Online published on 26 July, 2017. Abstract Space occupying lesions like granulomas, polyps etc. were recorded in cow (n=1), bullocks (n=6), she buffaloes (n=2) and ethmoid tumor in a ewe (n=1). Bilateral nasal granulomas were positive for nasal schistosomiasis. Epistaxis was observed in buffaloes with nasal granuloma. Surgical extirpation and electro cautery were adopted to excise the growths. Following excision, no recurrence was observed. Histologically, severe inflammatory infiltrate, fibroplasia and densely packed collagen fibres were observed. Top Keywords Ethmoid tumor, granuloma, nasal polyp, schistosomiasis. Top |
