Abstract

A 13-year old female miniature Poodle was presented with ventro-abdominal skin purpura. All mammary glands were included, but right side mammary glands and left thoracic gland were mild while left abdominal and inguinal glands were moderately changed. Overlying skin of mammary glands was purple colored, thickened, and firm. Yellowish brown colored mammary discharge was noticed from every teats except cranial thoracic gland. On histologic finding, dermal lymphatic vessels were filled with tumor emboli that stained positively with cytokeratin. This case was diagnosed as inflammatory mammary carcinoma by clinical examination and histopathologic finding.

13세의 miniature Poodle이 복부 피부의 자반을 주증으로 내원하였다. 자반은 전체 유선에 걸쳐 관찰되었으나 특히 복부유선과 서혜부 유선에서 심하게 관찰되었다. 유선을 덮고 있는 피부는 자줏빛으로 변해있었으며 비후되었고 황갈색의 분비물이 전흉부유선을 제외한 모든 유선에서 분비되었다. 조직학적 검사에서는 피부측 림프관들이 Cytokeratin에 양성반응을 보이는 종양세포 색전들로 차있었다. 본 증례는 임상검사와 조직학적 검사를 통해 inflammatory mammary carcinoma로 진단되었다.
