頸位腫瘤開始慢慢發大,腫瘤大約雞蛋side,如動手術是否接近大動脈, 手術是否很大困難, 因vet只說現在只考慮做與不做手術問題,其他沒有再多說有關手術危險問題.
history from VET
A large submandibular "turmour" of more than 4 years duration was removed as much as possible from a dog, but it was attached to surrounding tissues and the surgical site was difficult. the interim report indicated that an inflammatory granuloma likely, a neoplasm was possible, but it is not at all typical. Special stains have now been examined, including a PAS stain for fungi, ZN for acid-fast bacilli, and a grams stain for bacteria.
Histopathology result
All special stains were negative as expected, which was not diagnostically helpful.
Diagnosis
An inflammatory granuloma remains the most likely cause of the lesion. The prognosis is slightly guarded, but hopeful that the surgery will be curative.
