| Popis: | This paper describes in detail the clinical and pathomorphological aspects of lymphangiectasia in a dog. The dog was presented at the Clinic for Internal Diseases, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Zagreb, after a period of chronic diarrhoea and progressive weight loss. Results of clinical examination indicated a protein-losing enteropathy due to lymphangiectasia. Adequate therapy was conducted, but with unsatisfactory results and the dog was euthanised at the owner’s request. Secondary lymphangiectasia could be due to mononuclear lymphangitis (unknown etiology) which was confirmed pathoanatomically and pathohistologically, but secondary dilatation of lacteals could be the result of inflammatory bowel disease (lymphocytic and plasmocytic infiltration). U radu je iscrpno prikazana klinička i patološkomorfološka slika limfangiektazija u psa. Životinja je dovedena na Kliniku za unutarnje bolesti Veterinarskog fakulteta u Zagrebu zbog kroničnog proljeva i progesivnog mršavljenja. Nakon provedene temeljite kliničke i biokemijske pretrage nalazi su upućivali na enteropatiju zbog gubitka proteina uzrokovanu limfangiektazijom. U skladu s nalazima provedena je odgovarajuća terapija, koja nije davala zadovoljavajuće rezultate, pa je na zahtjev vlasnika životinja eutanazirana. Patoanatomskom i patohistološkom pretragom potvrđena je sekundarna limfangiektazija koja može biti rezultat mononuklearnog limfangitisa nepoznate etiologije, a može biti potaknuta i upalnom crijevnom bolesti. |
