REGIONAL MASTECTOMY DUE TO MAMMARY ADENOMA IN A LABRADOR BITCH


Keywords:
Mammary gland, Labrador, Mammary adenoma, Regional mastectomyAbstract
Mammary tumors are common in intact female animals. A nine year old intact, Labrador bitch was presented with a history of progressive swelling on the right inguinal mammary glands. Upon physical examination, it was tentatively diagnosed as a mammary tumor and confirmed with fine needle aspiration cytology as a mammary adenoma. A regional mastectomy was performed to remove the affected glands along with right inguinal lymph node. The bitch made an uneventful recovery with the resolution of clinical signs.
