Primary pulmonary mucoepidermoid tumors in the goat

Abstract: In reviewing 2,500 complete goat autopsies, 15 were found to contain primary lung tumors. Grossly, the tumors were circumscribed and yellowish‐to‐grey in color. Microscopically, they were all mucoepidermoid in type with abundant keratin and minimal mucin production. Intrabronchial extension of the tumor was demonstrated in most cases. Squamous metaplasia was noted in bronchial structures, both within the tumor and in adjacent areas. The comparative incidence of pulmonary tumors in animals and man is discussed.

“…Other caprine pulmonary tumors are also very infrequent, and only a few cases of lung primary tumors have been described, defined as squamous cell tumors 10 or pulmonary mucoepidermoid tumors. 2 Thus, the lung tumor described in this paper can be added to the short list of primary lung tumors reported in goats and, as far as we know, it is the first reported case of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma unrelated to JSRV or ENTV infection.…”

A spontaneous lung tumor in a 5-year-old goat of the Murciano-Granadina breed is described in this paper. Clinical signs of cachexia and tachypnoea were evident, and a considerable amount of white mucous foamy fluid was discharged from the nostrils when the animal's head was lowered. A lung tumor with the characteristics of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma was detected during histopathologic examination. The tumor cells were positive for surfactant proteins C and B, confirming that alveolar type II cells were the origin of the neoplasia. Tumor samples were tested by polymerase chain reaction, immunoblotting, and immunohistochemistry for the presence of Jaagsiekte sheep retrovirus (JSRV) and enzootic nasal tumor virus (ENTV), another retrovirus very closely related to JSRV, but all tests were negative. Therefore, this is the first reported case of spontaneous bronchioloalveolar carcinoma not related to JSRV or ENTV infection in a goat.

Brief CommunicationRequest reprints from D.A. Pass, Murdoch University, School of Veterinary Studies, Murdoch, 6 150 (Western Australia).of basophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes, and plasma cells were present in the liver and large numbers of basophils were present in bone marrow.Formalin-fixed pieces of affected gut were post-fixed in 1% osmium tetroxide and processed for electron microscopy. Ultrastructural examination confirmed the presence of numerous basophils. These cells had polymorphic nuclei and intracytoplasmic membrane-bound granules which were either electron dense or finely stippled ( fig. 2).The etiology of the lesions described could not be determined. The functions of basophils are understood poorly but they are thought to provide receptors for immunoglobulin E and to respond in a similar fashion to mast cells, playing a role in the development of immediate hypersensitivity (type 1) reactions.' It, therefore, is possible that in the present horse the lesions and peripheral basophilia were the result of an immediate hypersensitivity reaction to antigens absorbed from or excreted into the gut. A similar mechanism was suggested in cases of eosinophilic gastroenteritis in horse^.^ It is possible that basophilic enterocolitis is a variant of equine eosinophilic gastroenteritis. Tissues from four reported cases of eosinophilic gastroenteritis' and two cases that occurred subsequent to the report, were examined for the presence of basophils. Basophils rarely were seen or were not observed in these horses.Even though both eosinophilic and basophilic enteritis may be mediated by similar mechanisms, the lesions are sufficiently different to consider them as separate morphologic entities.
