanied by a description of the defining characteristics, avoiding where possible the theoretical approach characteristic of textbooks. The images are accompanied by comments on the differential diagnosis, noting the age of the animals, the location of the pathology and the type of reaction induced. While this atlas is not exhaustive, it provides important insight into gastrointestinal diseases of pigs, the study of contributes to our overall understanding of anatomic pathology. The author

ATLAS OF ANATOMICAL PATHOLOGY OF THE GASTROINTESTINAL SYSTEM OF SWINE
Postmortem changes 001A
001B
001A
Haemoglobin imbibition. Red colouration of the gastric serosa caused by diffusion of haemoglobin that has been degraded by autolysis. This effect is more pronounced throughout the vessels and areas that make contact with the liver.
001B
Postmortem emphysema. Liver surface with foamy aspect owing to the formation of bubbles due to bacterial activity.
Stomach
Lesions of continuity 002
003
Gastric perforation can occur in different processes, such as ulcers, and can be caused by the corrosive action of aggressive chemicals, including iatrogenic agents.
002
Perforation. Loss of continuity of the gastric wall, affecting all layers, with reactive margins. Fattening pig.
003
Perforation. All layers of the glandular stomach are affected by tissue destruction (left). Fibrinous exudate with leukocytes, bacteria, and plant debris in the serosa (right). Fattening pig. Haematoxylin-eosin (HE).

Postmortem changes 036
036
Terminal contraction. Turgid loops of the small intestine appear reticulated due to the presence of marked folds in the mucosa.
037 Intussusception and the contraction of intestinal segments are manifestations of irregular peristalsis immediately following the death of the animal. Terminal contraction is not caused by chronic inflammation and the folds disappear if stretched. False intussusception is recognised by the relative absence of circulatory disturbances.
037
Agonal intussusception. Portion of the small intestine which is thickened due to the introduction into its lumen of an adjacent segment.
INTESTINE
038
039
038
Postmortem bloating. Late-stage, generalised insufflation of the intestine with discolouration, caused by gases produced by the action of bacteria on the intestinal contents.
039
Postmortem emphysema. Formation of gas bubbles under the serosa of the large intestine due to the action of saprophytic bacteria, coupled with bloating and haemoglobin imbibition.

Oedema. Gelatinous expansion of the mesocolon. Suckling pig.
058B
058B
Oedema.
Expansion of tissue components between two loops of the colon caused by fluid accumulation. HE.
Mesocolon oedema, which is common in cases of Clostridium difficile infection in piglets, is not considered a pathognomonic indicator.
INTESTINE
059A
059B
059A
Oedema. Gelatinous infiltration, more pronounced in the mesenteric insertion of the small intestine. Weaner pig.
059B
Oedema. Paleness of the submucosa due to expansion of the extracellular matrix (left). Separation of the serosa due to submesothelial accumulation of fluid (right). HE.

Dilated loops of the small intestine with prominent mesenteric vessels. Suckling pig.

Fat necrosis. Whitish, desiccated-looking multifocal deposits, with a reddish margin, located in the omentum. Fattening pig.
159B
159B
Fat necrosis.
Focus of large fat cells with poorly defined borders, delimited from the adjacent adipose tissue by an inflammatory cell infiltrate. HE.
Among other causes, abdominal fat necrosis is attributed to the release of pancreatic enzymes in response to inflammation, pressure, or trauma.
Peritoneum
Parasites

Visceral cysticercosis.
Translucent vesicles in the omentum, isolated or grouped in small clusters. Fattening pig.
