FELINE MAMMARY FIBROADENOMA - CASE REPORT | Journal of Case Reports in Medical Science

The goal of this study was to document a case of mammary fibroadenoma in a female cat who was treated at a veterinary clinic in Santarém, Pará. At the veterinary clinic, a seven-month-old kitty of unknown breed, weighing 3 kg and uncastrated, was seen with enlarged volume in the lower quadrant of the mammary gland. The animal had been on contraception for about four weeks, and the owner had seen breast enlargement a week ago, but no indifference or loss of appetite. The patient had normal-colored mucous membranes, a rectal temperature of 38.7°C, a steady heart rate and respiration rate, hard mammary glands, and well-defined palpation on clinical examination. Only the afflicted breast pairs were subjected to partial mastectomy by the owner. With free margins and a free lymph node, histopathological findings were consistent with feline mammary fibroadenoma. This was the first study to report a case of mammary fibroadenoma in a feline, which was detected by histopathology in Santarém, Pará, Brazil. Although the occurrence of this pathology is usually benign, it can lead to mortality if the diagnosis and treatment are not done in advance. Especially in animals that have not been neutralised and have been given contraceptives made from synthetic progestins.
