Sažetak
Lung tumors are rare neoplasms in dogs and cats, and their classification is based on histopathology. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of primary and metastatic lung tumors in dogs and cats. Archival protocols of 626 necropsied dogs and 193 necropsied cats were researched in the Department of Veterinary Pathology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Zagreb, in a period of three years. The lung tumors were analyzed using statistical analysis of gross and histopathological findings. The results showed 6, 55% (n=41) of lung tumors in dogs and 3, 63% (n=7) in cats. Also, 7, 32% (n=3) of lung tumors in dogs were primary, two cases of bronchioalveolar adenomas and one case of papillary adenocarcinoma, while 92, 68% (n=38) were metastatic, while 28, 57% (n=2) of lung tumors in cats were primary and 71, 43% (n=5) were metastatic. The majority of lung tumors were found as an incidental finding during the autopsy. They were more frequent in older age. The most common metastatic tumors in dogs were mammary gland carcinomas and in cats lymphomas. We can confirm that primary lung tumors are rare in dogs and cats, while secondary metastatic lung tumors are more common which corresponds to literature findings.
