Canine Intestinal Lymphangiectasia Concomitant with Renal Cell Carcinoma

The etiology of dilation of lymphatic vessels, termed as intestinal lymphangiectasia, remains unknown. In most cases, it occurs secondary to other pathologic conditions such as gastrointestinal neoplasms. However, only a few cases of canine intestinal lymphangiectasia concurrent with non-gastrointes...

The lacteals within the villi were dilated and presented “club-shaped” tips. The carcinoma might trigger intestinal lymphangiectasia by compressing the main lymphatic vessels or the cisterna chyli, subsequently increasing the pressure of the lymphatic vessels in the gastrointestinal tract. Moreover, metastasis of the carcinoma to the gastrointestinal tract could induce intestinal lymphangiectasia. Thus, the occurrence of intestinal lymphangiectasia must be considered when an abdominal neoplasm is located around major lymphatic vessels.Lee Eun-JooChung Myung-JinJeong Kyu-ShikSciendoarticleintestinal lymphangiectasiarenal cell carcinomalymph drainagedogVeterinary medicineSF600-1100ENActa Veterinaria, Vol 71, Iss 3, Pp 351-360 (2021)
