Abstract

2.5 yaşlı erkek, English Cocker Spaniel ırkı bir köpek sol eksenli kendi etrafında dönme, vokalizasyonda artış, vestibular ataksi semptomları ile kliniğimize başvurdu. Hastanın sağlık geçmişinde sol arka ekstremitenin malign tümör kaynaklı ampute edildiği, tümör tipinin patoloji raporu ile hemanjiyosarkom olarak doğrulandığı bilgisi alındı. Yapılan fiziksel, nörolojik ve radyografik muayeneler sonucunda hastada sol arka ekstremite primer kökenli, intrakraniyal tümör metastazından şüphelenildi. Hastadan alınan beyin omurilik sıvısının yapılan incelemelerinde anormal bulguya rastlanılmadı. Tedavinin planlanması için gereken ileri görüntüleme teknikleri (bilgisayarlı tomografi ve manyetik rezonans görüntüleme) ve biyopsi işlemleri hasta sahibi tarafından reddedildi ve 4 gün sonra hasta ex oldu. Hastanın makroskobik nekropsi bulgularında başta beyin olmak üzere, dalak, karaciğer, diyafram ve akciğerde değişken boyutlarda kitlesel odaklar olduğu görüldü. Yapılan histopatolojik incelemede beyinde 0.2.x0.1 cm boyularında hemanjiosarkom metastazı görüldü. Elde edilen post-mortem bulgular klinik bulgular ile eşleşmektedir. Cocker spaniel ırkı bir köpekte hemanjiyosarkomun beyin metastazının görülmesi, olgumuzun ender olduğunu göstermektedir.

Hemangiosarcoma with brain metastasis in a cocker spaniel in Türkiye

Abstract

A 2.5 years old male English Cocker Spaniel dog was admitted to our clinic with symptoms of left axis circling, increased vocalization and vestibular ataxia. The patient's medical history revealed that the left hind limb was amputated due to a malignant tumor and the tumor type was confirmed as hemangiosarcoma by pathology report. As a result of physical, neurological and radiographic examinations, intracranial tumor metastasis of primary origin in the left hind limb was suspected. No abnormal findings were found in the cerebrospinal fluid obtained from the patient. Advanced imaging techniques (computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging) and biopsy procedures required for treatment planning were refused by the owner and the patient died 4 days later. Macroscopic necropsy findings revealed mass foci of varying sizes in the brain, spleen, liver, diaphragm and lung. Histopathologic examination revealed hemangiosarcoma metastasis of 0.2.x0.1 cm in the brain. The post-mortem findings were consistent with the clinical findings. Brain metastasis of hemangiosarcoma in a cocker spaniel dog shows that our case is rare.
