CASE REPORTS
Mycotic Mastitis in Three Dogs Due to Blastomyces dermatitidis
Heidi Ditmyer, DVM, Linden Craig, DVM, PhD, DACVP
ABSTRACT Canine blastomycosis is a common systemic fungal infection within the Ohio and Mississippi River valleys and typically presents as pneumonia, lymphadenitis, or endophthalmitis. This report describes three cases in which mammary tissue samples were submitted to the Department
of Pathobiology, University of
Tennessee, College of Veterinary Medicine with clinical suspicion of neoplasia or postpartum bacterial mas- titis. Pyogranulomatous to granulomatous mastitis and dermatitis with intralesional yeast consistent with Blastomyces dermatitidis were diagnosed. Two of the three dogs also had lymph node and pulmonary involvement. Mycotic mastitis due to Blastomyces der- matitidis is rarely reported and blastomycosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of dogs with mammary lesions from endemic areas.

Palliative Radiation Therapy in the Treatment of Canine Appendicular Synovial Sarcoma
DS Gibbons, AD Bennett, PL Treuil
ABSTRACT Synovial sarcoma is a rare tumor in dogs, occurring in approximately 27% of neoplasms involving joints, with the elbow representing a common site of occurrence. The recommended treatment of canine synovial sar- coma is amputation. The authors describe the use of palliative radiation therapy for the treatment of synovial sarcoma involving the elbow of a dog and conclude that this treatment modality may have use in some patients affected with synovial sarcoma.
