Abdominal maduromycosis in a dog.
1982
Bak U.B. | Cheong C.K. | Lim C.H.
A massive mycetoma was observed in the abdominal cavity of a 3-year-old spayed female Labrador Retriever dog which originated from France. The mycetoma lesion involved adhesion with one-half of the spleen, several portions of the small and large intestine, and the diaphragm. Histologically the distict hypertrophy of the intestinal muscle layer and wide spread deposition of the hemosiderin through the affected abdominal organs and thrombosis of aplenic arterioles with athematous change were recognized as persistant. There were also debilitating changes in the affected organs. From the histological appearance of the fungal colonies it was presumed that the causative fungus was Allescheria boydii.
