Mammary gland tumors are very rare in male dogs. In this study, four mammary gland tumors from 3 male dogs (2 intact, 1 neutered) were collected from local animal hospitals. The dogs included two purebred Shih Tzu (1 intact, 1 neutered) and one intact purebred Cocker Spaniel. The mean age of dogs with mammary gland tumors was 9 years (5-12 years). Two dogs had a solitary mass, whereas one dog had two mammary masses. Of the four tumor masses, three were observed in the fourth or fifth mammary glands, and one was observed in the third mammary gland. According to histopathologic examinations, all four mammary masses from three dogs were benign tumors including two benign mixed tumors in one case and two complex adenomas. There were no history of obesity, testicular tumors, diabetes, and sex hormonal therapy in any male dogs with mammary tumors. Surgical excision was the only reported treatment for these tumors. No recurrence or metastasis was recorded up to 25 months after surgery.

Mammary cancer is the most common malignant neoplasm in the bitch. It constitute 40 percent of all tumors in female dogs, which is three times higher than incidence of mammary tumors in humans[2]. Cytological differentiation between benign and malignant canine mammary tumors is difficult, however, an irregular chromatin pattern was reported to be a significant criterion for malignancy[1]. It can be estimated that approximately 30 percent of the surgically removed mammary tumors are malignant[4]. Malignant mammary tumors often have some degree of infiltrative/destructive growth into adjacent tissues and/or invasion of vessels. Malignant mammary tumors often metastasize into local lymph nodes and lungs, and less frequently into other organs[3]. Based on histological and cytological criteria, this case was diagnosed as tubulopapillary carcinoma of the mammary gland. (omitted)

Canine mammary gland tumors are the most common neoplasms in intact female dogs. Approximately half of all mammary tumors are malignant, and there is a risk of metastasis, which is associated with a poor prognosis. This study was to evaluate the prognostic factors of canine mammary gland tumors and the risk factors associated with the development of malignant tumors. From 2014 to 2020, 60 dogs with mammary gland tumors that underwent surgical treatment were evaluated in this retrospective study. Tumor size, TNM stage, and histopathological results were prognostic factors for 2-year survival after surgery. Every 10 mm increase in tumor size, increased the risk of death within 2 years after surgery 1.213 times. Dogs with TNM stage IV or V had 8.667 fold risk of death within 2 years after surgery. The 2-year survival rate for dogs with benign tumors was 90.2% and for malignant tumors was 67.3%. Tumor size is the most important prognostic factor for canine mammary gland tumors. As tumor size increased by 10 mm, the risk for development of malignant tumors increased by 1.487 times. Tumors larger than 30 mm are highly likely to be malignant, and metastatic evaluation and wide resection should be considered.

Sixteen mammary gland tumors were collected from Seoul National University and Kangwon National University. The average age of the bitches with mammary gland tumor was 10 years. Total 17(60.7%) out of 28 tumor masses observed in 4th and 5th glands. Classification of these tumors according to Hampe and Misdorp were simple adenoma, complex adenoma, benign mixed tumor, papillary adenocarcinoma, solid adenocarcinoma and malignant mixed tumor. Immunohistochemical reaction of the intermediate filaments against normal canine mammary gland showed as followed; anti-cytokeratin 18 was strong and anti-cytokeratin 14 was moderate to the luminal epithelium. Anti-cytokeratin 14 and anti-pancytokeratin to the myoepithelium were showed strong, but anti-vimentin was weak in reactivity. Anti-vimentin to the interstitial cells was represented strong reactivity. The origin of cartilage in mixed tumor of canine mammary gland was studied immunohistochemically with antibodies against intermediate filament. In mammary gland mixed tumors, cartilage tumor tissues were surrounded with the irregularly demarcated three zones composed of adjacent star shaped cells in myxoid areas, proliferative spindle shaped cells and basal located proliferated cells. From basal proliferated cells to star shaped cells, the immunohistochemical reactivity of myoepithelium specific anti-pancytokeratin was decreased gradually and the reactivity of interstitial cell specific anti-vimentin was increased gradually. Based on these immunohistochemical staining patterns, we suggested that the origin of cartilagenous components in canine mammary gland mixed tumor is most likely to the proliferation and metaplsia of myoepithelium.

