A cutaneous myxoma case in A 12-year-old boxer

Olgumuzu İstanbul Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Cerrahi Anabilim Dalı Kliniği’ne başının üzerinde bir şişkinlik olduğu şikayetiyle getirilen, 12 yaşında Bokser Srkı erkek bir köpek oluşturdu. Yapılan klinik muayenede kitlenin, os frontale üzerinde, portakal büyüklüğünde, sert kıvamlı ve alt dokulara sıkıca yapışık olduğu, ayrıca sol alt göz kapağında, sağ dirsek üzerinde ve ağız içinde de kitleler bulunduğu belirlendi. Operasyon önerildi. Histopatolojide cranium üzerindeki kitlenin, kutanöz miksoma, dirsektekinin dermoid kist, göz kapağındakinin meibomiyan epiteliyoma, ağızdakinin ise epulis olduğu belirlendi. Tümöre yatkınlığı ile bilinen bokser ırkı olan 12 yaşında erkek bir köpekte rastladığımız kutanöz miksoma olgusu ender rastlanan lokalizasyonu ve klinik görünümü yönüyle değerlendirilmiş ve özellikle küçük hayvan pratiği yapan hekimlerin dikkatine sunulmuştur.
