Myocardial epithelial inclusions in a Holstein calf
Authors
Abstract:
Epithelial inclusions were detected in myocardium of a 2-month-old male Holstein calf. Microscopically,nonpurulent myocarditis along with focal tubular and acinar structures covered with cuboidal epithelial cellswas seen in the myocardium. Most tubular and acinar structures stained with Masson’s trichrome were foundto be surrounded with a dense collagen. Tubular and acinar structures had PAS positive basement membrane.Immunohistochemical staining revealed that tubular and acinar structures were both vimentin andpancytokeratin positive, while the connective tissue was only vimentin positive.

Unilateral anophthalmia in a Holstein calf was examined morphologically. On the left side, a small cystic remnant of the eye ball (CRE) was present in the orbit. The CRE was adhered to the dura mater through an abnormal foramen formed in the orbital region of the cranial base. At this region of the left cerebral hemisphere, a porencephalic change was detected. Histologically, the pigment epithe...
