Oropharyngeal tumors between 1977 to 2005 at dog and cats: a retrospective study

Abstract

The aim of the study was to evaluate dog (80 cases) and cat’s (13 cases) oropharyngeal biopsy/operation materials, which were sent as tumor suspicion from Ankara University Veterinary Faculty Clinics and Private Clinics to Pathology Department between the years of 1977 to 2005. These tumors were frequently seen in dogs between 6-10 years, at the Terrier, Mongrel, Boxer, Shepherds breeds (Kangal and German), while cats were between 1-5 years, at the Tekir, Mongrel and Siamese breeds. Most of the dog tumors were diagnosed as epulides and papillomas (26.3%) and mostly affected regions were the gingiva (21.3%), submandibular area (17.5%) and lips (15%). Cat tumors were diagnosed as epulides (23.1%), plasmacytomas (15.4%) and other tumors (61.5%) and they were frequently located at the submandibular area (38.5%), gingiva (30.8%) and palate (23.1%)

Köpek ve kedilerde 1977-2005 yılları arasında saptanan orofaringeal bölge tümörleri: retrospektif çalışma

Bu tümörler köpeklerde sıklıkla 6-10 yaşlarında, Terrier, Melez, Boxer, Kangal ve Kurt ırklarında; kedilerde ise 1-5 yaşlarında, Tekir, Yerli ve Siyam ırklarında gözlendi. Köpeklerde saptanan tümörler çoğunlukla epulis ve papillomlar olup (%26.3) en fazla etkilenen bölgeler dişeti (%21.3), submandibular bölge (%17.5) ve dudaklardı (%15). Kedilerde saptanan tümörler ise epulis (% 23.1), plazmasitom (%15.4) ve diğer tümörler (%61.5) olup, sıklıkla submandibular bölge (%38.5), dişeti (%30.8) ve damakta (%23.1) lokalize olmuştu
