AbstractLeiomyoma is a benign tumour, originating from smooth muscles cells. This tumor commonly involves the uterus, vagina, stomach, intestine, urinary bladder and other organs. Only a few cases of splenic leiomyoma in dogs have been reported in the available literature. Much more frequently malignant leiomyosarcoma was found. The aim of this study was to compile rare clinical case of splenic leiomyoma in dog, which developed with no clinical signs and no abnormalities in blood findings. A 14-year-old, spayed bitch was examined with ultrasonography, where lesions on the spleen were identified. Based on the clinical findings (blood test in norm, no metastases in X-ray examination) surgical removal of spleen was recommended. Two fragments of tumors were prepare for histopathological examination. The lesion was described as smooth muscle benign tumor, therefore a diagnosis of leiomyoma was made. About a year after splenectomy no signs of metastases were present in a ultrasound and X-ray examinations. This report indicates the necessity of taking the occurrence of benign lesions in the spleen into account. Splenectomy based on the presence of tumor lesion should be associated with histopathological examination to identify the nature of change. This clinical case, despite a marked morphological lesion shown during intraoperative examination, was benign with successful prognosis.

Abstract CASE DESCRIPTION A 5.5-year-old 0.929-kg spayed female domestic ferret (Mustela putorius furo) underwent serial abdominal ultrasonographic and clinicopathologic examinations after multiple renal cysts were detected bilaterally during a routine examination. CLINICAL FINDINGS The ferret was apparently healthy at the start of the monitoring period and had no clinical signs for > 20 months. Four months after the initial examination, the largest cyst became increasingly mineralized; 17 months after detection, it had increased in size and become amorphous, and the ferret’s plasma BUN concentration was mildly high. Within 21 months after the first visit, a nodule was detectable, and hydronephrosis developed in the kidney with the largest cyst. Findings for fine-needle aspirates from the nodule were consistent with renal carcinoma. TREATMENT AND OUTCOME Contrast-enhanced CT revealed severe unilateral nephromegaly with no contrast uptake in the affected ureter. Following surgical removal of the affected kidney, histologic examination identified renal adenocarcinoma replacing the entire renal cortex and medulla. The ferret was euthanized postoperatively because of declining condition. On necropsy, metastasis to a mesenteric lymph node was identified; comorbidities included 2 other neoplasms and acute, severe injury of the contralateral kidney. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Neoplastic transformation of a renal cyst was suspected in the ferret of this report on the basis of observed ultrasonographic changes over time and extensive infiltration of the neoplasm throughout the affected kidney. Renal cysts are linked to renal neoplasia in other species, and the findings for this patient supported the need for periodic monitoring of renal cysts in ferrets.

Purpose: To determine the sensitivity and specificity of X-ray mammography and of MR imaging in 238 consecutively operated breasts, and to correlate the findings to histopathological diagnosis. Material and Methods: Over 15 months, 220 patients scheduled for breast surgery were examined consecutively, before surgery, by means of both mammography and MR imaging. of the 220 patients, 18 underwent bilateral breast surgery. The entire breast was examined by means of T1-weighted transversal images using a 3D fast low-angle shot (FLASH) sequence. One pre— and 2 post-contrast scans were performed. Each breast was examined by means of mammography and 3 views were applied as routine. All palpable and mammographically suspect lesions were examined on additional images as microfocus magnification or spot compression. The two methods were evaluated independently of each other. Results: In total, 145 malignant and 93 benign lesions were found at histopathological examination. The sensitivity of mammography was 89% and MR imaging 92%. The specificity was 72% in both methods. When the results of the 2 methods were combined, a sensitivity of 99% and a specificity of 55% was achieved. Conclusion: Mammography and MR imaging seemed to complement each other to produce a high sensitivity. Unfortunately it is impossible at present to supplement mammography with MR imaging in each patient as a routine owing to the current technical and financial limitations.

