Statistics of Canine Skin Tumors in Korea during 2005-2018

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence and anatomic location of canine cutaneous tumors and the sex, age, and breed distribution of dogs with skin tumor. A total of 2,172 tumor samples submitted for histopathological diagnosis from local animal hospitals during 2005-2018 were retrieved. Formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissues were sectioned, stained, and examined. Clinical data provided by clinicians were also reviewed. Tumors with the highest incidence were sebaceous gland and modified sebaceous gland tumors (22%), follicular tumors (18%), lipoma and liposarcoma (15%), histiocytoma (10%), and mast cell tumors (9%). Gender wise distribution of patients were castrated male (31%), intact female (21%), spayed female (21%), and intact male (16%). The mean age of patients was 9.3 years. Location of lesions included limb (19%), dorsal skin (14%), perianal area (12%), foot (10%), head (7%), neck (6%), and abdominal skin (5%). The most affected breeds were shih-tzu (20%), Maltese (16%), cocker spaniel (9%), schnauzer (8%), Yorkshire terrier (7%), crossbreed (7%), and poodle (7%). In conclusion, this study provides additional information on the general incidence of canine skin tumors in Korea and the accompanying clinical signs. ©2019 PVJ.

Animal and Human Brucellosis in Pakistan

“…The use of isolation and microbiological characterization of brucellae is increasingly applied but still not widely practiced because of the lack of appropriate laboratories, trained personnel, and risk of laboratory-acquired infections; however, both B. abortus and B. melitensis have been identified by molecular/microbiological techniques (61,62). Data from advanced molecular typing techniques (e.g., SNP typing, MLVA, MLST, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing) are rare (63,64).…”

Hemangioma cutáneo canino tratado con Parvulan® (Cutibacterium acnes): Reporte de caso

“…The incidence of cutaneous neoplasm in dogs has been reported quite frequently in different parts of the world (Freitas & Forlani, 2019;García-Iglesias et al, 2020). In Brazil, epidemiological data are presented in all regions of the country in the form of hemangioma and hemangiosarcoma (malignant) neoplasms (Kim et al, 2020). With regards to hemangiomas, they manifest as benign vascular lesions, arising from cell mutations but their causes are still unknown.…”
