Ein malignes Pilomatrixom im Bereich der Tonsille eines Hundes

Zusammenfassung

Dieser Fall beschreibt einen 12 Jahre alten männlichen West Highland White Terrier, der aufgrund von Reverse Sneezing und einer oralen Dysphagie in der Tierklinik vorgestellt wurde. In der endoskopischen Untersuchung konnte eine Umfangsvermehrung der rechten Tonsille dargestellt werden. Histologisch wurde ein malignes Pilomatrixom diagnostiziert. Es erfolgte eine chirurgische Zytoreduktion und eine anschließende Bestrahlungstherapie. Der Hund war 154 Tage symptomfrei und bei gutem Allgemeinbefinden. Aufgrund von erneuten klinischen Anzeichen und dem Verdacht einer symptomatischen Metastasierungen in den mandibulären Lymphknoten wurde der Hund 261 Tage nach der Diagnosestellung euthanasiert. Dies ist der erste Fallbericht eines malignen Pilomatrixom der Tonsille mit zytoreduktiver Chirurgie und adjuvanter Strahlentherapie.

Abstract

This case report discusses a 12-year-old West Highland White Terrier presented to the veterinary clinic with reverse sneezing and oral dysphagia. The endoscopic examination of the upper respiratory tract revealed a mass in the area of the right tonsil. Histologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of a malignant pilomatrixoma. The dog underwent surgical cytoreduction, followed by radiation therapy. After the treatment, the dog was free of clinical signs for 154 days and in good general condition. Due to recurrence of signs and the suspicion of clinically overt metastases in the mandibular lymph nodes, the dog was euthanized 261 days after the diagnosis. This is the first report of a malignant pilomatrixoma in the tonsillar area that has been treated with cytoreductive surgery and radiation therapy.
