In the present work, we describe the clinical-pathological case of an 11-month-old Border Collie dog, which was presented by its owner to a private veterinary clinic for the purpose of determining the diagnosis and subsequent therapy. The owner reports anamnestic data of abdominal enlargement, persistent apathy, fatigue, and vomiting. A complete examination of the patient was performed, consisting of clinical, hematological, and biochemical blood tests, X-ray, and USG examinations. Based on the findings, a probatory laparotomy was indicated, during which a large multi-lobular cystic irregular mass was detected, affecting the entire liver parenchyma, including macroscopic metastatic foci of the omentum and diaphragm. Due to the inoperable finding, the patient was humanely euthanized during the surgical procedure. Subsequently, an autopsy was performed with the collection of samples for histopathological and PCR examination of the tissue. Serological examination was also performed. The results confirmed a rare generalized form of alveococcosis () in the dog as an intermediate host.
在本研究中，我们描述了一只11个月大的边境牧羊犬的临床病理病例，其主人将它送到一家私人兽医诊所，以确定诊断结果并进行后续治疗。主人报告了腹部肿大、持续冷漠、疲劳和呕吐的既往病史。对该患者进行了全面检查，包括临床、血液学和生化血液检查、X射线和超声检查。根据检查结果，进行了探查性剖腹术，术中发现一个大的多叶囊性不规则肿块，累及整个肝实质，包括网膜和膈肌的宏观转移灶。由于发现无法手术，患者在手术过程中被人道安乐死。随后，进行了尸检，并采集样本进行组织病理和PCR检查。还进行了血清学检查。结果证实这只作为中间宿主的狗患有罕见的全身性肺泡虫病（）。
