Abstract

Mammary tumours in 214 dogs were evaluated at the Department of Surgery and Orthopaedics, Veterinary and Pharmaceutical University Brno, between 1997 and Lesions of the mammary gland were classified as dysplasia/hyperplasia, benign and malignant tumours in 19, 61 and 134 patients, respectively. When there were different lesions of the mammary gland in one individual, the patient was classified according to the most malignant one. The above-mentioned patients were compared to the population of 17 053 dogs treated during the same period to determine age and breed predisposition.
