Hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthopatliy in dogs

Abstract

Seven dogs (5 females and  2 males), with ages varying between 5 and  10 years’s old, showing pneumic osteo-arthropathy were studied. This condition was caused as follows: one by esophagic parasitic nodule (Spirocerca lupi) and aortic aneurysm; one by bronchogenic carcinoma with lung metastasis; another by lung metastasis from ovary digerminoma; two by lung metastasis from mammary adenocarcinoma and two esophagic sarcomas, the former being polymorphic and the latter osteogenic, both originated from parasitic granlomn (Spirocerca lupi). X-rays were taken and after that the animals were submitted to post mortem examination. Six related radiographic figures are shown in the paper.
