Abstract
Fibrosarcomas are malignant tumors of the connective tissue, which are characterized by proliferation of fibroblasts. Most of these tumors are localized subcutaneously and cause different symptoms depending on their location. The case report describes a dermal tumor on the outside of the pinna in a 7-year-old female Cashmere goat. The tumor was surgically removed and histopathological examination revealed a low grade fibrosarcoma. Although tumors are rare in ruminants because of the animals’ short lifespan (age of slaughtering in most cases < 24 months) in modern production processes, they should be considered as a differential diagnosis.
Zusammenfassung
Fibrosarkome gehören zu den malignen Tumoren des Bindegewebes und werden von Fibroblasten gebildet. Meist sind diese Tumoren subkutan lokalisiert und die Symptome variieren abhängig von der Lokalisation der Neoplasie. Der Fallbericht beschreibt ein dermales Fibrosarkom bei einer 7-jährigen, weiblichen Kaschmirziege, das an der Außenseite der Ohrmuschel lokalisiert war und chirurgisch entfernt wurde. Die histopathogische Untersuchung des Gewebes ergab die Diagnose eines niedrig malignen Fibrosarkoms. Aufgrund der durch den modernen Produktionsprozess bedingten kurzen Lebensdauer (Schlachtung meist bis zu einem Lebensalter von 24 Monaten) treten Tumoren bei Wiederkäuern verhältnismäßig selten auf, sind jedoch auch beim Nutztier als Differenzialdiagnose zu berücksichtigen.
