“…Small discrete foci of necrotic fat are identified, and the masses are generally confined to the peripancreatic fat, although sometimes they can be distributed throughout the abdominal cavity. 4 The pancreas of the goat in this case report was grossly and histologically normal.…”

“…Although the etiology of fat necrosis is unknown, it may be related to dietary factors such as the consumption of feeds high in long-chain, saturated fatty acids. 4 The condition has also been associated with ingestion of endophyteinfected fescue and is considered one of the 4 ''syndromes'' commonly associated with fescue toxicosis in ruminants. 11,13,18,22,23 The purpose of this report is to describe a case of abdominal fat necrosis in a goat.…”

“…4,6,7 Steatitis is caused by a diet high in polyunsaturated fat and low in tocopherols (vitamin E), which allows for oxidation of fatty acids. 4 Vitamin E deficiency has not been linked to the abdominal fat necrosis typically seen in ruminants. Enzymatic necrosis of abdominal fat can also occur secondary to pancreatic necrosis.…”

“…This form of fat necrosis has been frequently reported in Channel Island breeds of cattle (Jersey and Guernsey) as well as Japanese Black cattle. 4,12 This condition is often fatal because large masses of necrotic fat cause compression of the intestines, urinary tract, or pelvic canal. Clinical signs are most commonly due to intestinal obstruction because the gastrointestinal tract is compressed by the firm lumps of necrotic fat.…”

Abdominal Fat Necrosis in a Pygmy Goat Associated with Fescue Toxicosis

Abdominal fat necrosis was diagnosed in an 11-year-old female pygmy goat with a 10-day history of lethargy, anorexia, and progressive abdominal distension. Gross necropsy findings revealed multiple firm, dark yellow, nodular masses of fat throughout the abdominal cavity, which compressed several abdominal organs including the rumen, small intestine, spiral colon, and gall bladder. Histologically, multiple to coalescing adipocyte necrosis, saponification, and infiltration with variable numbers of macrophages, lymphocytes, and plasma cells was observed. Fat necrosis in this case was attributed to tall fescue toxicity based on the presence of high levels of endophyte ( Neotyphodium coenophialum)–infected fescue identified in the goat's pasture. This is the first known report of abdominal fat necrosis in a goat and demonstrates the fat necrosis syndrome of fescue toxicosis in ruminants.

“…A necrose de gordura abdominal em bovinos tem apresentação característica e se difere dos demais tipos de necrose de gordura, como a pancreática e a traumática (BARKER, 1993;MYERS & MCGAVIN, 2007). A doença tem sido relatada em vários lugares do mundo e tem afetado principalmente animais das raças Jersey, Guernsey, Aberdeen Angus e Japonese Black (ARBUCKLE, 1962;WILLIAMS et al, 1969).…”
