APOCRINE PULMONARY ADENOCARCINOMA IN A DOG: CASE REPORT
The term adenocarcinoma is applied to carcinomas that arise from the glandular epithelium and typically form glandular patterns during growth. Often, a cancer is composed of such primitive anaplastic cells, which must be designated as undifferentiated carcinoma, undifferentiated sarcoma, or even highly undifferentiated neoplasm (CHEVILLE, 2009). Adenocarcinomas are common tumors in dogs, frequent and represent 70 to 80% of these neoplasms (PEDROSO, 2010). However, in contrast, primary lung neoplasms are uncommon and represent only 1% of all tumors in this species (COPAT, 2014). According to Pedroso (2010), dogs with primary lung tumors have an average age of 9 to 12 years. The predisposition does not increase with sex or race. However, animals over 10 kg may be at increased risk. The right lung lobes, especially the caudal one, are the most commonly affected sites.

Abstract:
The term adenocarcinoma is applied to carcinomas that arise from the glandular epithelium and typically form glandular patterns during growth. Often, a cancer is composed of such primitive anaplastic cells, which must be designated as undifferentiated carcinoma, undifferentiated sarcoma, or even highly undifferentiated neoplasm (CHEVILLE, 2009). Adenocarcinomas are common tumors in dogs, frequent and represent 70 to 80% of these neoplasms (PEDROSO, 2010). However, in contrast, primary lung neoplasms are uncommon and represent only 1% of all tumors in this species (COPAT, 2014). According to Pedroso (2010), dogs with primary lung tumors have an average age of 9 to 12 years. The predisposition does not increase with sex or race. However, animals over 10 kg may be at increased risk. The right lung lobes, especially the caudal one, are the most commonly affected sites.
