Recommendations:
Follow up: Mast cell disease was confirmed in the cytology of the liver/spleen and effusion.
Candidate Performance: Many candidates did well on the question correlating all the major radiographic findings into a well thought out, inclusive differential list (one of the skills this case was intended to evaluate). Some candidates described the findings but then only concluded on one of them (ie. loss of detail) or could not put all the findings together into a cohesive differential list. A few candidates either missed major findings (i.e. organomegaly) or described abnormalities that were not present.
