Abstract

Peripheral neuroblastoma was found in a 1-year-old, male, Japanese black cattle (Case 1) and primitive neuroectodermal tumor was noted in 7-year-old, female, Japanese black cattle (Case 2). In Case 1, neoplastic tissue was replaced the right cranial vault and nasopharynx. A large, soft mass approximately 18 cm in diameter was also observed in the right mandibulopharyngeal area. In Case 2, a neoplastic mass of about 15 cm in diameter was found in the mandibulopharyngeal area. Histopathologically, massive necrosis showing a pseudopalisade arrangement was frequently observed in Case 1. On the contrary, Homer & Wright rosette formations of tumor cells were prominent in Case 2. Immunohistochemically, the proliferating cells in Case 1 were positive for vimentin, S-100, and neurofilament (NF) and those in Case 2 showed intense immunoreactivity for NF and neuron specific enolase, but were negative for vimentin and S-100. The different degrees of differentiation of the neoplastic cells originating from the neuroectoderm, might be reflected in their different morphological and immunohistochemical features.
