“…Cutaneous xanthomas are reported in the veterinary literature, most frequently in birds, rarely in cats, and very rarely in dogs (13). Cutaneous xanthomas have been reported in dogs with diabetes mellitus and those given high-cholesterol diets (1,4). The cutaneous lesions of xanthomas are represented by multiple white-to-yellow papules, nodules, and plaques with erythematous borders (1,6).…”

“…The presumptive diagnosis of the xanthomas requires clinical presentation and the existence of macrophages with foamy cytoplasm on a cytological examination of the lesions (1,4). Foam cells develop from macrophages due to the progressive intracellular deposition of lipids taken up by particular receptors or by the process of phagocytosis (15,17).…”

A 2-year-old, 12.5 kg, castrated male, mixed-breed dog was presented with a 1-year history of pruritus and progressive alopecia. On physical examination, no remarkable findings were detected including body condition score (5/9). A dermatological examination of the dog revealed generalized erythema, papules or plaques, especially on the face, auricle, dorsum, and shoulder. A fine-needle aspiration of the dorsum and face lesions revealed various numbers of macrophages with foamy cytoplasm and multinucleated giant cells. A bacterial culture test showed the growth of Staphylococcus pseudintermedius. A complete blood cell count was unremarkable and biochemical abnormalities included hyperglobulinemia (4.8 g/dL, reference interval 2.5-4.5 g/dL), mild hypertriglyceridemia (277 mg/dL, reference interval 10-100 mg/dL) and mild hypercholesterolemia (383 mg/dL, reference interval 110-320 mg/dL). Additional diagnostic tests were performed to identify the underlying cause of hyperlipidemia. Canine pancreatic lipase immunoreactivity (<50 ng/mL, reference interval 0-200 ng/mL) and total T4 (1.4 µg/dL, reference interval 1.1-5.6 µg/dL) were within the reference intervals. For a definitive diagnosis, skin biopsy specimen was collected from the papular lesions on the dorsum by using a 4 mm biopsy punch. A histopathological examination revealed numerous large macrophages with abundant foamy cytoplasm in the dermis. The foamy macrophages were located diffusely between the collagen fibers. Extracellular amorphous lipid deposits were also presented in the dermal tissue. A definitive diagnosis of cutaneous xanthoma was made based on clinical signs and cytological and histopathological results.

Introducción. Se conoce como demodex al ácaro que vive en la piel de los mamíferos, pero cuando el sistema inmune se ve afectado la población del ácaro aumenta provocando demodicosis, siendo esta una patología dermatológica común, se da por la excesiva proliferación del ácaro, el sistema inmunitario de los perros juego un rol imprescindible frente al equilibrio de la población del ácaro cuando los animales están sanos y en el desarrollo de esta enfermedad cuando el animal está enfermo, lo que lleva a un estrés oxidativo. Objetivo. La presente revisión bibliográfica ayudara a conocer los datos actuales sobre generalidades del ácaro forma de propagación, aspectos clínicos, patología, diagnósticos y tratamientos actualizados para una terapia adecuada. Metodología. Esta revisión bibliográfica se hizo mediante exploración minuciosa en diferentes revistas, tesis, bases de datos como Scielo, Google Académico, Mendeley, ResearchGate, Pubmed y libros, por medio de las siguientes palabras claves “demodicosis”, “ácaro”, “demodex canis” y “parásito”. Conclusiones. La demodicosis canina es una patología parasitaria que afecta a perros de cualquier edad, aunque no es contagiosa se puede transmitir de madre a cachorros en el amamantamiento, es muy importante cuidar a las mascotas manteniéndolas sanas, para que tengan un correcto funcionamiento del sistema inmunitario. Área de estudio general: Medicina Veterinaria. Área de estudio específica: Dermatología. Tipo de estudio: Revisión Bibliográfica.
