Abdominal Lipomatosis with Secondary Self-Strangulation of Masses in an Adult Rhesus Macaque (Macaca mulatta)

An 10-y-old, intact male rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) presented for bilateral scrotal swelling and a distended abdomen. A soft mass in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen was palpated. A barium study did not reveal any gastrointestinal abnormalities. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a large (1.25 kg, 15.0 × 13.0 × 9.5 cm), red and tan, soft, circumscribed, spherical mass within the greater omentum and 10 to 20 smaller (diameter, 1 to 4 cm), soft to firm masses in the mesentery and greater omentum. The resected mass was a self-strangulating abdominal lipoma, a pedunculated neoplasm composed of white adipocytes arising from peritoneal adipose tissue undergoing secondary coagulation necrosis after strangulation of the blood supply due to twisting of the mass around the peduncle. The smaller masses were histologically consistent with simple or self-strangulating pedunculated abdominal lipomas. The macaque presented again 9 mo later with a firm, 5.0-cm mass in the midabdomen, with intestinal displacement visible on radiographs. Given this animal''s medical history and questionable prognosis, euthanasia was elected. Necropsy revealed numerous, multifocal to coalescing, 1.0- to 15.0-cm, pale tan to yellow, circumscribed, soft to firm, spherical to ellipsoid, pedunculated masses that were scattered throughout the mesentery, greater omentum, lesser omentum, and serosal surfaces of the gastrointestinal tract. All of the masses were pedunculated abdominal lipomas, and most demonstrated coagulation necrosis due to self-strangulation of the blood supply. To our knowledge, this report is the first to describe abdominal lipomatosis with secondary self-strangulation of masses in a rhesus macaque.Lipomas have been reported frequently in veterinary medicine as benign subcutaneous neoplasms in canines¹⁶ or as pedunculated peritoneal masses with the potential to cause intestinal strangulation in geriatric horses.⁶ Abdominal lipomatosis (multiple abdominal lipomas) in humans and dogs had been reported only rarely and have been accompanied by clinical signs of abdominal distention with or without secondary gastrointestinal complications.¹⁶ Lipomas of the skin of nonhuman primates have affected a patas monkey, an African green monkey, rhesus macaques, and chimpanzees. Lipomas within the peritoneal cavity have been diagnosed rarely in nonhuman primates. Reported cases include an omental lipoma in a mona monkey and an adrenal lipoma in a hamadryas baboon.¹⁴ Here we report the clinical signs, postmortem examination, and histopathologic features of abdominal lipomatosis in a rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta).     

经阴道彩超联合腹部超声在异位妊娠中的诊治分析

目的：与经阴道彩超检查相比较探讨经阴道彩超联合腹部超声检查在异位妊娠中的诊治价值。方法：选取我院2009 年3月至2012 年12 月之间诊治的136 例疑为异位妊娠患者,其中70 例经阴道彩超联合腹部超声诊断,66 例经阴道彩超诊断,采用SPSS13.0 统计学软件对数据进行统计学分析,所有计数资料均行x2检验,以P〈0.05 为差异有统计学意义。结果：在70 例经阴道彩超联合腹部超声检查的病例中,有68 人与手术结果相符合,诊断符合率达97.10%,1 例误诊,1 例漏诊;在另外66 例经阴道彩超检查患者中,有59例与手术结果相符合,诊断符合率为89.40%,6 例误诊,1 例漏诊。结论：经阴道彩超与经腹部超声的联合相对于经阴道彩超而言,诊断的准确率有所提高,决定这一结果的关键因素在于腹部超声减少了误诊例数。
