ABSTRACT

A captive 7-year-old male bush dog (Speothos venaticus) was diagnosed with lymphoma affecting the kidneys, adrenal glands, liver, and spleen. The animal developed renal failure and was euthanized due to poor prognosis. Grossly, both kidneys were enlarged with multiple nodules. Histologically, the neoplasm was an infiltrative and poorly demarcated round cell tumor. Two morphologically distinct cell populations were observed, smaller cells with a lymphocytic morphology, and another population of larger and pleomorphic cells. Most of the smaller cell population, approximately 40% of the population within the neoplasm, were CD3 positive. Neoplastic cells were CD45, CD11d, and granzime B positive, and negative for CD20, CD79a, PAX5, CD163, and myeloperoxidase. This is the first reported case of lymphoma in a bush dog. This report demonstrated the suitability of several cell surface markers for differential diagnosis of round cell tumors in this species.(AU)


Um cachorro-do-mato-vinagre (Speothos venaticus), de sete anos de idade, mantido em cativeiro, foi diagnosticado com linfoma que havia afetado os rins, as adrenais, o fígado e o baço. O animal desenvolveu insuficiência renal e foi submetido à eutanásia devido ao prognóstico desfavorável. Macroscopicamente, ambos os rins estavam aumentados de tamanho, com múltiplos nódulos. Histologicamente, a neoplasia era infiltrativa, pobremente delimitada e constituída por células redondas. Duas populações distintas foram observadas: células pequenas com morfologia linfocítica e células grandes e pleomórficas. A maior parte da população de células pequenas, correspondendo a aproximadamente 40% da população celular na neoplasia, foi positiva para CD3. As células neoplásicas foram positivas para CD45, CD11d e granzima B e negativas para CD20, CD79a, PAX5, CD163 e mieloperoxidase. Este é o primeiro caso de linfoma em um cachorro-do-mato-vinagre. Tal relado demonstra a utilidade de vários marcadores de superfície celular para o diagnóstico diferencial de tumores de células redondas nessa espécie.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) comprise a heterogeneous group of malignancies derived from extra-skeletal mesenchymal tissues that may show similar histopathological changes. Histopathologic patterns suggestive of perivascular wall tumors (PWT) and peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNST) have been described. This study investigated the histogenesis in a series of 71 cases of canine STS that showed morphological compatibility with what is described for PWT and PNST. Immunohistochemistry analysis were done to CD56, S100, SMA, Desmin, Von Willebrand Factor, NSE and GFAP. Twenty-one cases (29.6%) showed histopathologic features compatible with PWT, 23 cases (32.4%) with PNST and 27 cases (38.0%) shared both histopathological features. By immunohistochemistry, 59 (83.1%) cases showed positivity only for neural markers and 12 (16.9%) had simultaneous positivity for both neural and muscle markers. PNST was the most prevalent neoplasm and none of the cases were positive for muscle markers only. The histopathologic features were not useful to define the diagnosis of PWT, since most tumors were negative for muscle markers but positive for neural markers. Due to this immunoreactivity and the morphologic features, future studies may propose guidelines for the classification of these neoplasms.(AU)


Sarcoma de tecidos moles (STM) compreende um grupo heterogêneo de neoplasias malignas, derivadas de tecidos extraesqueléticos, que podem apresentar alterações histopatológicas similares. Os padrões histopatológicos sugestivos de tumor de parede perivascular (TPP) e de tumor de bainha de nervo periférico (TBNP) têm sido descritos. Este estudo investigou a histogênese de uma série de 71 STM caninos, que apresentavam compatibilidade morfológica com o que é descrito para TPP e TBNP. A análise imuno-histoquímica foi feita para CD56, S100, SMA, Desmina, Fator Von Willebrand, NSE e GFAP. Vinte e um casos (29,6%) apresentaram características histopatológicas compatíveis com TPP, 23 casos (32,4%) com TBNP e 27 casos (38,0%) apresentaram características histopatológicas de ambos. Na imuno-histoquímica, 59 (83,1%) casos apresentaram positividade somente para marcadores neurais e 12 (16,9%) tiveram positividade simultânea tanto para marcadores neurais como para marcadores musculares. TBNP foi a neoplasia mais prevalente e nenhum dos casos foi positivo para somente para marcadores musculares. As características histopatológicas não foram úteis para definir o diagnóstico de TPP, uma vez que a maioria foi negativa para marcadores musculares, mas positiva para marcadores neurais. Devido a essa imunorreatividade e às características morfológicas, pesquisas futuras poderão propor orientações para a classificação dessas neoplasias.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Several types of tumors affect dogs' skin. Simultaneously occurring neoplasms with different histological patterns might be rarely present in the same animal. This paper describes the occurrence of epitheliotropic cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and melanoma in a dog. The animal had nodular lesions in the abdominal region and serpiginous plaques on the dorsal region of the trunk. Cytology evidenced malignant fusiform cells from the abdominal lesions as well as few round cells from the dorsal. The histopathological examination of the abdominal lesions showed dermis with polygonal to spindle-shaped neoplastic cells. The lesion of the dorsal region evidenced neoplastic round cells with generally distinct cell borders and a moderate amount of eosinophilic cytoplasm. Abdominal lesions were positive for Melan A. Dorsal and forelimb lesions were positive for CD3. This study reports the occurrence of epitheliotropic cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and malignant melanoma in a crossbred Boxer dog and discusses the importance of performing immunohistochemical profile to confirm the phenotype of the tumor.


