An Infectious Cutaneous Fibroma Of
نویسندگان
چکیده
In September of 1952 an adult female Virginia white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) was brought to the laboratory for examination. She had been shot by a game warden in Somerset County, New Jersey, because she had been observed to have numerous masses scattered over her body, as shown in Fig. 1. These were especially plentiful over her head and neck and those about her eyes and over her eyelids were so large as to effectively deprive her of vision. Examination of this animal revealed that the masses were rounded tumor-like growths of the skin ranging from pea to grapefruit in size. They were freely movable over the underlying structures and the larger ones were pendulous and pedunculated. They were very firm and their cut surfaces were white, hard, and almost cartilaginous in consistency. Some of the growths had a deeply pigmented rind of what appeared to be thickened epithelium. Nothing of significance was evident on examination of the viscera at autopsy and especially were no lesions suggestive of metastases found.

An Infectious Cutaneous Fibroma of the Virginia White-tailed Deer (odocoileus Virginianus)
A naturally occurring cutaneous fibroma of deer has proven to be experimentally transmissible in deer. The causative agent is a virus that is readily alterable through Berkefeld N candles and that survives in fibroma tissue for at least as long as 27 months in glycerol-saline at -20 degrees C. The experimentally produced deer fibroma has an incubation period of about 7 weeks, a very slow rate o...

A papilloma has been observed in wild cottontail rabbits and has been found to be transmissible to both wild and domestic rabbits. The clinical and pathological pictures of the condition have been described. It has been found that the causative agent is readily filtrable through Berkefeld but not regularly through Seitz filters, that it stores well in glycerol, that it is still active after hea...

Myiasis is an infestation of tissues with larval stage of dipterous flies. This condition most often affects the skin and may also occur in certain body cavities. It is mainly seen in the tropics, though it may also be rarely encountered in non-tropical regions.

Odontogenic fibroma (OF) is considered an unusual, benign mesenchymal neoplasm and one of the most little-understood lesions amongst all odontogenic neoplasms. The incidence rate of the tumor is from 0% to 5.5%. WHO classified them into intraosseous or central and extraosseous or peripheral variants. It chiefly consists of fibroblastic tissue with an inconsistent amount of inactive appearing od...
