Abstract

A 4-year-old female bearded dragon (Pogona vitticeps) was referred to the Clinic for Small Mammals, Reptiles and Birds of the University of Veterinary Medicine, Hannover, Germany for diagnostics and treatment of a growing mass in the right cervical region. The owner reported that the mass had grown over the past 4 weeks with only little alteration in the lizard´s behavior when the animal started rubbing its neck against the cage equipment. Physical examination as well as ultrasonographic and computed tomographic diagnostics revealed a highly vascularized mass, which allowed for the hypothesis of an aneurysm or a neoplasia. Complete surgical resection of the mass could be performed uneventfully. The bearded dragon recovered well from anesthesia and the surgical procedure. The microbiological sample of the excised mass revealed Group F-67 Salmonella. Histopathological examination of the excised mass revealed a histiocytic cell proliferation with centrally located blood filled cavities, hemorrhages and granulation tissue resembling features of a pseudoaneurysm. This report describes the diagnosis of an atypical growing mass in a bearded dragon and its successful removal.

胡须龙(Pogona vitticeps)非典型组织细胞增生的手术切除。

一只4岁的雌性胡须龙(Pogona vitticeps)被转诊到德国汉诺威兽医大学的小型哺乳动物、爬行动物和鸟类诊所，诊断和治疗右颈椎区域不断增长的肿块。主人报告说，在过去的四周里，这只蜥蜴的肿块越来越大，当它开始用脖子摩擦笼子设备时，它的行为几乎没有变化。体格检查以及超声和计算机断层扫描诊断显示一个高度血管化的肿块，这允许假设动脉瘤或肿瘤。完全手术切除肿块可以顺利进行。大胡子龙从麻醉和手术过程中恢复得很好。切除肿块的微生物样品显示F-67群沙门氏菌。切除肿块的组织病理学检查显示组织细胞增生，中心位置充血腔，出血和肉芽组织类似假性动脉瘤的特征。本报告描述了一种非典型生长肿块的诊断和它的成功切除。

期刊介绍： Die Tierärztliche Praxis wendet sich mit ihren beiden Reihen als einzige veterinärmedizinische Fachzeitschrift explizit an den Großtier- bzw. Kleintierpraktiker und garantiert damit eine zielgruppengenaue Ansprache. Für den Spezialisten bietet sie Original- oder Übersichtsartikel zu neuen Therapie- und Operationsverfahren oder den Einsatz moderner bildgebender Verfahren. Der weniger spezialisierte Tierarzt oder Berufseinsteiger findet auf seinen Berufsalltag zugeschnittene praxisbezogene Beiträge in der Fortbildungsrubrik „Aus Studium und Praxis“. Mit dem hervorgehobenen „Fazit für die Praxis“ am Ende jedes Artikels verschafft sich auch der eilige Leser einen raschen Überblick über die wichtigsten Inhalte dieser modern konzipierten Fachzeitschrift mit den vielen hochwertigen, überwiegend farbigen Abbildungen. In jedem Heft ermöglicht ein ATF-anerkannter Fortbildungsartikel den Erwerb einer ATF-Stunde (Akademie für tierärztliche Fortbildung).
