The annual Division of Translational Toxicology (DTT) Satellite Symposium is a one-day meeting that is held in conjunction with the annual Society of Toxicologic Pathology meeting. These DTT Satellite Symposia focus on challenging diagnostic or nomenclature issues as related to toxicologic pathology. A description of the cases and lesions is provided in the links associated with each satellite symposium.

2019 Satellite Symposium
Topics included aging mouse lesions from various strains, as well as the following lesions from various rat strains: rete testis sperm granuloma/fibrosis, ovarian cystadenocarcinoma, retro-orbital schwannoma, periductal cholangiofibrosis of the liver and pancreas, pars distalis hypertrophy, chronic progressive nephropathy, and renal tubule regeneration. Other cases presented included polyovular follicles in young beagle dogs, a fungal blood smear contaminant, how immunohistochemistry may improve the diagnosis of some tumors, retinal lesions from a rhesus macaque, and lesions from the International Harmonization of Nomenclature and Diagnostic Criteria (INHAND) Non-Rodent Fish Working Group.
