ABSTRACT
Amini AH, Hayati
F, Namazi F, Shahroozian
E., Sebaceous adenocarcinoma in a Hamster (Mesocricetus
auratus), Onl J Vet Res., 21(4):146-150,
2017. A 1-year-old female intact Hamster (Mesocricetus auratus)
presented with a large mass on her cervical region. Based on the history, the mass
developed during the previous 2 months and appetite was normal. On initial
physical examination a large firm round mass was palpated near her neck and her
general health was normal. The tumor excised under anesthesia was composed of
lobules surrounded by fibrovascular
stroma, neoplastic cells with moderate
cytoplasm and hyperchromatic, pleomorphic nuclei with prominent nucleoli. Some of the neoplastic cells contained intracytoplasmic lipid vacuoles and mitotic figures were frequent. According to history,
physical examination and histopathology, the excised mass was confirmed as
sebaceous adenocarcinoma.
