A 21-day-old turkey presented with an intestinal diverticulum in the ileum. Histological analysis revealed progressive wall atrophy within the diverticulum, with no signs of inflammation or tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Pathology
  • Avian Medicine
  • Gastrointestinal Histology

Background:

  • Intestinal diverticula are uncommon congenital or acquired outpouchings of the intestinal wall.
  • Understanding their pathogenesis and histological features is crucial for diagnosing gastrointestinal abnormalities in poultry.
  • This case report details a specific instance in a young turkey.

Observation:

  • A 21-day-old British United Turkey of America exhibited an intestinal diverticulum.
  • The diverticulum was located on the mesenteric surface of the ileum.
  • It involved all layers of the intestinal wall.

Findings:

  • The diverticulum's general structure mimicked the normal ileum.
  • Progressive atrophy of the diverticular wall was observed.

  • No evidence of metaplasia, inflammation, or neoplastic changes was present.

    • Implications:

    • This finding contributes to the limited literature on intestinal diverticula in turkeys.
    • Highlights the importance of detailed histological examination for identifying subtle pathological changes.
    • Provides a reference for comparative pathology in avian gastrointestinal disorders.
