| Popis: |
We performed a retrospective study of patients diagnosed with cutaneous melanoma in the Veterinary Clinical Hospital of the Federal University of Pelotas between 2011 and 2015, which covered epidemiological, diagnostic and prognostic aspects. All data were retrieved from patient charts. Seventeen dogs were diagnosed with cutaneous melanoma and treated surgically in this period. Most of them were female mongrels with a mean age of 10.5 years. Staging was performed in 11 animals; patients in more advanced stages had worse prognoses. Surgical excision was effective in controlling the disease. The dogs that presented small tumors and no metastases at diagnosis had a higher survival rate, and therefore a better prognosis. |
