Resumen
- español
El nefroblastoma espinal es una neoplasia infrecuente en el perro. Se diagnostica en animales jóvenes, afectando, casi exclusivamente, al segmento medular T10-L2. En este trabajo, se describen los signos clínicos, resultados de las pruebas complementarias y los hallazgos histopatológicos de un perro con un nefroblastoma espinal.

A clinical case of canine spinal nephroblastoma is described. A 14-month-old Rottweiler dog was presented for diagnosis of progressive hind limb paresis and ataxia. Based on the neurological examination, a T3 -L3 spinal cord lesion was suspected. Plan radiographs of the spinal column were unremarkable, cerebrospinal fl uid revealed a mild increase of protein concentration (33 mg/dl) with a normal cell count, and a myelogram outlined an intradural-extramedular mass of the spinal cord at T13-L1 . At this moment, the owner rejected to continue with therapy and chose to have the dog euthanized. Histologically, the mass was composed of tubules and acini lined with epithelial cells having little cytoplasm. These epithelial cells were occasionally invaginated into a central lumen, resembling embryonic glomeruli. A diagnosis of spinal nephroblastoma was made on the basis of signalment, lesion location and histopatological analysis. The diagnosis, treatment and pathology of canine spinal nephroblastoma are discussed.
