Abstract

In this report, clinical, radiological, macroscopic and histopathological findings of apocrine sweat gland adenocarcinoma are presented in a 13-year-old male tabby cat. In clinical examination, soft tissue masses were detected in the caudal abdomen and left tuber coxae. Upon radiological examination, subcutaneous masses with the appearence of soft tissue contrast were detected and the masses were surgically removed under general anesthesia. The sizes of the masses were approximately 2x2x3 cm in the caudal abdomen and approximately 1x1x2 cm in the tuber coxae region. The cross-section of the mass was whitish-yellow in color. After the masses were fixed in 10% formaldehyde solution, a routine histopathology procedure was applied. In histopathological examination, apocrine sweat glands in a cystic structure and extensions from the center of the cyst to the lumen were determined, and anisonucleosis, anisocytosis and anaplastic cells with giant nuclei were observed in the epithelial cells of the gland facing the lumen. A diagnosis of papillary-cystic type apocrine sweat gland adenocarcinoma was made with these findings.

Tekir Bir Kedide Apokrin Ter Bezi Adenokarsinomu Olgusu

Abstract

Bu raporda 13 yaşlı, erkek, tekir ırkı bir kedide apokrin ter bezi adenokarsinomunun klinik, radyolojik, makroskobik ve histopatolojik bulguları sunulmuştur. Klinik muayenede, abdomen ve tüber koksa bölgesinde yumuşak doku kitleleri tespit edildi. Radyolojik muayenesinde yumuşak doku kontrastlı deri altı kitle tespit edildi ve genel anestezi altında cerrahi operasyonla kitleler alındı. Kitlelerin boyutları caudal abdomende yaklaşık 2x2x3 cm, tüber koksa bölgesinde yaklaşık 1x1x2 cm ebatlarında belirlendi. Kitlenin kesit yüzü beyazımsı-sarı renkli görünümdeydi. Kitleler, %10’luk formaldehit solüsyonunda tespit edildikten sonra, rutin histopatoloji prosedürü uygulandı. Histolopatolojik incelemede apokrin ter bezlerinin, kistik yapıda olduğu ve kistin ortasından lümene doğru uzantıların olduğu tespit edildi. Apokrin ter bezi adenokarsinomunun histolopatolojik olarak papiller-kistik tipte olduğu belirlendi. Ter bezinin lümene bakan epitel hücrelerinde anizonükleozis, anizositozis ve polimorfik hücreler ile dev nukleuslu anaplastik hücreler görüldü.
