Sebaceous Epithelioma—Intermediate Malignancy
KEY POINTS:
- Natural Immunotherapy can help the patient’s immune system shrink skin tumors
- Natural Immunotherapy usually shows a clinical response in 3 to 4 weeks
Patient:
Enzo. Age/Sex/Breed: 12-year-old male Husky Mix
Prior History:
Enzo is a large Husky cross born in November 1997. His owners adopted him in 2003, and much of his prior history is unknown.
Current History:
He has had a long history of allergic skin disease, high water intake, constant panting, soft stools, and occasional gas. He has moderate oily seborrhea and no active evidence of bacterial skin infections, but has periodically been on antibiotics for skin infections. In the past, some of his symptoms seemed to improve with food changes. He has numerous widespread tumors and nodules on his skin. A mass on his right cheek grew, and his character changed recently.
Diagnostics:
Prior food allergy screens suggested a sensitivity to wheat, corn, and turkey. Blood chemistry screens in 02/07 showed some mild azotemia, with negative Leptospirosis screens. He tested strongly positive for Plechner Syndrome. A biopsy of the right facial skin tumor revealed a Sebaceous Epithelioma (intermediate malignancy). This cell type is intermediate between adenomas and carcinomas in its behavior.
Therapy:
Vet Immune Professional Tabs started on 12/01/08.
Follow up:
01/06/09 – The tumor shrank to 2.5 cm x 2.7 cm on recheck. There was a depression in the central area of the tumor. The borders were becoming irregular, and the base was shrinking, which allowed a ruler to be slid underneath. These are signs of cell necrosis and tumor regression.
02/03/09 – The mass dimensions are unchanged, but there is a more definitive central depression and developing large cracks and fissures on the surface, indicating ongoing regression.
Assessment:
I frequently utilize the Vet Immune Professional Tabs to shrink skin tumors before surgical removal, primarily if they are located in a difficult-to-excise location. In Enzo’s case, because of other ongoing issues, we’re allowing for ongoing tumor regression in hopes of avoiding general anesthesia and surgery to remove the mass. Hopefully, in time, we’ll be able to use just a local anesthetic and remove the tumor at the narrowed base. In the meantime, we are improving his overall level of Health and Wellness with the nutritional ingredients in the Vet Immune Professional Tabs.
