Ectrodactyly in a West Highland white terrier.

A case of monomelic forelimb ectrodactyly (lobster-claw deformity) in a West Highland white terrier is reported. Clinical and radiographic findings are described. The dog was treated with a soft tissue reconstruction of the cleft. It later developed a slight varus-type deformity at the carpus but remained sound with occasional bouts of mild lameness following vigorous exercise. To the author's knowledge, this is the first reported case of canine ectrodactyly treated by simple cleft reconstruction, and only the second report of ectrodactyly in this breed.

Canine hypertrophic osteoarthropathy associated with a malignant Sertoli cell tumour.

A 15-year-old crossbred dog was presented with a severe cough of acute onset and an enlarged right testis. Symptomatic treatment for presumed 'kennel cough' failed to produce any improvement and at re-examination the dog had developed a swollen right forelimb. Radiographic examination suggested a diagnosis of hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy (Marie's disease) associated with pulmonary metastases from a testicular tumour. The dog was re-presented five days later with acute-onset severe vomiting and the owner elected for euthanasia. Necropsy was performed and histopathological assessment confirmed the presence of a Sertoli cell tumour in the right testis with multiple pulmonary and renal metastases. Hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy is a rare complication of metastatic canine Sertoli cell tumour. The authors know of no previously reported cases.

Intestinal leiomyosarcoma in a cat.

Intramural ileocaecocolic leiomyosarcoma is described in an elderly neutered male domestic shorthaired cat with poor appetite and weight loss. Histological examination of the resected lesion revealed a poorly differentiated soft tissue sarcoma and a diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma was confirmed by positive immunohistochemical staining for vimentin and a-smooth muscle actin. Postoperative survival time was 102 days before local recurrence justified euthanasia.

Rectal prolapse associated with urinary bladder neoplasia in a cat.

A case of feline rectal prolapse which appeared to be secondary to transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder is described. The cat was reported to be incontinent and treatment was declined by the owners. Euthanasia was performed and necropsy revealed an extensive nodular thickening of the entire urinary bladder wall. A diagnosis of urinary bladder transitional cell carcinoma was made on histopathological examination.
