Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP) is a rare condition which consists of reactive fibrous tissue proliferation with mixed inflammatory infiltration within the abdominal cavity. The present report describes an additional case of SEP affecting a mixed-breed immature female dog presented with persistent vomiting, progressive weight loss, and ascites. Abdominal radiographic and ultrasonographic findings suggested abdominal neoformation resulting in gastric displacement, in addition ascitic fluid was evaluated and cytology showed large numbers of inflammatory effusion. An exploratory laparotomy was performed and were detected multiple thick peritoneal adhesions which restricted mobility of abdominal viscera. Biopsy specimens of these lesions were submitted for histopathological examination. Microscopically, the external serous surfaces of the abdominal organs were covered with dense fibrous connective tissue characterized by intense mature collagen deposition and moderate angiogenesis. The animal was euthanized due to poor prognosis and sent for necropsy. The clinical, imaging, gross and microscopic findings were compatible with SEP. Keywords: Neoformation; intestinal obstruction; peritoneal adhesions, chronic inflammation.

Since I figured out that anatomic pathology is communication, I got interested in this subject and If I'am assuming myself as a communicator, then, I logically need to study and understand it. When I looked for this, Jakobson's explanation was the most elegant, eloquent and simplest explanation I've found. If you doubt me, just search for this in youtube, there are a lot of animated videos about it. So, Jakobson divides communication in six crucial points: adresser, message, addressee, context, code and channel. The adresser is the person who will write and send the message to the addressee, the receptor, the person who will read it. The context is what the message is about and the code is the language used. Finally, the channel is the physical channel, a way where the message is write, it may be a paper or a video or any other. Keep in mind that those points are not always isolated from each other, they are frequently overlapped, and this is just a didactic organization, that is much more easily to understand in a fluxogram.

We describe here hematological and biochemical findings in a cow with metastatic cholangiocarcinoma. On physical examination, apathy with congested mucous membranes, tachycardia and enlarged abdomen; hypoperistalsis in rumen, abomasum and intestines. In hematological examination, icteric plasma with leukocytosis by neutrophilia with regenerative left shift and inversion of the proportion between lymphocytes and segmented neutrophils, and hypofibrinemia. In serum biochemistry: hyperproteinemia, hypoalbuminemia, hyperglobulinemia, low albumin/globulin ratio and high levels of aspartate aminotransferase, gamma-glutamyltransferase. The cow died and in necropsy was observed a severe and diffuse increase in volume predominantly on the hepatic right lobe and moderate increase of volume in mesenteric lymph nodes. Which was diagnosed microscopically as a cholangiocarcinoma, characterized by arrangements in irregular and coalescent ducts. In conclusion, cholangiocarcinoma may cause important hematological and biochemical changes in cattle.

Adenosquamous carcinoma is characterized by the simultaneous presence of squamous and glandular components. This article reports a case of adenosquamous carcinoma in the oral mucosa in a dog. Microscopically, the tumour revealed an infiltrative epithelial proliferation with a tubular pattern and areas of squamous differentiation. In the lumina of the tubules, there were eosinophilic material (mucin). The alcian blue staining showed positive intraluminal material and the cytoplasm of neoplastic cells were immunoreactive for cytokeratin, supporting the diagnosis of adenosquamous carcinoma. The cells exhibited reduced or negative immunoreactivity for E-cadherin, which could be associated with more aggressive tumour behaviour and worse prognosis.

Clinical History: Multiple fragments of various organs from the necropsy of an adult sloth (Choloepus hoffmani) were received. The animal, prior to its death, had presented decay and poor general body condition, which is why it was euthanized. Necropsy Findings: According to the referring veterinarian, at necropsy, irregular and locally extensive hard yellowish lesions, were observed in the subcutaneous tissue of the thorax and abdomen. Similar lesions were observed in the tunica media of the aorta.

Bacillary hemoglobinuria (BH) is a histotoxic infection caused by Clostridium haemolyticum that affects mostly cattle parasitized with trematodes. The aim of present study was to describe an atypical case of BH in a cow without access to flooded areas and without parasitism by Fasciola hepatica. After eight days of sternal decubitus and apathy, a Nellore cow was euthanized and necropsied. During postmortem examination, mild jaundice, black urine and multifocal lesions in the liver were observed. Histopathology revealed multifocal coagulation foci of necrosis in liver and basophilic bacillary structures, which were confirmed as C. haemolyticum by bacterial isolation, PCR and sequencing techniques. This is the first description of BH in cattle in Minas Gerais state, Brazil and highlight the need for of inclusion of BH as differential diagnosis even in animals not parasitized by trematodes.

Canine facial eosinophilic furunculosis (FEF) is a hyperacute dermatopathy especially of the nasal bridge of dogs and is probably associated with type I hypersensitivity secondary to arthropod bites. The aim of this study is to report on a FEF case in a four-year-old female free-roaming mixed-breed dog showing papules on the nasal bridge that evolved to an ulcerated plaque. No other clinical, hematological, or biochemical alterations were detected. Cytology revealed eosinophilic and neutrophilic inflammation associated with bacterial infection. Punch biopsies were obtained for histopathological and microbiological analysis. Histopathology revealed marked, acute, multifocal to coalescent granulomatous eosinophilic furunculosis, and mild, acute, multifocal eosinophilic folliculitis. Microbiology revealed growth of coagulase-positive Staphylococcus sp. Clinical and histopathological findings were suggestive of facial eosinophilic folliculitis and furunculosis. Complete remission of the lesions was obtained after treatment. This condition is hyperacute, progressive, with a papular and erosive to ulcerative pattern, good prognosis, and its development is linked to arthropod bites. Furthermore, anti-inflammatory therapy is effective in treating the disease.

Clinical History: The carcasses of seven 30-month-old female cows slaughtered in a local abattoir for meat production were totally condemned during meat inspection due to disseminated gross abnormalities. Gross Findings: On internal examination, several skeletal muscles (pectoralis superficialis and profundus, transversus abdominis, diaphragm, obliquus internus abdominis, and rectus abdominis) and random areas of the peritoneal cavity had multifocal to coalescing nodules (1-3 cm in diameter). The nodules were firmly adhered (fibrous adherences) to the adjacent tissues and surface of portions of the forestomach serosa and splenic capsule. On the cut surface of the nodules, there was a central accumulation of a friable and yellow exudate surrounded by a fibrous capsule. No external lesions were seen in any of the cows.
