A case of congenital, solitary, cutaneous mesenchymal hamartoma in the palm of the left hand is reported. The mass was composed mainly of an intimate mixture of fibrocollagenous bundles and islands of mature fat cells, distorted blood vessels with smooth muscle in the wall, and eccrine sweat glands. Many mast cells were scattered throughout the fibrocollagenous bundles. The mast cell may be an important cell in this hamartoma.

In this first article of a series of papers listing first case reports of animal diseases published since 2000, the following 19 cases of dog diseases are discussed: Blastomycotic granuloma involving the cranial vena cava. Congenital myocardial hamartoma. Discospondylitis: three cases caused respectively by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus epidermidis. Dystrophin deficient muscular dystrophy in a Labrador Retriever. Emphysematous prostatitis. Erythema multiforme major caused by a Parvovirus infection of keratinocytes. Hemochromatosis due to repeated blood transfusions. Intraspinal synovial cyst. Juvenile nephropathy in the Collie and the Irish Wolfhound. Primary cerebellar cortical degeneration (abiotrophy) in a Scottish terrier. Primary pulmonary artery chondrosarcoma. Renal dysplasia in a Bull Mastiff. Rhabdomyosarcoma (botryoid sarcoma) of the urinary bladder in a Maltese. Spinal mast cell tumor. Spongiform degeneration of the white matter in the central nervous system of Australian Cattle dog. Systemic pasteurellosis caused by Pasteurella canis. Thymic hemorrhage caused by dicumarol intoxication. Undimerized biclonal gammopathy with a single heavy chain class IgA in a dog with multiple myeloma. After a short introduction, the bibliographical data and the abstract of the author(s) and mostly some additional information derived from the article are given. The article will be regularly updated adding overlooked as well as new first reports.

Syringocystadenoma papilliferum (SCAP) is a rare hamartoma with predominant apocrine differentiation. Clinically, presenting as solitary nodule, nodular plaque, or linear nodules, SCAP usually occurs over the head and neck region in children. Out of these three morphological presentations, the linear type is the most rare. We report herein a case of a 36-year-old man with linear SCAP over the right inguinal fold, for its rarity. Besides the typical histologic features, a marked increase in lesional mast cell concentration as compared to a control specimen obtained from an unaffected site and a strikingly raised number of spreading and degranulated mast cells were demonstrated.

Of 1146 caprine necropsy or biopsy specimens submitted from 1987 through 2011 to the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory at Oregon State University, 100 goats (8.7%) had 102 tumors. Detailed records were available for 89 cases. Fifty-five goats were female, 17 were castrated males, and 12 were intact males. Breeds included 21 Nubian, 16 Pygmy, 10 Pygora, 8 Alpine, 4 Angora, 4 Saanen, 2 Toggenburg, and 9 crossbred goats. Dwarf, Nubian, and Saanen goats were overrepresented and Alpine and Boer goats underrepresented among cases with neoplastic disease in comparison to submissions overall. Age ranged from 7 months to 19 years (median, 7 years). Histopathology was performed on 97 tumors. Lymphoma (n = 17) was the most common tumor, followed by cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (n = 10) and thymoma (n = 9). Most lymphomas were multicentric. All 7 mammary neoplasms were adenocarcinomas. Five of 7 vascular proliferations were hemangiosarcomas. All 4 melanocytic tumors were classified as (malignant) melanoma. Rarely reported caprine tumors included a choroid plexus carcinoma, 2 rhabdomyosarcomas, and 3 pheochromocytomas. Cutaneous round cell tumors were provisionally diagnosed as 2 histiocytomas and 5 mast cell tumors. Single cases of previously unreported caprine tumors included amyloid-producing odontogenic tumor, myxosarcoma, sebaceous carcinoma, apocrine sweat gland adenoma, and thyroid carcinoma. Nonneoplastic entities included 2 cases of mammary fibroadenomatous hyperplasia and single cases of vascular hamartoma, cervical adenomatous hyperplasia, and cervical leiomyofibromatosis. The results of this 25-year retrospective study indicate that lymphoma in particular and tumors in general are common in goats.
