Cutaneous papillomatosis occurs as benign tumoral skin lesions in cattle. Although this
condition is most commonly observed in young animals, it can occur in cattle of any age.
Although tumor necrosis factor alpha, high mobility group box-1 protein, myxovirus
resistance protein-1 have been investigated in various tumoral conditions in human
medicine, the relationship between these markers and other hematological indices
have not been investigated in bovine papillomatosis with benign tumoral lesions. The
purpose of the study is to determine the levels of these markers and their relationship
with each other and with hematological indices. The study comprised two groups:
the bovine papillomatosis (BP) group, consisting of animals with papillomatosis, and
the control group, consisting of healthy animals. Each group consisted of 10 animals
of different breeds and genders with an age of 1-2 years. In the BP group, there were
significant differences in total leukocyte count, neutrophil count, monocyte count, and
neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio values, which were higher, and lymphocyte-monocyte ratio
values, which were lower. The levels of high mobility group box-1 protein, myxovirus
resistance protein-1, and tumor necrosis factor alpha were significantly higher in the BP
group compared to the control group. In conclusion, this study showed that there were
significant differences in hematological, inflammation and tumor markers in cutaneous
papillomatosis.
