Cutaneous apocrine ductular carcinoma, a rare tumour
of apocrine sweat gland origin in cats, was diagnosed in the dorsal neck region
of a 13-year-old feline domestic shorthair patient. Histopathological
examination of biopsy material revealed an ulcerated infiltrative
adenocarcinoma located in the dermis and subcutis
with a tubuloacinar
morphology in a distinct double-layered epithelial structure, typical of ductular origin. Surgical removal of the carcinoma resulted
in resolution of the case.
