| − | ===Nasal neoplasia in general===
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Majority are malignant, locally invasive but do not metastasise
| |
| − | *Usually pale, soft, fleshy or friable
| |
| − | *May be [[Bones Hyperplastic and Neoplastic - Pathology|osteoma or osteosarcoma, chondroma or chondrosarcoma]], fibroma or fibrosarcoma, myxoma or myxosarcoma, haemangioma or haemangiosarcoma, adenoma or adenocarcinoma
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ===Adenocarcinoma===
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Most common in dogs, also sheep
| |
| − | *Glandular acini in layer of cuboidal or columnar epithelium
| |
| − | *Often mucin filled acini
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ===Transitional cell carcinoma===
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Most common in dogs
| |
| − | *Thick stratified layer of cuboidal cells with distinct basement membrane
| |
| − | *Large growth may be separated by fibrovascular septa
| |
| − | *May contain microcysts that could be confused with adenocarcinoma above
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ===Squamous cell carcinoma===
| |
| − | | |
| − | *In cats they arise mainly from nasal vestibule
| |
| − | *In horses they originate mainly from maxillary sinus
| |
| − | *Most common nasal tumour
| |
| − | **Serosanquineous or mucopurulent, odourous nasal discharge
| |
| − | *Tissue necrosis
| |
| − | *May cause airway obstruction or facial distortion
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ===Olfactory neuroblastoma===
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Rare, mainly occurs in cats
| |
| − | *Arises from ethmoturbinates in caudal region of nasal cavity
| |
| − | *May penetrate cribriform plate into cerebral cortex
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ===Ethmoturbinate tumours (papillomas and adenocarcinomas)===
| |
| − | | |
| − | *In horses and other species
| |
| − | *Multiple species may be affected on one premises
| |
| − | *Arising from olfactory cells are endemic in some parts of the world for unknown reason
| |
| − | *May be caused by a virus?
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ===Progressive ethmoidal haematoma===
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Slowly expanding non-neoplastic mass of horses
| |
| − | *Originates from submucosa of ethmoidal labyrinth
| |
| − | *Either from nasal or sinusal portion of ethmoid labyrinth
| |
| − | *Unilateral, can extend to nostrils or choanae
| |
| − | *Rarely elsewhere in sinuses
| |
| − | *Expands to nasal cavity, [[Paranasal Sinuses Hyperplastic and Neoplastic - Pathology|paranasal sinuses]], [[Nasopharynx Hyperplastic and Neoplastic - Pathology|nasopharynx]] causing destruction of tissue
| |
| − | *Micro - haemorrhage, calcification of connective tissue fibres
| |
| − | *[[Aspergillus spp.|''Aspergillus'' spp.]] may be present on the lesion
| |
| − | *May cause [[Respiratory System Clinical Signs - Pathology#Epistaxis|epistaxis]]
| |
| − | *Can recur after surgical excision
| |
| − | *May arise subsequently to [[Rhinitis#Chronic rhinitis|chronic inflammation]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ===Nasal polyps===
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Polypoid thickening of the inflamed nasal musosa, hyperplastic epithelium
| |
| − | *Pinkish, often pedunculated masses, round, often large and multiple proturberences into the nasal meatus
| |
| − | *Can arise subsequently to [[Rhinitis#Chronic rhinitis|chronic inflammation]]
| |
| − | *Old polyps may becoma fibrous
| |
| − | *May recur when excised
| |
| − | *Necessary to distinguish from neoplasia
| |
| − | *Common in cats, less often in dogs, also horses and sheep
| |
| − | *Also see [[Nasal Cavity Hyperplastic and Neoplastic - Pathology#Progressive ethmoidal haematoma|Progressive haematoma]] of horses and [[Nasopharynx Hyperplastic and Neoplastic - Pathology#Nasopharyngeal polyps of cats|Nasopharyngeal polyps]] of cats
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ===Nasal and paranasal sinus cysts===
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Mimic infection or neoplasms
| |
| − | *Expand and destroy surrounding tissue
| |
| − | *Epithelial capsule with haemorrhagic or yellow fluid
| |
| − | *Do not tend to recur after surgery
