PG - 1373-1377 LID - 10.1002/vms3.842 [doi] AB - This report describes a spinal cord epidural and synovial lipomatosis in a 3-year-old neutered male Eurasian dog. This dog presented for ambulatory paraparesis and was previously treated with immunosuppressive dosages of prednisolone for 2 years. Computed tomography (CT) myelography and magnetic resonnance imaging (MRI) images identified dorsal compression of the thoraco-lumbar spinal cord by hypertrophic epidural fat. Histological examination identified extensive well-differentiated mature adipose tissue in the subepithelial area of the tarsal synovium. Prednisolone is a reported predisposing factor in humans with lipomatosis. CI - (c) 2022 The Authors. Veterinary Medicine and Science published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
