  • Title: Skin neoplasms of dogs in Sydney.
    Author: Rothwell TL, Howlett CR, Middleton DJ, Griffiths DA, Duff BC.
    Journal: Aust Vet J; 1987 Jun; 64(6):161-4. PubMed ID: 3115242.
    Abstract:
    In a survey of dogs in Sydney, mastocytomas (16.1%) and histiocytomas (14.0%) were the most common in a total of 1,000 skin neoplasms. The basal cell and appendage group provided 25.5% of the neoplasms. The prevalence of the various neoplasms, the age of affected dogs, the proportion in the sexes, the common sites of occurrence and prevalence in the different breeds were broadly similar to findings in surveys in other countries, except that in the Syndeny dogs there was a greater prevalence of histiocytomas and haemangiopericytomas, a more common occurrence of histiocytomas in mature dogs, an occurrence of histiocytomas in similar numbers on the head, trunk and limbs, and a remarkably common development of squamous cell carcinomas in Dalmatians.