The c-erbB2/neu oncogene (alias HER2, NEU) encoding a tyrosine kinase receptor protein, the overexpression of which correlates with a more rapid progression and a worse prognosis in human breast cancer [1]. Otherwise, this gene is still poorly investigated in veterinary oncology [2,3]. To gain insight into the patterns of c-erbB2/neu status in canine mammary tumor, we constructed one such mammary tumor tissue microarray (TMA) from 60 tumors from our lab. This enabled the amplification of c-erbB2/neu oncogene of all 60 tumors to be simultaneously analyzed by chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH). The aim of this study was to evaluate status of c-erbB2/neu oncogene in canine mammary tumors and to correlate this status with the differentiation grade of neoplasm. (omitted)

Mammary gland tumors are the most common neoplasms occurring in female dogs. The treatments of mammary gland tumors are surgery, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy and radiational therapy, but surgical removal remains widely accepted treatment option for mammary gland tumors. The purpose of this study is to evaluate clinical outcomes of dogs which are performed surgical excision. Medical records were reviewed for dogs(79 cases) with mammary gland tumors treated surgically at Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital in Seoul National University from 2001 to 2005. While 49 cases(62.0%) were benign, 30 cases(38.0%) were malignant tumors. The mean age of these dogs was 10.4 years old(range $1{\sim}16$ years). The maximal diameter of malignant tumors were various, whereas most of the benign tumors were smaller than 3cm(36 cases, 73.5%). In 12 cases(15.2%), regional lymph nodes were enlarged and lymph nodes of 3 cases had resected surgically. The performed techniques were total mastectomy, regional mastectomy, simple mastectomy, lumpectomy and unilateral mastectomy in order. Twenty-eight cases(35.4%) had postoperative complications consisted of recurrence of tumors, necrosis, dehiscence, delayed healing and edema of limbs. The recurrence rates of benign and malignant mammary gland tumors were 8 cases(16.3%) and 6 cases(20.0%). Metastasis rate was 7 cases(8.9%). Although postoperative complications were no remarkable difference in recurrence rates among surgical techniques in this study, other complications such as edema of limbs, necrosis, dehiscence and delayed healing were remarkable difference as surgical techniques. Therefore, this result suggest that choice of appropriate surgical techniques should be determined according to each patient's physical status and characteristics of tumors.

As a possible step to evaluate in the mammary gland the role of motherwort (Leonurus sibiricus L), a representative medicinal plant used traditionally for the therapy of gynecologic diseases, the effects of the agent on lactation which was suppressed by preganacy-dependent mammary tumors (PDMT) were studied in GR/A mice. Beginning the day of placing with males at 45-50 days of age, female mice were given 60% methanol-extract of the aerial part of motherwort as drinking water at the concentration of 0.5% throughout the experiment. Mice developing PDMT during pregnancy [PDMT(+)] and given motherwort were similar to mice developing no PDMT [PDMT(_)] with or without motherwort treatment and were significantly higher than PDMT(+) mice given tap water in litter growth and mammary RNA/DMA ratio on day 12 of the 2nd lactation. Mammary DNA and RNA contents were also elevated by motherwort in PDMT(+) mice. The results suggest that motherwort can ameliorate lactation suppressed by PDMT through its stimulation of both growth and function of the mammary glands.

