Botryomycosis

botryomycosis

[‚bä·trē‚mī′kō·səs] (veterinary medicine) A chronic infectious bacterial disease of horses caused by Staphylococcus aureus and characterized by localized fibromatous tumors.

Botryomycosis

a chronic, infectious disease of animals, accompanied by inflammatory thickening of dense connective tissue, sometimes resembling tumors. The disease is caused by the fungus Botryomyces ascoformans and is localized mainly in places where a harness touches the skin, on the stump of the spermatic cord, and in the muscles, lymph nodes, and udder. The disease affects horses and, less frequently, cattle, sheep, and pigs. The economic loss is insignificant. The treatment is surgical. Preventive measures call for keeping the animals under hygienic conditions.

botryomycosis

[bot″re-o-mi-ko´sis] a chronic purulent granulomatous bacterial infection usually caused by Staphylococcus aureus. Human infection is usually localized to the skin but may involve other organs such as the viscera and lymph nodes, especially in debilitated patients.

bot·ry·o·my·co·sis

(bot'rē-ō-mī-kō'sis), A chronic granulomatous condition of horses, cattle, swine, and humans, usually involving the skin but occasionally also the viscera, and characterized by granules in the pus, consisting of masses of bacteria, generally staphylococci but sometimes other types, surrounded by a hyaline capsule that sometimes exhibits clublike bodies around its periphery; the anatomic structure of the lesion resembles that of actinomycosis and mycetoma. Synonym(s): actinophytosis (2) [fr. Botryomyces]

botryomycosis

A chronic bacterial infection that presents as a hardened fibrotic mass with draining sinuses and purulent granular debris; it usually affects the skin and subcutaneous tissue, but may involve the nasal cavity and sinuses, liver, lung, kidneys, brain, gastrointestinal tract and lymphoid tissue.

DiffDx
Aggressive and malignant tumours.

Management
Wide surgical evacuation is curative.
