Benign vs malignant lumps in 🐶 and 🐱
🐾Benign lumps are tumours that do not spread to other tissue around it. These lumps are usually slower growing. These are usually not life threatening.
❗️Malignant lumps are tumours that can spread to various different areas of the rest of the body. These lumps may be life threatening. Some clinical symptoms may include weight loss, decrease appetite, abdominal swelling due to an enlarged mass, lethargy, signs of pain and coughing.
The appearance of the lumps does not classify them as benign or malignant. Your vet 🩺 has to take a sample to look under the microscope 🔬 to identify the cells or the lump needs to be sent away to the lab 🌡🧫 for analysis.

Benign
🐾Lipoma (fat cell tumour)
🐾Sebaceous adenomas (skin tumours)
🐾Follicular cysts (develops from hair follicle)
🐾Histiocytomas (skin tumours)

Malignant
❗️Sarcoma (muscle, bone, cartilage affected)
❗️Carcinomas (affects skin or organs)
❗️Melanoma (skin tumours)

The best treatment option for a benign tumour is to surgically remove it.
For malignant masses it is best to remove it as well, but your pet may need chemotherapy or radiation therapy after the removal depending the spread of the tumour.

Maximus is a four-year-old, castrated male, domestic short hair cat that was presented to our clinic for just not being himself. His owners did notice that he has been eating less than he usually does. Maximus has a history of waxing and waning diarrhoea.

On clinical examination Maximus was a bit underweight and his gums were pale. He also had a fever and was slightly painful when touching his abdomen.

A blood smear (small drop of blood taken from ear prick) was done and this showed increased white blood cells, decreased red blood cells and platelets.
A FIV/FeLV (detects the presence of feline leukaemia and aids viruses in the blood) test was done and he tested positive for the leukaemia virus.

The next step was doing an ultrasound of the abdomen. We saw an intestinal mass and severely enlarged lymph nodes around the intestines as well as an enlarged spleen. A fine needle aspirate of the lymph nodes was done. Under the microscope we saw malignant (tumorous) lymphocytic cells (white blood cells). This was diagnosed as a lymphoma most likely due to the FeLV.

Treatment would often be chemotherapy and supportive treatment but Maximus’ owners opted to rather put him to sleep.

Prevention includes regular vet visits and annual vaccination including the Feline leukaemia vaccine. Keeping your cats indoor and preventing exposure to stray/ infected cats will also help.

Tumours are very common in hedgehogs and are mainly malignant tumours. This can be seen from two years of age. They are predisposed to getting tumours in their mouth, skin and reproductive organs.

Oral squamous cell carcinomas are the most common mouth tumour. Clinical signs are stinky breath, difficulty in eating and weight loss, loose teeth, lumps/swelling in the mouth that may bleed. Unfortunately, the tumours are only noticed when they are at an advanced stage and may be invading the jaw bone.
Once your hedgehog is showing these clinical signs a diagnosis can be made by placing your hedgehog under sedation to evaluate the mouth as well as other areas. A fine needle aspirate of the tumours can be done and examined under the microscope.
Treatment involves surgically removing the masses in the early stages. Other options include chemotherapy, but tumour reoccurrence is likely. It is a good idea to allow a veterinarian to do an oral examination under sedation every 6 to 12 months, as early detection may improve outcome.
