Morphologic diagnosis:
Skin (comb): Multifocal hyperplasia with ulceration.
Clinical description:
In this photograph, a late stage of the cutaneous (dry) form of avian pox is illustrated in the comb. Pox virus is slow-spreading and skin lesions change over a period of approximately 2-8 weeks. Lesions progress from nodules, to small white foci, papules, vesicles, scabs (seen here), and eventually scars.
Pathologic description:
The comb of this chicken is covered by multiple, well-demarcated raised nodules. The nodules are pale tan, to slightly yellow and the majority of them are centrally ulcerated and covered by dark scabs.
