Maxillary ameloblastic carcinoma in an Alaskan Malamute.

A 3-year-old female Alaskan Malamute was submitted to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Madrid with a mass in the right maxilla. It was ulcerated, covered by a yellowish infected membrane, and painful. The histologic examination showed a neoplastic proliferation of palisading cells distributed irregularly in cords. The tumor was diagnosed as an ameloblastic carcinoma because of the histologic signs of malignancy, the aggressive behavior, and the absence of distal metastasis. This is the first description of an ameloblastic carcinoma in a dog.

Lingual calcinosis circumscripta in a dog.

Calcinosis circumscripta occurs rarely in dogs and cats, especially in the oral cavity. This case report describes the diagnosis and management of lingual calcinosis circumscripta in an eight-month-old, intact/male German shepherd-cross dog. An excellent prognosis for this disease may be achieved when the patient is managed as described in this report.

Pathological alterations caused by Anoplocephala perfoliata infection in the ileocaecal junction of equids.

The pathological alterations caused by Anoplocephala perfoliata in the ileocaecal junction of 28 equids slaughtered in an abattoir in Madrid (Central Spain) are described. The lesions were scored in grades based on the intensity of the damage and were related to the tapeworm number observed. The first grade (grade I) of alterations consisted of a slight enteritis associated with focal erosions observed in 43% of parasitized animals with low parasitic burden (1-26 tapeworms). The second grade (grade II) was a focal pseudomembranous enteritis, present in the ileocaecal junctions of 36% infected animals with moderate to high burden (23-188 tapeworms), and the third grade (grade III) was a regional necrotizing enteritis, present in the animals (21%) with the highest burden (72-248 tapeworms). The possible role of the lesions caused by this parasite in the aetiology of colic is discussed.
