Abstract

Follicular cysts are non-neoplastic skin lesions lined by follicular epithelium. The pathogenesis of these lesions is unclear. Multiple follicular cysts occur sporadically in dogs, horses and humans and are common in sheep. Here we report multiple follicular cysts in four aged alpacas (Vicugna pacos). Based on their histological features, they are most consistent with hybrid cysts. This is the first report of multiple follicular cysts in alpacas.

摘要

滤泡囊肿是由滤泡上皮衬里的非肿瘤性皮肤病变。这些病变的发病机制尚不清楚。多发性滤泡囊肿偶见于犬、马和人类，在绵羊中很常见。在此，我们报告了4只成年羊驼（小羊驼）身上的多发性滤泡囊肿。根据其组织学特征，它们最符合混合性囊肿。这是关于羊驼多发性滤泡囊肿的首次报告。
