Grain Foreign Body Embedded in the Spleen and Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Anemia in a Maltese Dog

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

An 8-month-old, intact male Maltese dog was referred to us because of anorexia, diarrhea, and jaundice.
Hematologic examination revealed immune-mediated hemolytic anemia, and abdominal ultrasonography revealedheterogeneous changes in mesenteric fat and coarse echotexture in the splenic parenchyma. Septic peritonitis wasdiagnosed on the basis of a bacterial culture test of the peritoneal fluid. Exploratory laparotomy and subsequent omentalbiopsy and splenectomy were performed. On histopathological examination, the omental mass and splenic lesions werediagnosed as grain foreign body granulomas. This report describes a rare case in which a grain foreign body wasembedded in the spleen of a dog.