It grows slowly and has an asymptomatic manifestation. During tumour enlargement, depending on localisation, clinical symptoms appear because of the tumour pressure to the surrounding tissues. Mostly neurilemomas appear in extremities of patients aged 30–50 years. N. vagus neurilemoma is a very rare disease. The diagnosis is made using radiology. The treatment is surgical removal. We present a clinical case of intrathoracal n. vagus neurilemoma in a 39-year-old woman. The diagnosis was made using radiological findings (chest X-ray, chest CT, and the MRI of the mediastinum). The removal of the tumour was made by VATS. The diagnosis was proved morphologically. After 8 days, the patient was discharged from the hospital.Key words: neurilemoma, vagal nerve, operation

The aim: The research was to evaluate the effectiveness of acute traumatic pulpitis treatment with the use of bioceramics according to the results of a clinical study. Materials and methods: Acute traumatic pulpitis of 25 teeth in 25 patients aged 18-25 years were treated by biological direct pulp capping. In 13 patients of the main group, bioceramics was placed on the exposed pulp, and in 12 patients of the control group, calcium hydroxide paste was applied on the exposed pulp. Treatment effectiveness was evaluated according to the following criteria: the absence of clinical signs of pulpal inflammation, on X-ray – signs of dentinal bridge formation, the absence of periapical changes. Results: The use of bioceramic material in patients of the main group provided a positive dynamic of treatment in 12 teeth. The need for re-treatment was diagnosed only in 1 clinical case (7.7%), in the control group – in 4 cases (33.3%). Conclusions: Pulpitis treatment with the use of bioceramics provides preserving the functional properties of pulp, creation of a calcified barrier – dentin bridge and prevents the periodontal complications compared to the pulp capping with a material based on calcium hydroxide. The effectiveness of treatment in the main group was 92.3%, in the control – 66.7%.

This work aims to report the case of a canine that survived erlichiosis with severe consequences of the disease, such as meningitis, hind limb paresis, circle walking, cerebrovascular accident. The onset of paresis was sudden, soon after a hygienic grooming. X-ray examinations ruled out suspected trauma. A cerebrovascular accident is suspected due to vasculitis found by electrocardiogram examination. Traditional treatment for doxycycline-based erlichiosis (200 mg) 1 comp. 2 x day for 24 days was recommended; anti-inflammatory drug Prednisone - IDB for 15 days, antianemic Erythros - 1 comp./day, Leucogen (H) 5 mL (2 x day) immunomodulator for platelet elevation and a peripheral and cerebral vasodilator Revimax - 1 comp./ day were the drugs of choice. The case seems to suggest that the bacterium, through the hematogenous route, reaches the intervetbral discs, paralyzing the pelvic limbs, bladder, anal sphincter and tail, and may even cause neurological disorders and even lead to death of the animal. Since paresis and stroke, as well as hydrocephalus and meningitis, clinical signs were much more atypical and are currently becoming more frequent.

Clinical Signs And Symptoms

Cranial fasciitis (CF) is a rare benign lesion of the skull. Due to the rarity of this disease, prospective studies of it have not been conducted. The first description dedicated of the case of CF was in 1980. Later were descriptions of only clinical cases of observation and treatment of children with this pathology. For these reasons, questions regarding true incidence, genetic risk factors, prognosis and long-term still unanswered. Clinically, CF is represented by a dense, painless, growing mass on the scalp. Given the rarity of the occurrence of CF in differential diagnosis, it is usually not considered. In addition, there are no pathognomonic clinical signs and symptoms, and changes on MRI are often non-specific. Treatment involves removal of the tumor mass, after which a histopathological examination confirms the diagnosis of CF. As a rule, a good result is observed with complete resection, however, in this case it has to necessary to perform auto-bone grafting of the skull bone defect. CF is a rare and underexplored fibroproliferative disease. Because of its locally invasive nature and nonspecific manifestations of CF, it is often difficult to distinguish from malignant neoplasms and infections. Complete surgical removal is the best choice to make diagnosis and successful treatment. Parents gave their consent to use information about the child in the article.

Two years old male Green Iguana (Iguana iguana) weighing 1.3 kilograms presented with a swelling mass in the abdomen. Clinical signs, palpation and radiography images indicated urolith in the urinary bladder. The mass was radiopaque and had a width of 37 mm and a length of 41 mm. Clinical findings, examination and radio-imaging confirmed urolithiasis in the urinary bladder. Coeliotomy and cystotomy were performed to remove the urolith. Two days after surgery, the iguana regained its appetite and normal urate secretion was observed. Prognosis is good when surgery is performed on a healthy animal.
