[Oral aspergillosis in a goat--a stomatologic problem. Case report]

This report describes a case of chronic and granulomatous proliferation in the lower jaw of a six-year-old female Saanen goat due to Aspergillae spp. Within the granulomatous lesion, foreign body and Langhans type giant cells were present in addition to the common granuloma components, such as lymphocytes, epithelioid cells and fibroblasts. Hyphae with a configuration typical of Aspergillae spp. could be demonstrated within the lesions by the use of special stains. The prognosis of this disease in the advanced stage is poor.
