Abstract
in English, German, French, Italian

Reports on bovine colon polyps are rare. The present report demonstrates macro- and microscopically hyperplastic colon polyps of a seven-year-old German Simmental cow. Differential diagnoses (adenoma and adenocarcinoma) and aetiology are discussed. Even in cattle, intestinal polyps should be considered as a cause of intussusception.

Berichte über Dickdarmpolypen des Rindes sind selten. Der vorliegende Bericht demonstriert makro- und mikroskopisch hyperplastische Kolonpolypen eines sieben Jahre alten weiblichen Rindes der Rasse Deutsches Fleckvieh. Die Differenzialdiagnosen (Adenom und Adenokarzinom) und die Ätiologie werden diskutiert. Selbst beim Rind sollten Darmpolypen als Ursache einer Darminvagination in Betracht gezogen werden.

Les rapports concernant des polypes du colon chez les bovins sont rares. Le présent rapport fait état de polypes du côlon macro- et microscopiquement hyperplasiques chez une vache Simmental allemande de sept ans. Les diagnostics différentiels (adénome et adénocarcinome) et l’étiologie sont discutés. Même chez les bovins, les polypes intestinaux doivent être considérés comme une cause d’invagination.

Le segnalazioni di polipi del colon dei bovini sono rare. Il presente rapporto conferma la presenza di polipi iperplastici macro e microscopici del colon in una bovina di sette anni della razza tedesca Fleckvieh. Vengono discusse le diagnosi differenziali (adenoma e adenocarcinoma) e l’eziologia. Anche nei bovini, i polipi intestinali devono essere considerati una causa di intussuscezione.
