Epidemiological and histopathological characterization of feline mammary neoplasms in Fortaleza and metropolitan region

Mammary gland, Tumors, CatsAbstract
Mammary neoplasms are one of the three most neoplasms common types in female domestic cats, with an occurrence of 20 cases and a frequency of 33.90% in animals aged 10 to 12 years. Factors such as the use of hormones, pseudocyesis, obesity, and a diet rich in lipids in the young phase may be a part of the etiology of this pathologyin cats. There is a high rate of malignancy in most feline mammary tumors, most being carcinomas corresponding to 42.86% of the cases. The most common benign neoplasms are adenomas. The prognosis is reserved for most cats, and death is usually caused by clinical effects secondary to the progression of the local disease (disease located in the mammarychain) or due to metastatic spread to vital organs. Thus, the diagnosis is of extreme importance for a good prognosis. The present work aimed at the epidemiological and histopathological characterization of mammary neoplasms in felines in the city of Fortaleza and its metropolitan region, analyzing data from 59 histopathological exams of mammary tissue samples of this species.
