This report describes a spinal cord epidural and synovial lipomatosis in a 3-year-old neutered male Eurasian dog. This dog presented for ambulatory paraparesis and was previously treated with immunosuppressive dosages of prednisolone for 2 years. Computed tomography (CT) myelography and magnetic resonnance imaging (MRI) images identified dorsal compression of the thoraco-lumbar spinal cord by hypertrophic epidural fat. Histological examination identified extensive well-differentiated mature adipose tissue in the subepithelial area of the tarsal synovium. Prednisolone is a reported predisposing factor in humans with lipomatosis.
本报告描述了一只 3 岁已去势雄性欧亚犬的脊髓硬膜外和滑膜脂肪瘤病。这只狗表现为可移动性后肢轻瘫,此前曾接受 2 年免疫抑制剂量的泼尼松龙治疗。计算机断层扫描 (CT) 脊髓造影和磁共振成像 (MRI) 图像显示,胸腰椎脊髓背侧受压,硬膜外脂肪肥厚。组织学检查发现跗关节滑膜的上皮下区域有广泛的分化良好的成熟脂肪组织。泼尼松龙是人类脂肪瘤病的报道诱发因素。
