Basal cell tumors in dogs

A C Strafuss

    Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association
    |August 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Basal cell tumors are a common skin cancer in dogs, often found on the head, neck, or shoulders. Surgical removal is effective, though some tumors may recur without spreading.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Canine Oncology
    • Dermatopathology

    Background:

    • Basal cell tumors are a significant neoplastic condition in domestic animals.
    • Understanding the prevalence and characteristics of these tumors in dogs is crucial for effective management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the incidence and characteristics of basal cell tumors in a canine population.
    • To identify common locations and recurrence rates of these neoplasms in dogs.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of neoplasm registry records from Kansas State University (1961-1971).
    • Analysis of 140 cases of basal cell tumors across 32 dog breeds.
    • Surgical excision and biopsy for all reported tumors.

    Main Results:

    • Basal cell tumors constituted 4.3% of all recorded neoplasms (140 out of 3,230).
    • The mean age of affected dogs was 6.4 years.
    • The head, neck, and shoulder were the primary sites (61%) for tumor occurrence.
    • Recurrence without metastasis was observed in 10 dogs, necessitating further surgical intervention.

    Conclusions:

    • Basal cell tumors are a notable subset of canine neoplasms.
    • Surgical intervention is the primary treatment, with a possibility of local recurrence.
    • Further investigation into risk factors and long-term outcomes is warranted.
