Abstract
Veterinary pediatric oncology remains underexplored, with limited studies and case reports on tumors in young animals. A 2023 study reported 0.004% of dogs under 1 year develop neoplasia. Common pediatric tumors in dogs include cutaneous histiocytomas, papillomas, mast cell tumors, rhabdomyosarcomas, nephroblastomas, and neuroblastomas. These tumors exhibit diverse behaviors, ranging from benign to aggressive. This article reviews the types, biological behavior, and treatment challenges of pediatric tumors in veterinary medicine.
