Abstract
A retrospective study was performed to characterize 64 cases of anal sac gland carcinoma (ASGC) in cats. All ASGCs diagnosed between 1995 and 2007 at a private diagnostic laboratory in the UK were reviewed. Apocrine gland origin was confirmed in a subset of these tumors by immunohistochemistry and t...

Abstract
Stained cytological specimens from 7 canine anal sac gland adenomas and 11 canine anal sac gland carcinomas were analyzed by computer-assisted nuclear morphometry. In each case, the nuclei of at least 100 neoplastic cells were measured, and the mean nuclear area (MNA), mean nuclear perimeter (MNP),...

Abstract
A seven-year-old, neutered male ferret was referred to our hospital with two perianal masses (2.4x3.0 and 2.4x3.5 cm, respectively) that had recurred after initial surgical excision. Complete resection of the masses was impossible as there was deep invasion along the rectum. On histopathology, the m...

Abstract
We describe the successful treatment of an incompletely excised ASGC by using cisplatin selectively driven within the tumor cells by trains of biphasic pulses. The dog received two courses of electrochemotherapy 14 days apart. Neither systemic nor local toxicities were detected during the whole cour...

Abstract
We describe the outcome of a small cohort of canine patients with perianal tumors treated with bleomycin selectively driven by trains of biphasic pulses (electrochemotherapy). Twelve canine patients, eight with adenoma and four with carcinoma of the perianal glands, entered the study and received tw...

Abstract
A perianal mass in a 15-year-old domestic shorthair cat with a history of a firm, painful swelling in the left ventrolateral perianal region was surgically excised and submitted for light microscopic evaluation. Histologically, this was a poorly demarcated, unencapsulated, multilobulated neoplasm th...

Abstract
These results demonstrate that increased AR expression is maintained throughout perianal gland cancer progression and that hepatoid gland carcinomas still express AR. Although further studies may be required to evaluate the hormonal background of these diseases, dogs bearing those carcinomas might b...

Abstract
No surgical complications occurred. Three dogs were euthanatized; median survival, 20.6 months. One dog was alive for 19 months postoperatively. One dog had 5 sequential surgical procedures: 1 iliac lymphadenectomy and 4 debulking procedures of metastatic neoplastic tissue around and dorsal to the i...

Abstract
This study was conducted to distinguish canine perianal gland carcinomas from adenomas using monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). The adenomas generally retain the lobular architecture, but some may contain focal areas of cellular pleomorphism. These changes may suggest malignant transformation and have le...

Abstract
A retrospective study of anal sac tumours without pulmonary metastases, from the author's clinical records for the period July 1989 to July 2002, was conducted to establish the response to treatment with surgery and melphalan chemotherapy. Of 21 dogs with tumours of the anal sacs 19 had apocrine gla...

Abstract
Responses to treatment were assessed 4 weeks after the therapy; 82% of all tumors treated with electrochemotherapy responded with objective response (OR) (complete response (CR)=41%, partial response (PR)=41%), 16% responded with no change (NC) and 1 tumor (2%) went to progressive disease (PD). At t...

Sex distribution was approximately equal (54% female, 46% male). One hundred four dogs underwent treatment consisting of surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or multimodal treatment. Median survival for treated dogs was 544 days (range, 0 to 1,873 days). Dogs treated with chemotherapy alone had...

Abstract
Tumors of the perianal area of dogs are common and include multiple tumor types. Whereas perianal adenomas occur often, adenocarcinomas of the apocrine glands of the anal sac occur less frequently. A review of the literature revealed no reports of squamous cell carcinomas arising from the epithelial...

Abstract
Survival of patients with PPD treated by WLE was higher than that for those treated with LE. Thus, wide local excision is recommended over limited local excision as a preferred treatment for PPD. Follow-up longer than 5 years seems to be indicated because of the risk of late progression to invasive...

Abstract
Highly conserved regions of the tumour suppressor gene p53, including the typical human tumour hot spots (codons 175, 245, 248, 249, 273 and 282), were investigated in various canine neoplasms. A mutation CGG-->TGG (arginine-->tryptophan) was detected in codon 249 in an adenoma of the circumanal gla...
