Subgroup J avian leukosis virus (ALV-J), first isolated in 1989, mainly induces tumours of myeloid leukosis (ML) in meat-type chickens. In 2006, ALV-J strain SCAU-HN06 was isolated from commercial layer hens with spontaneous haemangiomas in China. To confirm its role in the induction of haemangioma, we constructed a full-length copy of the proviral genome from SCAU-HN06, recovered virus from DF-1 cells detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, characterized its growth property and investigated its pathogenicity. The recovered virus appeared to be identical to SCAU-HN06 analysed by both blast gene sequences and indirect immunofluorescence assay. It also showed similarities in growth to the parental wild-type virus in vitro. The pathogenicity of the rescued and parental virus in specific-pathogen-free White Leghorn chickens was investigated. Both SCAU-HN06 and rSCAU-HN06 could induce haemangioma, with incidence of 52% and 42.8% respectively. Overall, our findings indicated that the ALV-J strain SCAU-HN06 was the causal agent inducing haemangiomas rather than ML in certain layer chickens.

Eruptive pseudoangiomatosis (EP) is a rare cutaneous condition that usually resolves spontaneously within a few days and is more frequently seen in the pediatric age group. It is characterized by the sudden onset of asymptomatic small erythematous hemangioma-like papules encircled by a pale halo. The precise pathogenesis is unknown; however, multiple environmental triggers have been reported.

Article Synopsis
  • Splenic hemangioma is a rare benign tumor that can cause life-threatening issues if it ruptures; safe management is crucial due to the spleen's importance in immunity and blood filtration.
  • A 51-year-old patient with a large spleen hemangioma was treated successfully with embolization, preserving the spleen and avoiding complications.
  • The case report highlights the procedure's safety, symptom relief without surgery, and lower complication rates compared to traditional surgical methods, with a notable 2-year follow-up showing significant size reduction of the hemangioma.
