This is a complex of diseases affecting skin and oral cavity mainly of cat, which include:
- Oral eosinophilic granuloma
- Linear granuloma of skin
- Eosinophilic plaque of skin
Clinical
- Any age, but usually young adults.
- Mainly affects lips, may also occasionally affect frenulum of tongue.
- Sometimes called "rodent ulcer "
- Not neoplastic - it is an inflammatory disease but is progressive and destructive.
- May see small plaque or becomes very infiltrative.
- In worst cases may erode away whole nose.
Pathogenesis
- Histologically lots of eosinophils, polymorphs.
- Exaggerated eosinophilic response.
