The current research work was undertaken to study the occurrence and pathology of cutaneous tumours in dogs and their age, breed, location and gender-wise distribution. A total of 33 samples suspected of cutaneous tumours were collected from the cases presented to Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex (TVCC), Pookode, Wayanad, Kerala during a period of 12 months from June 2022 to June 2023. Based on histopathology, most of the tumours were diagnosed as benign. Majority of the tumours were of mesenchymal origin. Among different histological types, highest occurrence was that of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and trichoblastoma followed by histiocytoma, lipoma, mast cell tumour, hepatoid gland adenocarcinoma and haemangioma. Although, the incidence was higher among males and among the dogs belonging to the age group of 5-10 years, it was not statistically significant. Among different breeds, highest occurrence was observed in Labrador Retriever followed by German Shepherd. The study also warrants large scale epidemiological studies to identify the risk factors and to unravel the etiopathogenesis of canine cutaneous neoplasms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
