This report describes a case of hypertrophic osteopathy in an approximately three years old male roe deer (Capreolus capreolus). The hunter reported that the animal was apparently healthy and showed no signs of movement imparities. At dissection, a combination of a lung abscess with bony swellings at the distal parts of the limbs was observed. Further investigation revealed that the bony swellings were caused by a severe periosteal hyperosteosis at the diaphyses of the digital phalanges, metacarpal and metatarsal bones. The periosteal new bone was characterized by the formation of coralliform osteophytes, typically seen in cases of hypertrophic osteopathy. As usual in animals with hypertrophic osteopathy, the pathological changes in this roe deer developed secondary to a intrathoracic lesion (lung abscess).
本报告描述了一例约三岁雄性狍（Capreolus capreolus）患肥大性骨病的病例。猎人报告称，这只动物看起来很健康，没有行动不便的迹象。解剖时，发现肺部有脓肿，四肢远端有骨质肿胀。进一步调查显示，骨质肿胀是由指骨、掌骨和跖骨骨干处严重的骨膜增生性骨肥厚引起的。骨膜新生骨的特征是形成珊瑚状骨赘，这在肥大性骨病病例中很常见。与患有肥大性骨病的动物一样，这只狍的病理变化继发于胸腔内病变（肺脓肿）。
