In this article, a case of an amorphus globosus is presented. A three years old White Galloway dam gave birth in her second pregnancy a normal calf and a malformed amorphic co-twin. The malformed co-twin was slightly flattened with an ovoid covered by white hairy skin form of 21.0x10.0x6.0 cm in size and a weight of 1600 g. The present case had an umbilical cord like structure of 20 cm in length and 2-3 cm in diameter. A small opening, resembling am oral structure, contain a tongue-like structure with lips and three milk teeth. Histological examination showed a solid mass of connective tissue, skeletal muscles, lymph, arterial vessel and glandular units and focal by cartilage tissue. The radiography clearly showed lower-upper jaw, small bone similar to a tail-like-structure and a cartilage tissue. The inbreeding coefficient of the case was 6.25% due to a common ancestor on the maternal and paternal side. This is the first report on amorphus globosus in White Galloway cattle including pathological, histopathological, radiological findings and pedigree analysis.

ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ. Παρουσιάζονται δυο σπάνιες περιπτώσεις ακάρ διων άμορφων τεράτων βοοειδών (Holoacardius Amorphus Totalis) y καθένα από τα οποία αποτελούσε προϊόν δίδυμης κυοφο ρίας με φυσιολογικό το δεύτερο νεογέννητο. Τα τέρατα εξετάσθηκαν μακροσκοπικά, ακτινογραφικά και ιστολογικά, ενώ πραγματοποι ήθηκε καρυοτυπικη εξέταση στο ένα από τα φυσιολογικά δίδυμα νεογέννητα. Αμφότερα τα τέρατα περιβάλλονταν από δέρμα, ενώ η εσωτερική τους μάζα, η οποία δεν περιείχε σκελετικά στοιχεία ήταν ιστολογικά ομοιογενής. Το ένα ήταν παρόμοιο σε διαστάσεις με αυ τά που έχουν ήδη περιγραφεί, ενώ το άλλο είναι το μικρότερο (βάρος 21.3 gr) απ' όσα έχουν αναφερθεί στη διεθνή βιβλιογραφία. Και στις δυο περιπτώσεις, δυο ημέρες μετά τη γέννηση τους, στις ωο θήκες των μητέρων τους βρέθηκαν δυο ωχρά σωμάτια Συζητούνται τα πιθανά αίτια, αλλά και οι πλέον πιθανοί μηχανισμοί σχηματισμού των δυο τεράτων.Λέξεις ευρετηρίασης: Βοοειδή, τερατογένεση, ακάρδιο τέρας. ΕΙΣΑΓΩΓΗΤα ακάρδια τέρατα, που χαρακτηρίζονται από μη α ναγνωρίσιμα τμήματα του σώματος τους (Alderman 1973, Mee 1990), ανήκουν στην κατηγορία των "ελευθέρων, α νόμοιων δίδυμων". Η διάχυτη εμβρυϊκή δυσπλασία αυτοΰ του τΰπου περιγράφηκε για πρώτη φορά στον άνθρωπο α πό τον Beneddetti (1533). Η πρώτη αναφορά στα βοοειδή έγινε από τον Ruysch (1750) και ακολούθησε σειρά ανα φορών μέχρι σήμερα (Neal & Wilcox 1967, Leipold et al., 1972, Czarneski 1976, Hishinuma et al, 1987, Mee 1990.

Two rare cases of holoacardius amorphus totalis monsters are reported herewith. The monsters were examined macroscopically, radiographically and histologically, whereas karyotyping was performed in one normal twin. Both monsters were covered with normal skin and hair, while histological examinations revealed a homogenous parenchyma. The first monster was congener to those previously reported, while the second is the smallest case (weight 21.3 gr) reported to date. In both cases, two days after calving, two corpora, lutea were found on the ovaries of the dams. The aetiology as well as the mechanisms of teratogenesis are discussed.

“…Despite the cause of the original defect, the pump twin can frequently progress in utero to high output congestive heart failure (CHF) which can cause intrauterine growth retardation, polyhydramnios, premature delivery, hydrops, liver dysfunction, hypoalbuminemia, or even death [2,6] . Regarding the present [5,6,9] .…”

“…These anastomoses then cause increase arterial pressure and reversal of flow that leads to absence or maldevelopment of the fetal heart in the recipient twin. The second theory describes the primary defect as the absence of a fetal heart that results in the formation of anastomoses and reversed perfusion of the recipient twin [5,6] . Prior case studies have had discordant conclusions with regards to chromosomal errors as the possible etiologic factor of the TRAP sequence [7,8] .…”

Background: Twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence is a rare anomaly of monochorionic twins involving artery-to-artery anastomoses resulting in a structurally normal "pump" twin that provides circulation to an acardiac twin in a retrograde fashion.Case: Herein we report a rare case of a triplet gestation (TrGA) consisting of two conjoined acardiac TRAP recipients and one surviving normal pump fetus. The TRAP recipients were discordant for their anomalies. We know of only three similar case reports from the literature. Conclusion:Characteristic ultrasound findings allow for the prenatal diagnosis of TRAP sequence and may allow prompt and appropriate treatment to improve the outcome of the pump twin.
