Cytoloty, Neoplasm, RodentAbstract
The guinea pig (Cavia porcellus) is a small and docile rodent that is increasingly popularity as a pet. Therefore, their presence in specialized clinical care and the identification of new diseases, including neoplasms, is growing. Cytology, associated with other complementary tests, is one of the most frequently used tools in the diagnosis of neoplasms in veterinary medicine. A guinea pig was assisted at the Veterinary Hospital Sylvio Barbosa Cardoso (HVSBC) presenting a mammary nodule 5 months ago. In the cytology, the findings were suggestive of mammary adenoma. This report demonstrates the relevance of cytological diagnosis as a low-cost, low-invasiveness tool to presumptively identify a mammary adenoma in this species and thus contribute to a better clinical case management and appropriate treatment.
