The aim of the
present study was to determine different kinds of cysts present
on the body surface of some farm animals with special reference
to diagnosis and treatment. The present work was carried out on
a total number of 94 animals of different species (Buffaloes=5,
Cattle=18, Sheep=5, Goat=34, Camel=13, Horse=5 and Donkey=14)
suffering from different kinds of cysts on the body surface. All
cases were collected during periodical visits to veterinary
clinics in 168 villages at 14 provinces in Egypt during the
period from 1994 to 2007. Diagnosis was established depending on
case history, location, clinical signs, exploratory puncture and
histopathological examination of excised cysts. Different kinds
of cysts on the body surface were diagnosed namely; Dermoid
(36), Branchial (7), Dentigerous (2), Tassel or Wattle (32),
Thyroid (15) and Interdigital (2). Aspiration and injection of
medicaments were performed for treatment of thyroid cysts;
incision and evacuation were applied for treatment of dermoid
cysts while surgical excision was done for many cysts such as
branchial, dentigerous, tassel, interdigital and some dermoids.
The results of treatment were encouraging without postoperative
complications. In conclusion we can state that different
varieties of cysts were observed on body surface in some farm
animals and nearly all of them can be managed. The work was
supplied by many colored photographs. Key words; cysts - body
surface.
