Osteopatia hipertrófica em cão: revisão de literatura e relato de caso

Abstract

Hypertrophic osteopathy is a syndrome in which tissue proliferation occurs on the bones with subsequent radiographic appearance of periosteal bone neoformation associated with visceral, usually thoracic, disease. It occurs mainly due to a chronic, usually intrapulmonary, inflammatory or tumoral alteration and presents as bilateral symmetrical soft tissue swelling accompanied by diffuse new periosteal formation. In this work a case of Hypertrophic Osteopathy is reported in a 7-year-old Dobermann male dog, attended at the Veterinary Hospital of UFMG. Clinical symptoms associated with radiological and histopathological findings allowed the diagnosis of hypertrophic osteopathy associated with esophageal neoplasia.
