Sex Cord Stromal Tumor

A 12-year-old, spayed Yorkshire Terrier dog with a history of progressive abdominal distension was diagnosed with an ovarian sex-cord stromal tumor. Microscopically, the residual ovarian tissue sample was composed of 2 different tumor cell populations: a luteal-like cell and Sertoli cell components. These cells were notably immunopositive for vimentin, inhibin-α and neuron-specific enolase (NSE). On the basis of all findings, the tumor was diagnosed as luteoma and Sertoli cell tumor of the ovary developing from the ovarian remnant tissue.

Sex Cord Stromal Tumor

A 12-year-old female with developmental delay/mental retardation and a family history of gynecologic cancers presented with nonspecific abdominal complaints and was found to have a 4.5-kg, 25- x 23- x 15-cm pelvic mass with solid and cystic components and associated retro-peritoneal and mesenteric lymphadenopathy. Laboratory studies revealed increased serum levels of CA-125 and inhibin B. Histologically, the tumor exhibited several different morphologic appearances including adult granulosa cell tumor, juvenile granulosa cell tumor (with areas of marked atypia), and Sertoli cell tumor. Immunohistochemically, the tumor was positive for calretinin, MIC-2 (CD99), S100 protein, PGP 9.5, and neuron-specific enolase. Electron microscopy of the Sertoli cell tumor-like areas showed Charcot-Bottcher filaments, a distinguishing feature of Sertoli cells. Together, these findings supported a diagnosis of mixed sex cord-stromal tumor including granulosa cell tumor of adult and juvenile types and intermediate- to high-grade Sertoli cell tumor, with large areas of markedly atypical sex cord-stromal tumor.

Sex Cord Stromal Tumor

Leydig-Sertoli cell tumors are rare, with only few cases reported in the literature. We herein present a 41-year-old male who underwent a right orchiectomy for a testicular tumor at the age of 34. Seven years later, he presented at our institution with a large retroperitoneal mass encasing the abdominal great vessels. The patient underwent en-bloc resection of the mass and concomitant infrarrenal aorta and inferior vena cava reconstruction. Pathology report revealed a Leydig-Sertoli cell sex cord-stromal tumor. The patient recovered well from the surgery and he was discharged home in stable condition. To our knowledge this is the first report of a Leydig-Sertoli cell sex cord-stromal tumor with late retroperitoneal metastasis treated by en-bloc resection and vascular reconstruction of the abdominal great vessels.

An eight-year-old castrated female feline was referred for necropsy with a history of apathy, inappetence, abdominal distension, hypersensitivity to abdominal palpation, and evidence of abdominal neoplasms on ultrasound. Macroscopically, multifocal to coalescent, yellowish-white, firm and infiltrative nodules were observed on the surface of the parietal peritonium and in abdominal and thoracic organs. Microscopic characteristics of the neoplasm suggested a neuroendocrine origin, but did not allow a definitive diagnosis and determination of the origin. Immunohistochemistry revealed that neoplastic cells expressed vimentin, CD56, neuron specific enolase, and PGP 9.5 and were negative for biogenic amines and hormonal peptides. Based on anatomopathological and immunohistochemical findings, diagnosis of metastatic non-functional neuroendocrine tumor was confirmed.

Background: Ascites is one of the most important clinical syndromes, caused by multiple organ disorders, characterized by abdominal distension with accumulation of fluid of various colors and consistencies depending on the etiology that are encountered commonly in canine practice worldwide. Although it has been reported from different countries including India but it has not yet been documented from Bangladesh. Objectives: To evaluate the successful therapeutic management of a clinical case of ascites in dog supported with its brief review for its appropriate application Materials and Methods: A female Spitz dog two and half years old brought for treatment with the history of abdominal distension on 1st November 2009. Clinical examination, abdominocentesis and laboratory examination of ascitic fluid were used for the diagnosis of ascites in dog. Results: Clinical examination revealed dyspnea, discomfort, lethargy, weakness, pale mucous membrane, normal rectal temperature 103.2 0F and distended abdomen with fluid thrill on palpation. Examination of ascitic fluid revealed clear white fluid (pure transudate) which is mainly hepatic origin resulting portal hypertension and hypoproteinaemia. Treatment with restricted sodium diet, antibiotic (amoxicillin), diuretic (furosemide; Lasix, Sanofi Aventis) and vitamin B-complex and C- vitamin supplement with regular monitoring assisted in successful recovery. The recovered dog survived for next five years up to 2014 and then died due to other reasons. Conclusions: This clinical case record on canine ascites with successful treatment along with review especially on the methods of diagnosis and cause-wise treatment would certainly help the clinician for proper management of the clinical cases of canine ascites.

Urachal Abscess

A 6-month-old crossbred of a Holstein and Japanese Black heifer calf weighing 95 kg presented with a history of intermittent abdominal distension and failure to thrive. The physical examination identified a pinging sound over the dorsal left flank. The abdominal radiography showed a huge gas-filled mass. The intravenous urography revealed no communication between the mass and the urinary bladder. Although the visual examination and palpation of the umbilicus did not reveal visible abnormalities, an umbilical disease was suspected because the animal exhibited poor growth, depression, and a hunched back posture. When the eschar adhering to the centre of the umbilicus was removed, the presence of a fistulous tract was revealed. The umbilical ultrasound examination revealed an intra-abdominal abscess and the fistulography demonstrated that the abscess communicated with the umbilicus. The abscess, compressing into the rumen, was observed by computed tomography. From these images, it was diagnosed as an umbilical cord remnant abscess and a definitive diagnosis of a urachal abscess was obtained by open abdominal surgery and the subsequent removal of the mass. The calf was discharged from the university hospital on day 14 after the operation. This case shows that a urachal abscess should be considered when a pinging sound is present, even if the animal exhibits no swelling or pain of the umbilicus.

Abstract Background To report the occurrence of tophaceous gout in the cervical spine and to review the literature on spinal gout. Case presentation This report details the occurrence of a large and clinically significant finding of tophaceous gout in the atlantoaxial joint of the cervical spine in an 82-year-old Caucasian man with a 40-year history of crystal-proven gout and a 3-month history of new-onset progressive myelopathy. The patient's American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism (ACR/EULAR) criteria score was 15.0. Conclusion Spinal gout is more common than previously thought, and it should be considered in patients who present with symptoms of myelopathy. Diagnosis can be made without a tissue sample of the affected joint(s) with tools like the ACR/EULAR criteria and the use of the “diagnostic clinical rule” for determining the likelihood of gout. Early conservative management with neck immobilization and medical management can avoid the need for surgical intervention.
