Abstract

The aim of this study was to describe the casuistic of histopathological diagnoses of dogs and cats seen in the city of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. For this purpose, the biopsy records of a pathological service laboratory were reviewed, and information related to the origin, records, age, sex and breed of the animals, as well as the histopathological pattern of the lesions, were obtained. A total of 161 samples from 158 animals were evaluated. Of these, 87.35% corresponded to dogs and 12.02% to cats, with females (62.7%) being more affected than males (36.7%). Adult and elderly animals (40.5% to 41.1%) prevailed at the expense of young animals. In relation to the dog breeds, Poodle, Labrador, Yorkshire and Pitbull stood out. Overall, the integument was the most affected system, followed by the mammary gland and gastrointestinal tract. Regarding the type of lesion, neoplasms stood outMast cell tumors, lipomas, hemangiomas and melanomas were the main skin neoplasms observed in dogs, while squamous cell carcinoma, fibrosarcoma and sebaceous carcinoma were observed in cats. Dermatitis and nodular panniculitis, foreign body reactions and inflammatory lesions in the gastrointestinal tract were expressive, highlighting chronic gingivostomatitis in cats and lymphoplasmacytic gastroenteritis in dogs. The histopathological patterns visualized corroborated what was exposed in the literature. Studies that aim to characterize the histopathological profile of the lesions should be encouraged, as they can provide a list of the most common differential diagnoses, and to serve as a tool for understanding the main diseases in the region.
