Abstract
in English, French

The medical records of 4 dogs with histologically confirmed intranasal mast cell tumors (MCTs) were retrospectively evaluated to determine their biological behavior. Information on signalment, presenting clinical signs, tumor grade, treatment administered, and survival times was obtained from the medical record. All 4 patients had high grade tumors and received chemotherapy. Survival times ranged from 27 to 134 days. All 4 dogs showed signs of local or distant disease progression, suggestive of an aggressive behavior of intranasal MCTs.

Tumeur mastocytaire intranasale chez le chien : une série de cas. Les dossiers médicaux de quatrechiens qui avaient eu des tumeurs mastocytaires intranasales confirmées par histologie ont été rétrospectivement évalués afin de déterminer leur comportement biologique. Des renseignements sur le signalement, les signes cliniques de présentation, le grade de la tumeur, le traitement administré et les temps de survie ont été obtenus dans le dossier médical. Les quatre patients avaient des tumeurs de grade élevé et ont reçu de la chimiothérapie. Les temps de survie ont varié de 27 à 134 jours. Les quatre chiens ont manifesté des signes de progression locale ou distante de la maladie, suggérant un comportement agressif des tumeurs mastocytaires intranasales.(Traduit par Isabelle Vallières).
