Abstract

Mycetoma is a fungal chronic skin proliferative lesion rarely encountered in horses and often associated with fungi such as Scedosporium spp., Madurella spp., Phialophora spp., Curvularia spp., and less frequently with Aspergillus spp. A case of subcutaneous mycetoma in the cervical region in a 7-year-old male Quarter Horse, diagnosed through cytological, histological, cultural and molecular methods, is reported. Aspergillus nidulans, usually implicated in guttural pouch mycosis, was identified. This unusual case represents the second case report of mycetoma caused by Aspergillus nidulans in the horse and highlights the importance of including mycotic diseases in the differential diagnosis of nodular skin masses in equine patients.

马皮下足菌肿的病原研究

足菌肿是一种真菌性的慢性皮肤增生性病变，在马身上很少见，通常与真菌如Scedosporium spp、Madurella spp、Phialophora spp、Curvularia spp有关，而较少与曲霉属spp有关。本文报道1例7岁雄性马颈部皮下足菌肿，经细胞学、组织学、培养和分子方法诊断。细粒曲霉，通常涉及喉袋真菌病，被确定。这个不寻常的病例代表了马中由中性曲霉引起的足菌肿的第二例报告，并突出了在马患者结节性皮肤肿块的鉴别诊断中包括霉菌性疾病的重要性。

期刊介绍： Research in Veterinary Science is an International multi-disciplinary journal publishing original articles, reviews and short communications of a high scientific and ethical standard in all aspects of veterinary and biomedical research. The primary aim of the journal is to inform veterinary and biomedical scientists of significant advances in veterinary and related research through prompt publication and dissemination. Secondly, the journal aims to provide a general multi-disciplinary forum for discussion and debate of news and issues concerning veterinary science. Thirdly, to promote the dissemination of knowledge to a broader range of professions, globally. High quality papers on all species of animals are considered, particularly those considered to be of high scientific importance and originality, and with interdisciplinary interest. The journal encourages papers providing results that have clear implications for understanding disease pathogenesis and for the development of control measures or treatments, as well as those dealing with a comparative biomedical approach, which represents a substantial improvement to animal and human health. Studies without a robust scientific hypothesis or that are preliminary, or of weak originality, as well as negative results, are not appropriate for the journal. Furthermore, observational approaches, case studies or field reports lacking an advancement in general knowledge do not fall within the scope of the journal.
