Differential diagnostics of cats mammary tumours

Abstract

The article represents results of clinical and histological researches of cats mammary tumours. 79 animals from 7 months to 18 years old brought in the clinic with mammary gland tumors took part in research. Histological researches of tumors confirmed a diagnosis: benign tumors: 10 – fibroadenomatose, 4 – lobular, 6 – of adenomatose, 7 – the mixed structure, 52 malignant tumors (adenocarcinomas). Among malignant tumours the standards of infiltrative and noninfiltrative carcinoma which have tubular, papillar or solid structure, are selected. Histological researches are enable to prognosticate disease activity, and in the case of malignant tumours to plan adequate therapeutic targets for the maintainance of health of animals or for the improvement of quality of their life.