Medical records of 139 tumors from 114 dogs that underwent surgery from May 2010 through March 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. Among 114 dogs, females (64.9%) were significantly more common than males (35.1%) (p<0.05). Dogs aged 6 to 10 years were more presented than non-tumor patients, however, there was no significant difference. The mean age (±SD) was 10.3±3.0 years. Although we found no significant difference of breed predisposition, the most common breed was Maltese (19.3%), followed by Shih-Tzu (14.0%), and Yorkshire terrier (13.2%). Proportional morbidity ratios (PMRs) of mammary gland, oral cavity, and skin tumors were high in Poodles, Yorkshire terriers, and Golden retrievers, respectively. Mammary gland (36.0%) was the most common site, followed by skin and soft tissues (12.2%), oral cavity (10.8%), and digestive organs (8.6%), but there was no significant difference. The objectives of surgery were curative surgery (86.2%), biopsy (4.9%), and palliative surgery (6.5%). In this study, 123 of 139 tumors had histopathological diagnoses. Adenocarcinoma was the most common type (n=24), followed by adenoma (n=17), soft tissue sarcoma (n=13), benign mixed tumor (n=5), and others (n=64). Recurrence or suspected metastasis was identified in 26 dogs. Median survival times of malignant mammary gland tumors, skin and subcutaneous tumors, and splenic tumors were 1,563.0±1,201.7, 469, and 128 days, respectively.

피부와 유선 종양은 개에서 매우 빈번히 발생하는 종양으로, 종양 발생의 위험은 나이가 증가함에 따라 종양의 발생률은 증가하며, 발병률과 발병부위의 분포는 종양의 종류마다 다르다. 피부와 유선종양의 발생은 공기오염, 식생활 등 환경의 변화와도 관련이 있어 이들 종양들의 발생양상은 그 사회의 환경을 반영할 수 있어 시대와 지역에 따라 다양하게 다르게 나타날 수 있다. 따라서, 그 동안의 많은 보고들에도 불구하고, 피부와 유선종양발생에 대한 자료들은 종양에 대한 수의임상학적 진단과 치료를 위한 중요한 정보를 제공한다. 본 연구에서는 2005년 1월 1일부터 2006년 12월 31일까지 수의과학검역원과 강원대학교에 의뢰된 128증례의 개 피부종양과 240증례의 개 유선종양을 Goldschmidt와 Misdorp의 형태학적 기준에 의해 조직병리학적으로 진단하여, 종별, 성별 및 부위별로 각각 분류하여 국내에서 이들 종양의 발생양상을 체계적으로 분석하였다. 피부종양에서는 피부상피세포종양, 샘종양 및 간질종양이 각각 14.1%, 41.4%와 44.5%였다. Cutaneous histiocytoma가 피부종양에서 가장 빈번하게 관찰되어 전체 피부종양의 25.0%를 차지하였으며, 기름샘종 (sebaceous gland adenoma; 15.6%), 기저세포종(basal cell tumor; 8.6%), 항문둘레샘종 (perianal gland adenoma; 6.3%)와 지방종 (lipoma; 6.3%)순으로 높았다. 그 외에 비만세포종, 모낭세포종과 중층편평상피암 등이 관찰되었다. 이러한 피부종양들은 품종, 성과 나이 또는 부위에 따라 유사하거나 다른 양상을 나타내었다. 유선종양의 경우 양성과 악성이 201/240, 39/240으로 양성발생률이 현저히 높았으며, 양성혼합종 (benign mixed tumor)이 검사한 품종 모두에서 가장 높은 발생률 (35.0%)을 나타내었다. Complex adenoma는 Maltese와 Poodle에서 특히 높았으며, 악성종양에서는 simple carcinoma와 complex carcinoma가 각각 6.7%로, 악성 중 41.0%를 차지하여 가장 높은 발생률을 나타내었다. 본 연구결과는 최근 우리나라에서 여러 품종의 반려견에서 발생한 피부와 유선종양의 발생양상을 조직병리학적으로 진단 분석한 것으로, 임상수의사들이 지속적으로 증가추세에 있는 개의 피부와 유선종양을 진단하고 치료하는데 유용하게 활용될 수 있기를 기대한다.
