In this report, macroscobical and microscobical findings of an infrequent sarcocystosis, located in the Musculus cremaster, and its possible effects on the fertility by external genital organs in a bull were described. The case was detected in a slaughtered bull in a slaughterhouse. During inspection, thickened M. cremaster drew attention in a bull. In addition, slightly increased testes and epididymides, and inconsiderable proliferative lesions on the caput epididymides were detected. In microscobical examination, Sarcocystis cysts in the cremaster muscle, spermiostasis and extravasation of spermatozoa in the epididymides, and weak intratubular orchitis in the testes were observed.
Oropharyngeal tumors between 1977 to 2005 at dog and cats: a retrospective studySummary: The aim of the study was to evaluate dog (80 cases) and cat's (13 cases) oropharyngeal biopsy/operation materials, which were sent as tumor suspicion from Ankara University Veterinary Faculty Clinics and Private Clinics to Pathology Department between the years of 1977 to 2005. These tumors were frequently seen in dogs between 6-10 years, at the Terrier, Mongrel, Boxer, Shepherds breeds (Kangal and German), while cats were between 1-5 years, at the Tekir, Mongrel and Siamese breeds. Most of the dog tumors were diagnosed as epulides and papillomas (26.3%) and mostly affected regions were the gingiva (21.3%), submandibular area (17.5%) and lips (15%). Cat tumors were diagnosed as epulides (23.1%), plasmacytomas (15.4%) and other tumors (61.5%) and they were frequently located at the submandibular area (38.5%), gingiva (30.8%) and palate (23.1%).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
