First Time

This case report describes for the first time pulmonary blastomycosis in a captive common eland (Taurotragus oryx). The animal has been in captivity for over 14 years and the clinical signs observed before death were non-specific. The carcass was examined grossly and histologically using special stains. There were yellowish, firm and gritty nodules of varying sizes (0.5–2 cm in diameter) on the pleura, in the lung, mediastinal lymph nodes and pericardium. The nodules showed pyogranulomatous inflammation and broad based budding yeast (PAS, Giemsa positive and ZN negative) consistent with Blastomyces dermatitidis. Regular screening of soil and environment including animals in captivity should be encouraged to avert possible spread of the mold in favourable conditions. Public awareness should be improved on fungal diseases.

Gross Examination

Interstitial pneumonia (2/3 of the lungs were affected) and diffusely enlarged bronchial and mediastinal lymph nodes were diagnosed by gross examination of a dead 16-year-old mare. Based on histopathological examination and the detection of acid-fast rods after staining by the Ziehl-Neelsen technique, tuberculosis was suspected. <I>Mycobacterium avium</I> subsp. <I>avium</I> of serotype 2 and IS<I>901</I>+/IS<I>1245</I>+ genotype was isolated from the pulmonary lymphnode after five-week incubation at 37°C. Due to the fact that horses have a naturally high resistance to mycobacterial infections, the high age of the mare most likely contributed to the development of the disease.

A three-year-old female intact albino ferret was presented with clinical signs of panting, hyperpnea, weakness in all four limbs, loss of the swallowing reflex, lockjaw and sudden paleness of the oral mucosa and extremities. An abdominal mass was discovered during palpation. The patient died suddenly after clinical signs were observed. At necropsy, hemoperitoneum was noted in the abdominal cavity and a [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]cm dark red moruloid mass was found in the mesentery of the ileum. Histopathological examination of the mass revealed multiple cavernous structures with significant blood accumulation. Oval to polygonal neoplastic cells with frequent mitotic figures were also noted. Furthermore, neoplastic cells were positively stained with antibodies of CD34 and Factor VIII, and had metastasized to the mesentery lymph nodes. The definitive diagnosis was visceral hemangiosarcoma in a ferret.

Lymph Node Enlargement

Mediastinal lymph node enlargement commonly seen in sarcoidosis, lung cancer, lymphoma and tuberculosis in children’s. Tuberculosis in adult mostly involve parenchyma of lung and very rarely involve mediastinal lymph nodes, here we report a 27-year-old male, non-diabetic, non-hypertensive, non-alcoholic and non-smoker who present with low grade fever and dry cough. Search for the cause of morbidity revealed him to be suffering from mediastinal tuberculosis. He was treated for tuberculosis with ATT.

Histologic Types

Castleman's disease is a benign lymphoid neoplasm first reported as hyperplasia of mediastinal lymph nodes. Some authors referred to the lesions as isolated tumors, described as a variant of Hodgkin's disease with a possibility of a malignant potential and others proposed that the lymphoid masses were of a hamartomatous nature. Three histologic variants and two clinical types of the disease have been described. The disease may occur in almost any area in which lymph nodes are normally found. The most common locations are thorax (63%), abdomen (11%) and axilla (4%). We report two separate histologic types of Castleman's disease which were rare in the literature, mimicking sigmoid colon tumor and Hodgkin lymphoma. The diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of this rare entity is discussed.
