“…In small animals, fistula frequently occurs in the lumbar, paralumbar, and flank areas (6,16,19). Cases of fistula connection between kidney and retroperitoneal skin have been reported in dogs but without foreign body association (20,24). As described previously, in humans and dogs, fistula may affect kidney through suppurative lesion which requires surgical resection of the affected kidney for complete resolution (2,15,20,24).…”

“…The terms fistula and draining tract are used to explain abnormal passages between internal organs or cavities, or leading from an organ or cavity to the skin (4,19,20). The differential diagnosis of fistula in dogs includes bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections, as well as neoplastic changes, foreign bodies, and inflammatory and systemic conditions (11,24).…”

Retroperitoneal Suppurative Fistula Caused by Remnant Suture Material in a Poodle Dog

An eight-year-old, 3.4 kg, spayed female poodle dog was referred to Gyeongsang National University Animal Medical Center with obstinate bilateral retroperitoneal subcutaneous abscess. The medical history revealed ovariohysterectomy (OHE), lipoma, and mammary gland tumor excision performed two years ago. The dog presented with left retroperitoneal subcutaneous abscess discharge five months back and was treated by abscess drainage and antibiotics in a local veterinary hospital, but a relapse was reported on discontinuing antibiotics. On physical examination, the dog was febrile (40°C) and both retroperitoneal masses showed typical inflammatory reaction and purulent discharge. On serum chemistry analysis, hyperproteinemia, hyperglobulinemia, and elevated levels of C-reactive protein were observed. Cytologic examination showed degenerative neutrophils and phagocytic macrophages. Radiological examination revealed encapsulated hypoechoic subcutaneous masses in bilateral abdominal flank and the left flank mass was connected with the caudal pole of left kidney through fistula. Based on the diagnostic examination, exploratory celiotomy was recommended and left nephrectomy, and resection of bilateral masses were performed. During procedure, fistula between caudal pole of left kidney and left subcutaneous abscess was detected and suture material was identified. Resected tissue was histologically examined and diagnosed as suppurative abscess caused by the suture material. This case report describes chronic suppurative foreign body reaction including caudal pole of left kidney and bilateral retroperitoneal subcutaneous masses induced by the suture material used in OHE two years ago and the necessity of computed tomography examination to identify character of mass and extent of surgical resection.

This report describes the case of spontaneous nephro-cutaneous fistula with pyonephrosis due to renal calculi and obstructive nephropathy without renal surgery or trauma history in two dogs. A five-year-old, female, Shih-tzu and a seven-year-old, female, Maltese were presented with erythematous swelling, and subcutaneous abscess formation in their flanks. Complementary exams were performed and ultrasonography revealed marked enlargement of the kidneys with hyperechoic purulent debris filling, subcutaneous abscesses and the formation of draining sinus tracts between renal abscesses and subcutaneous tissue. At surgery, kidneys were grossly dilated and contained purulent material, which was visible in the draining sinus tract in the abdominal wall. Thus, a nephrectomy was performed. The dogs recovered uneventfully and three months later there were no further specific problems.

Zusammenfassung: Gegenstand und Ziel: Beschreibung der Diagnostik und Therapie eines Nierenabszesses bei einer Katze. Material und Methoden: Fallbericht einer neun Monate alten Europäischen Kurzhaarkatze, die mit einer Fistel an der linken Flanke vorgestellt wird. Ergebnisse: Etwa drei Monate nach einem Hundebiss in die Bauchregion wird die Katze mit einer faustgroßen Umfangsvermehrung im Abdomen vorgestellt, die in der bildgebenden Diagnostik (Röntgen und Ultraschall) als Nierenabszess diagnostiziert wird. Dabei ist die dopplersonographisch erfasste Gefäßarchitektur für die Organzuordnung von großer Bedeutung. Aufgrund der hochgradigen Zerstörung des Parenchyms muss die linke Niere entfernt werden. Die Katze wird mit gutem Allgemeinbefinden entlassen und weist auch sechs Monate nach der Operation ein ungestörtes Allgemeinbefinden auf. Schlussfolgerung: Bei hochgradig veränderten Parenchymen kann die Organzuordnung durch die Dopplersonographie ermöglicht werden. Die Nephrektomie vermag als Therapie eines Nierenabszesses in der Tiermedizin durchaus sinnvoll erscheinen, auch wenn in der Humanmedizin das Bestreben nach weniger invasiven Methoden im Vordergrund steht. Für die Therapieentscheidung spielt der Grad der Organzerstörung eine erhebliche Rolle.
