Background:

Cutaneous neoplasms are a significant concern in feline health.
Understanding the epidemiology of skin tumors in cats is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze the incidence and characteristics of cutaneous neoplasia in a feline population.
To identify common tumor types, their age distribution, and common locations.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of biopsy and necropsy records from 3,564 cats over 41 months.
Categorization of 18 types of skin tumors, focusing on the four most prevalent.

Main Results:

340 cases of cutaneous neoplasia were diagnosed.
Basal cell tumors (26%), mast cell tumors (21%), squamous cell carcinoma (15%), and fibrosarcoma (15%) were the most common.

Tumors predominantly affected cats over 10 years old, with mast cell tumors occurring in younger cats.

Head was the most common site for basal cell tumors, mast cell tumors, and squamous cell carcinomas; legs for fibrosarcomas.

Siamese cats showed a higher incidence of mast cell tumors and a lower incidence of squamous cell carcinomas.

Conclusions:

Basal cell tumors, mast cell tumors, squamous cell carcinoma, and fibrosarcoma are the most frequent feline skin tumors.
Age and breed (Siamese) are significant factors in the occurrence of specific feline skin tumors.
