ABSTRACT
Entre las enfermedades que acometen los genitales externos de toros, la acropostitis-fimosismerece especial atención. En algunos casos puede acarrear un comprometimiento severo de lamucosa del pliegue interior del prepucio, hecho que puede inviabilizar la cirugía. De entre lascomplicaciones, cuando se opta por la cirugía, la afectación de la extremidad libre del pene nose ha contemplado como secuela frecuente. Este trabajo objetiva describir los hallazgosclínicos e histopatológicos de un caso poco común de estenosis y fibrosis del folleto prepucialinterno con consecuente necrosis de la extremidad libre del pene, como complicaciónposterior a la cirugía de acropostitis-fimosis. Durante el procedimiento fueron recolectadosfragmentos de las áreas lesionadas para examen histopatológico. No fue posible efectuar lacorrección quirúrgica de la fimosis del prepucio, siendo necesaria la amputación de unfragmento del pene. El procedimiento fue respaldado por los hallazgos histopatológicos,confirmatorios de la gravedad del caso.
Among the diseases that affect the external genitalia of bulls, the acropostite-phimosisdeserves emphasi. In some cases, can be diagnosed severe mucosal involvement of theinternal leaflet preputial which can cripple surgery. Among the complications, when optingfor surgery, is the compromising the free end of the penis that has not been appointed ascommon sequela. This paper aims to describe the clinical and histopathological findings of anunusual case of stenosis and fibrosis of the inner preputial leaflet with resultant necrosis of thefree end of the penis, as complications after surgery acropostite - phimosis. During theprocedure, fragments of damaged areas for histopathology analysis were collected. Unable tosurgical correction of the prepuce phimosis, amputation of penile segment was required. Theprocedure was backed by histopathologic findings that confirmed the gravity of the case.

ABSTRACT
The type of podal lesion varies according to the disease and several factors may be considered as determinants of high prevalence in breeding stocks. It severity is often attributed to the extension of the lesion and the impairment of structures that compose the hoof. However, clinically, it is noted that digital lesions that appear to a have mild or moderate tissue impairment area are identified as causing severe lameness in cattle. It is worth noting that the economic losses caused by this disease often go unnoticed by producers, a fact that is worrying, since the values are generally high. The objective with this paper was the analysis of epidemiological data of podal diseases in dairy cows, evaluating the influence of the different types and severity of those lesions, correlating them to the type and degree of lameness. The work was conducted in the Southwest of the State of Goiás in ten dairy farms and 190 Holstein, Jersey and mixed breed cows affected by different digital lesions were used. Scores for lameness and podal diseases were established. The data allowed to point out that digital dermatitis was the disease with higher incidence and the right pelvic limb, the most affected. In addition, digital lesions that are usually considered severe are not always responsible for severe lameness.
