Nodular granulomatous glossitis as the sole clinical sign in canine leishmaniosis

Abstract: A 5.5-year-old, intact male Rottweiler dog was admitted with a history of multifocal nodular tongue lesions which progressively deteriorated during the previous year. Physical examination revealed several reddish nodules with central depression on the surface of the tongue in an otherwise healthy dog. Clinicopathologic abnormalities included eosinophilia and hyperproteinemia. Lingual nodule cytopathology, histopathology, and immunohistochemistry revealed Leishmania spp. amastigotes and a severe granulomatous g… Show more

“…45 49 Interestingly cases without gastrointestinal signs have been shown to have gross endoscopic gastrointestinal tract inflammation, granulomatous changes on histopathology and even Leishmania amastigotes present. 50 Oral lesions including single 32 or multiple [25][26][27] tongue nodules, multiple papules, 28 and ulcers of the lingual mucosa 24 29 have been described in a few cases of leishmaniosis, but these are rare. In most of the cases with lingual lesions, patients also had more classical clinical signs of systemic disease; however, they have been reported as a sole presenting clinical sign.…”

“…A presença de lesões orais na LVC é considerada rara, e poucos trabalhos descrevem tal apresentação na literatura (Lamouthe e Poujade, 2002;Foglia Manzillo et al, 2005;Parpaglia et al, 2007;Foglia Manzillo et al, 2009;Viegas et al, 2012;Tangalidi et al, 2016). Nos escassos relatos dessa forma clínica atípica da LVC, as lesões foram caracterizadas por únicos ou múltiplos nódulos em toda a superfície da língua, além de úlceras e pápulas, corroborando os achados do presente caso (Lamouthe e Poujade, 2002;Foglia Manzillo et al, 2005;Parpaglia et al, 2007;Foglia Manzillo et al, 2009;Viegas et al, 2012;Tangalidi et al, 2016). De modo geral, nos casos de LVC que envolvem lesões na cavidade oral, também há manifestação de sinais em outros órgãos ou sistemas (Parpaglia et al, 2007;Foglia Manzillo et al, 2009;Viegas et al, 2012).…”

Entretanto, já foi descrito um caso em que o único sinal clínico apresentado pelo animal acometido por LVC equivaleu a lesões linguais (Tangalidi et al, 2016), assim como observado no cão em discussão. O cão relatado não exibia sinais clássicos para a LVC, o que tornou os exames citológico e histopatológico das lesões orais essenciais para o direcionamento do diagnóstico e a confirmação da presença do protozoário.…”
