Sažetak
During the end of June 1995 two yearling ewes delivered from flock counting over 200 animals were admited to our Institute with diagnostic purposes. Namely, several dozens of animals died during last few months in the flock, and all of them had a history of progresive respiratory difficulties. Complete autopsy of both animals was performed, and pertinent samples were studied by histopathological, microbiological and parasitological mean. In both animals the lungs were markedly enlarged, heavy, and failed to collapse when removed from chest cavity. Scattered throughout the lungs were multiple, uneven sized, grayish areas protruding somewhat over the pleural surface. On the cut surface the masses were seen to be of similar gray-bluish color and were expanding into, and compressing the normal lung tissue in a form of solid circumscribed masses. Histopathologically the masses were composed of tissue where much of alveolar lumina was obliterated by cellular infiltrates and of formation of large numbers of tubule like structures in the lung parenchyma, characterized by folds of multylayered round cells with abudant eosinophilic granular to foamy cytoplasm. Microbiological and parasitological examinations failed to reveal any causative agent. Based on presented history and patognomonic morphological results and supported by negative microbiological and parasitological findings a pulmonary adenomatosis of the sheep was diagnosed.
