Periocular cutaneous mast cell tumors in cats: evaluation of surgical excision (33 cases).
[cutaneous mastocytosis]
To
describe
feline
periocular
cutaneous
mast
cell
tumor
(
CMCT
)
clinical
features
,
rates
of
local
tumor
recurrence
and
metastases
,
and
cat
survival
time
following
surgical
excision
.
Thirty
-
three
cats
with
periocular
CMCTs
.
Medical
records
of
cats
diagnosed
with
periocular
CMCTs
were
reviewed
;
cats
were
included
if
CMCTs
were
surgically
excised
and
the
diagnosis
confirmed
by
histopathology
.
The
appearance
,
size
,
location
and
histopathology
findings
of
CMCTs
were
recorded
.
Rates
of
local
recurrence
,
metastasis
,
and
survival
time
following
surgical
excision
were
collected
when
available
.
All
periocular
CMCTs
were
restricted
to
the
eyelids
.
In
addition
to
surgical
excision
,
three
cats
were
treated
with
adjunctive
therapy
(
strontium-
90
irradiation
or
cryotherapy
)
intraoperatively
.
Local
tumor
control
was
achieved
in
22
/
23
cats
with
a
minimum
follow-up
of
30
days
(
median
follow-up
time
of
711
days
)
;
one
cat
developed
disseminated
CMCTs
but
no
local
recurrence
.
Cats
with
periocular
CMCTs
had
a
median
survival
time
of
945
days
.
Metastatic
disease
involving
peripheral
lymph
nodes
or
abdominal
viscera
was
not
detected
in
any
cat
at
any
time
during
the
study
.
All
periocular
CMCTs
were
classified
as
low
-grade
based
on
histopathology
,
and
complete
excision
was
achieved
in
approximately
50
%
of
cases
.
Surgical
excision
of
periocular
CMCTs
in
cats
is
an
effective
treatment
option
with
rare
local
recurrence
and
metastases
,
even
following
incomplete
surgical
excision
.
