Abstract:
A 5 yr old castrated male domestic longhair was examined because of left-sided facial swelling and epistaxis. Head computed tomography with contrast identified a mass within the left nasal cavity and multifocal regions of nasal bone osteolysis. Histopathology of nasal mass biopsies and cytology of the facial swelling revealed pyogranulomatous inflammation due to Blastomyces dermatitidis. The cat experienced resolution of clinical signs following 8 mo of treatment with itraconazole. Although rare, clinicians should include blastomycosis on the differential diagnoses list of infectious causes for feline nasal disease if within an endemic area.
摘要:
由于左侧面部肿胀和鼻出血,检查了5岁的cast割男性家用长毛。带有对比的头部计算机断层扫描确定了左鼻腔内的肿块和鼻骨骨溶解的多焦点区域。鼻腔肿块活检的组织病理学和面部肿胀的细胞学检查显示,由于皮肤芽胞杆菌引起的脓性肉芽肿性炎症。在用伊曲康唑治疗8个月后,猫的临床症状消退。虽然罕见,如果在流行区,临床医生应将芽生菌病列入猫鼻病的鉴别诊断清单。