Diferentes tipos de tumores podem ocorrer na pele de cães. É rara, porém, a ocorrência simultânea de neoplasias com origens histológicas diferentes no mesmo animal. Este trabalho descreve a ocorrência de linfoma cutâneo epiteliotrópico de células T e melanoma em um cão. O animal apresentava lesões nodulares na região abdominal e placas serpiginosas na região dorsal do tronco e membros. A citologia evidenciou células fusiformes malignas das lesões abdominais, bem como algumas células redondas nas dorsais. O exame histopatológico das lesões abdominais mostrou derme com células neoplásicas poligonais a fusiformes. A lesão da região dorsal evidenciou células redondas neoplásicas com citoplasma eosinofílico. Lesões abdominais foram positivas para Melan A. Lesões dorsais e de membros anteriores foram positivas para CD3. Este estudo relata a ocorrência de linfoma cutâneo de células T epitheliotropic e melanoma maligno em um cachorro Boxer, e discute a importância da realização de perfil imuno-histoquímico para confirmar o fenótipo do tumor. A importância do perfil imuno-histoquímico para confirmar o tipo de neoplasia também é discutida.

ABSTRACT

With the purpose of shedding light on some doubts in veterinary oncology, the present article intends to compare the results of histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations of unspecific round cell neoplasia, to realize immunophenotyping of canine lymphoma cases, to establish the T or B origin of neoplastic cells, and to determine the degree of proliferation and apoptosis of lymphomas by immunohistochemistry. Of 11 animals presenting immunohistochemical diagnosis of lymphoma, five had been diagnosed as Lymphoma by HE staining of histopathological slides and six had been classified as unspecific round cell neoplasia. All cases submitted to immunohistochemical examination were T-cell lymphomas. There was a positive correlation between cell proliferation and apoptosis. The comparison among histopathological and immunohistochemical results obtained in the cases examined in the present study suggested that immunohistochemistry is essential for the differentiation of round cell neoplasia.


Com o objetivo de sanar algumas dúvidas na área da oncologia veterinária, o presente artigo pretende comparar os resultados dos exames histopatológicos e imuno-histoquímicos de neoplasias de células redondas inespecíficas, realizar imunofenotipagem dos casos de linfoma canino e determinar o grau de proliferação e apoptose de linfomas. Dos 11 animais que apresentaram diagnóstico imuno-histoquímico de linfoma, cinco foram diagnosticados como linfoma por coloração HE das lâminas histopatológicas e seis foram classificados como neoplasia de células redondas inespecíficas. Todos os casos submetidos ao exame imuno-histoquímico foram de linfomas de células-T. Houve uma correlação positiva entre a proliferação celular e apoptose. A comparação entre os resultados histopatológicos e imuno-histoquímicos obtidos nos casos analisados sugeriu que a imuno-histoquímica é essencial para a diferenciação das neoplasias de células redondas.

ABSTRACT

Envenomations caused by Loxosceles (brown spider) have been reported throughout the world. Clinical signs associated to bites of these spiders involve dermonecrotic lesions and intense local inflammatory response, besides systemic manifestations such as intravascular hemolysis, thrombocytopenia, disseminated intravascular coagulation and acute renal failure. The present study aimed to report and to describe dermonecrotic lesions probably caused by a Loxosceles envenomation in a four year-old poodle female dog, treated at the Dermatology Service of the Veterinary Hospital of the Veterinary Medicine and Animal Husbandry School, São Paulo State University, Botucatu, Brazil. Initially, the animal presented two skin lesions with blackish aspect that evolved into ulcerative crusts. The owner reported the presence of a brown spider near the place where the animal spent most of the time. Histological examination of lesions revealed necrosis of the epidermis extending to adnexa and panniculi, which is compatible with Loxosceles bite reaction. The animal was treated with systemic antibiotic and local curatives. Lesions healed by second intention in two months.(AU)
