Local extensive granulomatous inflammation of the neck region and lymphangitis caused by Lichtheimia corymbifera infection in a Japanese Black calf

A 7-month-old female Japanese Black calf developed elongated, nodular mass measuring 30 × 16 cm extended from the retropharyngeal region to mid lateral neck region. Histological examination revealed granulomatous lymphangitis with non-septate fungal hyphae recognized throughout the lesions. Fungal c...

Sumario:A 7-month-old female Japanese Black calf developed elongated, nodular mass measuring 30 × 16 cm extended from the retropharyngeal region to mid lateral neck region. Histological examination revealed granulomatous lymphangitis with non-septate fungal hyphae recognized throughout the lesions. Fungal culture, DNA sequencing and molecular phylogenetic tree analysis confirmed the sequence of Lichtheimia corymbifera. The lymphogenous route was speculated to be the main route of fungal spread leading to the characteristic nodular appearance of this case.
