In this case report, an atypical clinical presentation of leishmaniosis in a dog with multiple nodular lesions of the tongue is described. Haematological and biochemical analysis, serological test for Leishmania infantum antibodies and biopsy samples from several nodules of the tongue for histopathological examination were made. The final diagnosis of leishmaniosis was based upon the observation of amastigotes in the bioptic samples. It is recommended to consider leishmaniosis among the list of differentials of mucosal nodular lesions, at least in endemic areas.
在本病例报告中,描述了一只患有舌部多发结节性病变的犬利什曼病的非典型临床表现。进行了血液学和生化分析、婴儿利什曼原虫抗体血清学检测以及从舌部多个结节采集活检样本进行组织病理学检查。利什曼病的最终诊断基于在活检样本中观察到无鞭毛体。建议至少在流行地区,将利什曼病列入黏膜结节性病变的鉴别诊断清单中。
