Neoplasia mamária canina com múltiplas metástases

Abstract

Canine mammary tumors are known for their structural complexity, for the high degree of histological heterogeneity, and represent over 52% of all neoplasms that affect canine females, 50% of which are malignant. The population with the greatest susceptibility is made up of middle-aged to elderly animals, without racial predisposition. Understanding the biological behavior of canine mammary neoplasms allows the identification of patients with similar clinical evolution and facilitates the determination of specific therapeutic measures. The present report describes the case of a female dog, SRD, 11 years old, who presented several metastatic nodules of a malignant mixed mammary gland tumor, reaching different organs, including the central nervous system.
