Abstract
A 10-year-old male Golden
Retriever was presented to the clinics with a history oflameness. The radiography revealed granulomatous proliferation on caput
femoris. Therefore, caput femoris was surgically removed and samples taken from
the excised area were histologically examined.Histologically, osteomyelitis was the prominent picture accompanied by
large areas of granulomatous inflammatory cells expanding from the articular
cartilage into the epiphysis of the bone and at these inflammatory areas
cryptococci were visible within the macrophages.
