Surgical Management of Mammary Gland Tumor in a Queen: Case Report

Abstract

The cells that make up mammary tissue multiply abnormally, which leads to the development of mammary tumors. This problem are most commonly seen in non- spayed female cat. This case report was documented on mammary gland tumor in a cat. The age of cat was 7 years old with 3.5 kg bodyweight. That cat was free of spaying. Amoxicillin with clavulanic acid, prednisolone, povidone iodine were given previously as a medicinal treatment. The location of the tumor was below the nipple, epithelial tissue of gland. Cytology was done by Giemsa stain for confirmation of the disease. Round to cuboidal cluster of cells, less amount of cytoplasm with prominent nucleoli were recorded. The tumorous mass was removed through mastectomy. Antibiotic, pain killer, anti-histamine were given after surgery to prevent infection, irritation and pain. No complications were found after 10 days of surgery.
