Accessory tongue in a calf

Bu makalede bir İsviçre esmeri melezi buzağıda görülen aksesuar dil olgusu tanımlandı. Buzağıda kafanın vücuda oranla daha büyük şekillendiği, kafa ve boyun bölgesinin oldukça ödemli olduğu dikkat çekti. Ağız boşluğu incisura vasorum hizasından kesilerek ayrıldı. Ağız boşluğunun tabanında 11.3 cm x 3.1 cm x 1.7 cm boyutlarında normal bir dilin bulunduğu gözlendi. Ancak, dilin ventralinde, hareketli kısmın anterior 2/3 bölümü, inferior yüzeyinde 5.1 cm x 4.2 cm x 1.3 cm boyutlarında koyu kırmızı renkte bir oluşum dikkati çekti. Ayrıca, normal dil üzerinde bulunan papillalar, bu oluşum üzerinde gözlenmedi. Histopatolojik incelemede bu oluşumda normal bir dil epitelinin devam ettiği, buna karşın dil papillalarının ve stratum korneum’un çok belirgin olmadığı dikkati çekti. Lamina propriada yoğun kanama alanları ve yer yer yangı hücreleri gözlendi. Bu kesitler Masson’s trichrome metodu ile de boyandı. Yapılan histopatolojik inceleme sonucunda bu kitlenin konjenital malformasyonlardan biri olan ve hem insanlarda hem de hayvanlarda nadir görülen aksesuar dil olduğu sonucuna varıldı. Ayrıca buzağıdaki aksesuar dil Anaglif tekniği kullanılarak görüntülendi.

Bir buzağıda aksesuar dil olgusu

This paper describes a case of accessory tongue in a male Brown Swiss crossbred calf. It was observed that the skull of calf was proportionally bigger as compared to the body, and the regions of head and neck were oedematous. The cavity of mouth was opened by cutting at the level of incisura vasorum. There was a normal tongue with 11.3 cm x 3.1 cm x 1.7 cm in size at the base of the cavity. However, surprisingly there was a further dark red coloured movable mass in 5.1 cm x 4.2 cm x 1.3 cm size at the inferior surface of 2/3 anterior part of lingual body located at the ventral side of tongue. There were papillae on the surface of normal tongue while, they were absent on the mass. Histopathological examinations of the mass revealed that there was an epithelial layer with no apparent overlying papillae and stratum corneum. Occasionally, inflammatory cells and hemorrhagic foci were observed in the lamina propria. The sections were also stained by Masson’s trichrome method. It was concluded that the mass was a congenital malformations and actually an accessory tongue that is rarely seen in both humans and animals. The accessory tongue in the calf was also viewed by anaglyph technique.
