Abstract / Zusammenfassung

Smears of a fine needle aspirate of an abdominal, intestine-associated mass in a domestic rabbit revealed abundant polymorphous cocci and rod-shaped bacteria, as well as plant material in one location. Cell structures were largely necrotic; however, some cells were consistent with mainly degenerated heterophils. Cytopathological differential diagnosis included a small intestinal pseudodiverticulum with secondary inflammation and an intestine-associated abscess. Histopathological examination confirmed an ileal pseudodiverticulum with severe inflammation.
