The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical presentation, imaging findings, and outcome in 10 dogs diagnosed with Rhinosporidium seeberi infections. Histopathology and cytology records were searched at a veterinary teaching hospital and a veterinary diagnostic laboratory to identify dogs ...

This study aimed to provide the first report of canine rhinosporidiosis in Brazil, discussing its main characteristics clinical, etiologic, pathogenic and its diagnosis. A male dog, mixed breed, with nasal mass history of slow growth for five months, with occasional nasal bleeding, was submitted to ...

We report a case of nasal rhinosporidiosis in a dog native to Uruguay, being the sixth report of Rhinosporidium seeberi infection in this host from South America. Diagnosis was made by histopathology of biopsied tissue and specific PCR assay from nasal swab material. The patient was a 3-year-old...

The taxonomic relationship of Rhinosporidium seeberi with other organisms remained controversial for over a century. Recently, molecular studies have shown R. seeberi to be a protistal microbe in the newly described class Mesomycetozoea at the animal-fungal boundary. Phylogenetic analyses of R. ...

Polypoid growth of nasal passages which are smooth, soft, pink or pearl white in color, slimy to touch and covered by nasal mucosa through flaccid crus are known as nasal polyps (Skladdzien, 1999). The tumor arises from fibrous tissue of submucosa and gradually pushes into the lumen of nose. Polyps ...

No data is available in the world literature on serum anti-rhinosporidial antibody levels in animals, and as far as we aware this is the first report. Although rhinosporidiosis in farm and domestic animals has been widely reported from other countries, rhinosporidiosis in animals has not been...

Two dogs, 4 and 7 years of age, were presented for evaluation and treatment of excessive sneezing. Physical examinations in both cases were within acceptable limits except for the presence of a single mass in the left nasal passage in the first case and left-sided nasal discharge in the second...

An 8-year-old male Border collie dog, from a rural area surrounded by lagoons, was presented because of a polypoid mass in the left rostral mucous membrane. Surgical removal of the lesion was performed. Histopathological examination revealed the presence of a connective tissue proliferation with an ...

This article discusses the aetiologic agents (Aspergillus, Cryptococcus, Rhinosporidium seeberi, Sporothrix schenckii and Histoplasma capsulatum), diagnosis (endoscopy, computed tomography, radiography, magnetic resonance imaging, histopathology, serology and gene therapy), and treatment (systemic, ...
