RESUMO
Foram analisados os arquivos do laboratório de Patologia Animal do Hospital Veterinário da UFU de janeiro de 2000 a dezembro de 2010, selecionando protocolos referentes a biopsias cutâneas de cães coletando-se as seguintes informações diagnóstico morfológico, localização anatômica, idade, sexo e raça dos cães, com o objetivo de realizar um estudo epidemiológico. Foram diagnosticados 549 tumores cutâneos em 543 cães, sendo que 281 cães eram machos e 247 fêmeas. Cães adultos e idosos foram os mais acometidos, assim como os cães sem raça definida, Poodle, Boxer, Pit Bull e Dashchund. Os tumores malignos prevaleceram com 65,39% dos casos, sendo os de origem epitelial os mais frequentes. O carcinoma de células escamosas foi a neoplasia predominante, seguido pelo mastocitoma e histiocitoma. Com relação á localização anatômica prevaleceu as regiões do abdômen (19,49%), cabeça (16,40%) e membros (15,30%). Não houve diferença na probabilidade de apresentar tumor cutâneo com relação ao sexo, porém considerando-se os tipos de tumores há maior probabilidade da população canina apresentar carcinoma de células escamosas e mastocitomas em detrimento dos outros tipos de tumores cutâneos.
ABSTRACT
We analyzed the archives of the Animal Pathology Laboratory of the Federal University of Uberlândia Veterinary Hospital from 2000 to 2010 with the aim of conducting an epidemiological study. Protocols for skin biopsies of dogs were selected and the following information was collected morphological diagnosis, anatomical location, age, gender, and breed. Five hundred forty-nine skin tumors were diagnosed in 543 dogs, of which 281 were males and 247 were females. Adult and older dogs were the most affected, and mongrel dogs, Poodles, Boxers, Pit Bulls, and Dashchunds were the most frequent breeds. Malignant tumors were present in 65.39% dogs, and most tumors were derived from epithelial cells. Squamous cell carcinoma was the predominant neoplasia, followed by mast cell tumors and histiocytoma. With respect to the anatomic location, the abdomen (19.49%), head (16.40%), and limbs (15.30%) were the most frequently affected. Gender did not influence the probability of having a cutaneous tumor. With regard to tumor type, the canine population was more susceptible to squamous and mast cell tumors than to other skin tumors.
