Abstract

Breast tumors in cats rank third in the series of tumors diagnosed in this species. About half of mammary tumors in dogs are malignant, whereas in cats, the odds reach 90%, which makes a detailed examination of the mammary chain essential, especially in cases of animals submitted to simple mastectomies with a history of tumors. This study will aim to analyze the clinical and anatomopathological aspects of a case of tubulopapillary carcinoma in a cat, mixed-breed, 9 years old, white coat, spayed. The animal was admitted to the Veterinary Hospital in the city of Bayeux, Paraíba, with a history of nodulation in the left abdominal breast, and circumscribed volume increase with a cystic aspect in the subcutaneous tissue in the neighboring region. Puncture of the subcutaneous cyst revealed a large volume of a viscous light-yellow-colored liquid, which was centrifuged and prepared in slides stained with rapid panoptic for cytological analysis. The anatomopathological study proposes to build information on the histogenesis of this tumor as well as its morphology, and thus contribute to the clinical oncology of felines with regards to tumor staging and increased patient survival.
