Mammary Mastectomy Due to Mammary Gland Tumors in Intact Female Dog

Abstract

Mammary tumors are the most common type of tumors in intact female dogs. Twelve years old female exotic breed dog was presented with a history of large-sized and hard swelling around the chest on left parts of the first mammary gland. Upon clinical examination, the case was tentatively diagnosed as a mammary gland tumor and a sample from the tumor mass was taken by excision for histopathological examination and confirmation. After proper restraining, aseptic procedure, and anesthetic protocol, the tumor mass surgically excised. Finally, the dog was successfully recovered and there was no report of recurrence during the follow-up. Surgical correction of mammary tumors in a female dog was described in this case report.
