Abstract

This study aims to report a case of pancreatic fibrosis describing the clinical and anatomopathological aspects involved in the disease in a 9-year-old female poodle. The animal was attended at a Veterinary Hospital showing peaks of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, with no response to insulin treatment, and poor prognosis. In the autopsy exam, the main findings were pancreatic atrophy and fibrosis, suppurative and emphysematous cystitis, steatosis and hepatocellular glycogenic degeneration. By using histochemical methods, it was possible to identify the deposition/replacement of the pancreatic interstitium by fibrotic tissue.
