20.500.12556/RUL-116675 Spontaneous tumors and non-neoplastic proliferative lesions in pet degus (Octodon degus) In recent years, degus (Octodon degus), rodents native to South America, have been becoming increasingly popular as pet animals. Data about neoplastic diseases in this species are still sparse and mainly limited to single-case reports. The aim of this study was to present neoplastic and non-neoplastic proliferative changes in 16/100 pet degus examined at the Veterinary Faculty University of Ljubljana from 2010 to 2015 and to describe the clinic-pathological features of these lesions. Twenty different lesions of the integumentary, musculoskeletal, genitourinary and gastrointestinal systems were diagnosed: amongst these were 13 malignant tumors, six benign tumors, and one non-neoplastic lesion. Cutaneous fibrosarcoma was the most common tumor (7/16 degus). It was detected more often in females (6/7 degus) and lesions were located mainly in hind limbs. The gastrointestinal tract was frequently affected, namely with two malignant neoplasms - an intestinal lymphoma and a mesenteric mesothelioma, four benign tumors – two biliary cystadenomas, an oral squamous papilloma and a hepatocellular adenoma, and a single non-neoplastic proliferative lesion. In one animal, two organic systems were involved in neoplastic lesions. degu non-neoplastic proliferative lesions Octodon degus pathology tumors neoplasms neoplastic processes chemical synthesis Octodon metabolism single-domain antibodies chemistry true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Članek v reviji 2020-06-02 12:16:45 2020-06-02 12:16:46 2022-08-28 03:51:37 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2020 0 0 7 str. iss. 1, art. 32 Vol. 7 2020 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 636.09:616-006 2306-7381 10.3390/vetsci7010032 4943226 523429657 RAZ_Svara_Tanja_2020.pdf RAZ_Svara_Tanja_2020.pdf 1 70E005E253A3DEE6D3BAE1216C64DE39 3087bd0a8696325a69f1fd1b76f6957c9347259e346914df1ff825c5014084a1 55435851-4def-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=151442 https://www.mdpi.com/2306-7381/7/1/32 0 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=130328 Veterinarska fakulteta 0 0 0
