Abstract
Shaterzadeh-Yazdi H, Memarian P, Baghaee-Moghadam
E, Dehghanpisheh P., Subcutaneous lipoma with osseous
metaplasia (osteolipoma) in a cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus). Onl J Vet Res., 21(2):58-61, 2017. A
5-year-old female cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus) with
a unilaterally hanging wing, restricted movement and
discomfort revealed a yellowish, solid mass measuring ~2Î2Î2 cm3
at the carpal region under the left wing. Surgical resection of the mass was
recommended and the entire mass and surrounding necrotic soft tissue were
removed for microscopy. The benign tumor consisted of well-differentiated
adipocytes with foci of bony trabeculae and spicules.We
diagnosed the tumor as a subcutaneous lipoma with osseous metapelasia
(osteolipoma). This tumor has not been reported and
may represent an unusual case of mesenchymal tumors with osseous metaplasia in
a bird.
Key words: Subcutaneous
lipoma, osseous metaplasia, osteolipoma, cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus)
