Revisão de diagnósticos citopatológicos e histopatológicos de neoplasias sebáceas cutâneas entre os anos de 2010 a 2019 no Hospital Veterinário da Universidade Federal de Uberlândia

Abstract

Due to the significant increase in the longevity of domestic animals, in addition to the improvement in methods for disease diagnosis and the greater care from the animal’s guardian today, the studies of neoplasms have also advanced. Through retrospective studies it is possible to adapt the information about a certain disorder to the region it is found, bringing more scientific data to improve the life quality of these animals, with more accurate treatments and diagnostics. Given the wide occurrence of the cutaneous neoplasms in domestic animals, the present research will reassessed sebaceous neoplasms diagnosed in the period from 2010 to 2019 on the Animal Pathology Sector from de Veterinary Hospital of the Federal University of Uberlândia, with the intention of gathering more accurate data and diagnoses. After the data survey, 194 cases were obtained for the study, in which 191 were in domestic dogs. Of the total number of cases 58 initial diagnoses were altered, corresponding to 30,37% of the dog samples. Besides that, it was found that sebaceous carcinoma was the neoplasm with the highest diagnostic disagreement, and that the years of 2012 and 2017 were to the period in which there were the highest number of altered diagnoses. It was concluded that there was no associations found between the type of sebaceous neoplasm with breed, age or sex of the dogs evaluated by means of the chi-squared test for this dataset, requiring further studies.
