Dogs, Cats, Horses: Pathology of Pituitary Dysfunction

The pituitary gland plays a central role in endocrine regulation, and its dysfunction can have profound systemic effects across species. This session will provide an in-depth exploration of pituitary pathology in dogs, cats, and horses, with a focus on common pituitary diseases, neoplasms, and recent advancements in diagnostic methodologies.
Key topics will include the histopathological features, clinical correlations, and pathophysiological mechanisms underlying pituitary disorders in these species. By examining case examples and discussing current challenges, the session will offer a comparative perspective on the diagnosis and pathology of pituitary dysfunction. This session will also provide attendees with valuable insights into the latest diagnostic techniques, histopathological characteristics, and emerging research that enhance diagnostic precision and improve patient outcomes.
