Summary

Data is presented of the post-mortem macroscopic and microscopic examination of two Toy Poodles with multiple enchondromatosis (Oilier syndrome). In both animals opening and maturation disorders of the growth plates were found in several skeletal locations. Due to the dogs’ age difference at necropsy (14 and 4 months), some variation was also present in occurrence and appearance of primary and secondary alterations, which gave rise to some conclusions regarding development and progression of the disease. Chondrodysplasia, a characteristic of several breeds, is considered to be the essential factor in the pathogenesis of multiple enchondromatosis in the described cases.

Key words
