Abstract EN
This report presents a case of two smooth muscle hamartomas of the stomach in a 10-year-old male Boxer.
The clinical history of the animal was of chronic vomiting, weight loss, and intermittent gastric distension, and it died because of chronic and congestive heart failure.
Gross, histology, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) exams were performed.
On necropsy, in the pyloric region of the stomach, two closely related polypoid growths between 10 and 15 mm in diameter were identified.
On the cut sections, both polyps presented white to gray color, with homogenous architecture and well-defined limits.
The thickness of the submucosal layer was seen to be increased to 1 cm.
No other gastric alterations were identified by the necropsy exam.
Histologically, both masses growth consisted of hyperplastic glands lined by foveolar epithelium, arranged in a papillary or branching pattern, and supported by a core of well-vascularised and marked smooth muscle tissue interspersed between glands.
No dysplastic cells and mitotic figures were observed in these lesions.
Immunohistochemistry revealed a strong cytoplasm labelling for smooth muscle actin of the bundles around the mucosal glands.
To our knowledge, this is the first report of smooth muscle hamartomas mimicking multiple gastric polyps in dogs.
