Biliary cirrhosis secondary to obstruction of the common bile duct by ectopic pancreas in a cow.

A 10-year-old Japanese Black cow showed icterus with gradual emaciation for a period of 3 months. Ultrasonography demonstrated increased "echogenicity" of the entire liver, with marked dilatation of the gall-bladder. At necropsy, the common bile duct was found to be obstructed by focally thickened fibrous tissue adjacent to a flesh-like mass (9 x 4 x 4 mm) attached to the wall of the duct. The mass consisted of normal pancreatic tissue. The liver showed moderate fibrosis, with nodular regeneration of the hepatic tissue and bile duct hyperplasia. A diagnosis of biliary cirrhosis secondary to ectopic pancreas in the common bile duct was made.

Non-functional pituitary chromophobe adenoma in a calf.

A 5-month-old male calf showed neurological signs, including circling, in-co-ordination, depression, blindness and eventual recumbency. On necropsy, a mass measuring 3.5 x 4.5 x 5 cm was found at the base of the brain, at the level of the pituitary gland. The hypothalamus and optic nerves were compressed by the dorsally expanding mass. Non-functional pituitary chromophobe adenoma was diagnosed from histochemical, immunohistochemical and electron microscopical findings.

Clinostomum complanatum (Trematoda: Clinostomatidae) in five new fish hosts in Japan.

Metacercariae of Clinostomum complanatum were found in six species of natural freshwater fishes collected at Koyama Pond in Tottori City of Tottori Prefecture, Japan. Five of these fish species are reported here as new records for second intermediate hosts of C. complanatum in Japan: the silver crucian carp (Carassius gibelio langsdorfi), the deepbodied crucian carp (Carassius cuvieri), the carp (Cyprinus carpio), the topmouth gudgeon (Pseudorasbora parva) and the rose bitterling (Rhodeus ocelatus).

Natural infections of Clinostomum complanatum (Trematoda: Clinostomatidae) in wild herons and egrets, Tottori Prefecture, Japan.

Nycticorax nycticorax, Ardea cinerea, Egretta garzetta, and Egretta intermedia were naturally infected with Clinostomum complanatum (Trematoda: Clinostomatidae) among fourteen wild herons, seven wild egrets and one wild bittern evaluated at the Veterinary Hospital of Tottori University, Tottori, Japan. The latter three species of heron and egrets are reported for the first time as definitive hosts of this parasite in Japan.

Myocardial infarction secondary to a disseminated coagulopathy in a cow.

A 3-year-old Holstein cow was presented with a history of high fever, jaundice and subsequent recumbency. The animal died 3 hours after arrival at our department; continuous electrocardiographic examination was performed during those last 3 hours. There were ventricular premature beats (VPBs) with high frequency and complex patterns (bigeminal, trigeminal, repetitive or early cycle VPBs) and paroxysms of ventricular tachycardia (VT). Serum CK-MB was markedly elevated. On histopathological examination, large areas of myocardial necrosis were found in the anterior aspects of the left ventricle. Large, partially organized thrombi occluded the intramural coronary arteries within and adjacent to the lesion. From the histopathological findings, it appeared that a disseminated coagulopathy caused the thromboembolism in the intramural coronary arteries, resulting in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Various clinical findings, such as arrhythmias, were similar to those in man.
