Multiple cartilaginous exostoses in the dog.

P C Gambardella, C A Osborne, J B Stevens

    Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association
    |April 15, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Multiple cartilaginous exostoses (MCE) in dogs primarily affect bones formed by endochondral ossification, with vertebrae, ribs, and long bones being common sites. Definitive diagnosis requires microscopic evaluation, and treatment is only necessary if clinical complications arise.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Pathology
    • Comparative Oncology

    Background:

    • Multiple cartilaginous exostoses (MCE) is a skeletal disorder affecting dogs.
    • Understanding the clinicopathologic features of MCE is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare clinicopathologic aspects of MCE in two dogs with previously reported cases.
    • To identify common locations, potential predisposing factors, and diagnostic criteria for canine MCE.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinicopathologic data from two canine MCE cases were analyzed.
    • Data were compared with nine previously reported cases of MCE in dogs.
    • Histopathological evaluation of osseous lesions was performed.

    Main Results:

    • MCE predominantly affects bones formed by endochondral ossification, including vertebrae, ribs, and long bones.

  • No significant sex or breed predilection was observed, though a familial tendency is probable.
  • Carpal, tarsal, and skull bones were not affected in the evaluated cases.

    • Conclusions:

    • Physical examination and radiography support MCE diagnosis, but definitive diagnosis requires histopathology.
    • Treatment is indicated only when exostosis growth causes clinical sequelae.
    • Prognosis varies based on lesion location, number, patient age, and complications.
