Plain-English summary
This study looked at 124 tumors from the ear glands of dogs and cats. The tumors included both cancerous types called adenocarcinomas and non-cancerous types known as adenomas, with one case being a mix of both. Most of the tumors found in these pets were cancerous. If your pet has a lump near their ear, it's important to have it checked by your veterinarian, as many of these tumors can be serious.
Abstract
The histological features of 124 ceruminous gland tumors from canine and feline biopsy submissions were reviewed. The tissues, which represented submissions from private veterinary practices and a veterinary college, included ceruminous gland adenocarcinomas and adenomas as well as a single, mixed ceruminous gland adenocarcinoma. A majority of the masses from both dogs and cats were identified as malignant processes.
