Bir Buzağıda Subkutan Kavernöz Servikofasiyal Lenfangiom veCerrahi Tedavisi

Yirmi günlük Simental erkek bir buzağının çene, yanak ve boyun bölgesinin sol tarafında düzensiz şekilli bir kitle mevcut olup, yüzün %70’ini kaplayan kitle, cilt altında kistik yapılardan oluşuyordu. Cerrahi olarak eksize edilen kitlenin postoperatif olarak üç ay sonrasında nüks etmediği saptandı. Kitlenin kesit yüzeeri 20×15×8 cm boyutlarında ölçüldü. Histolojik olarak kitleye bir veya nadiren daha fazla düz endotelyal hücre tabakasıyla döşeli olduğu, ince duvarlı, kistik genişlemiş boşluklardan oluştuğu saptandı ve kavernöz lenfangiom tanısı konuldu. Mitotik figürler mevcut değildi. Kanallar, bitişik kan damarlarını kaplayan endotel hücrelerinin aksine eritrositleri içermiyordu. Kistik boşlukları döşeyen endotel hücreleri podoplaninle pozitif sitoplazmik immünoreaksiyon gösterdi. Sonuç olarak, bu raporda bir buzağıda servikofasiyal lenfangiomun klinik, patolojik, immünohistokimyasal özellikleri ve cerrahi tedavisi sunulmaktadır.

Subcutaneous Cavernous Cervicofacial Lymphangioma and It’s Surgical Treatment in a Calf

A 20-day-old, Simmental male calf showed a subcutan mass locating left side of chin, buccal and neck regions. The mass covering the 70% of left side of the face consisted of cystic structures under the skin. It was surgically excised and no recurrence occurred three months after the excision. The cut surfaces of mass were measured by 20×15×8 cm in size. Histologically, the mass was diagnosed as cavernous lymphangioma which composed of thin-walled cystically dilated spaces which were lined with one or rarely more layers of flat endothelial cells. Mitotic figures were not present. The channels did not contain red blood cells in contrast to, endothelial cells lining adjacent blood vessels. The endothelial cells of cystic dilated spaces gave positive cytoplasmic immunoreaction forpodoplanin. In conclusion, this report presents clinical, pathological, immunohistochemical features and surgical treatment of cervicofacial lymphangioma in a calf.
