A ceruminous adenoma is a benign glandular neoplasm which arises from the ceruminous glands located within the external auditory canal. These glands are found within the outer one third to one half of the external auditory canal, more common along the posterior surface; therefore, the tumor develops within a very specific location.

A mastocytoma in dogs (or mast cell tumor in dogs) is a neoplasm originating from mast cells in the domestic dog, which occurs mainly in the skin and subcutis. Mastocytoma are not only extremely common in dogs, but also tend to be much more malignant in them than in other animal species.
A histiocytoma in the dog is a benign tumor. It is an abnormal growth in the skin of histiocytes (histiocytosis), a cell that is part of the immune system. A similar disease in humans, Hashimoto-Pritzker disease, is also a Langerhans cell histiocytosis. [1] Dog breeds that may be more at risk for this tumor include Bulldogs, American Pit Bull ...
Histiocytic diseases in dogs are a group of diseases in dogs which may involve the skin, and which can be difficult to differentiate from granulomatous, reactive inflammatory or lymphoproliferative diseases. The clinical presentation and behaviour as well as response to therapy vary greatly among the syndromes.
Any dog showing symptoms of mastocytosis or with a grade III tumor has a poor prognosis. Dogs of the Boxer breed have a better than average prognosis because of the relatively benign behavior of their mast cell tumors. [10] Multiple tumors that are treated similarly to solitary tumors do not seem to have a worse prognosis. [18]
The conventional therapy for mammary cancer is surgery to reduce the bulk of the tumor, and if it is malignant, the dog is put on chemotherapy. In this type of cancer, ivermectin has been shown to ...
Cerumen keeps the eardrum pliable, lubricates and cleans the external auditory canal, waterproofs the canal, kills bacteria, and serves as a barrier to trap foreign particles (dust, fungal spores, etc.) by coating the guard hairs of the ear, making them sticky. [1] These glands are capable of developing both benign and malignant tumors.
Not all questions have simple, yes or no answers—including this one. While many dogs are lactose intolerant, many are not! Lactose intolerance develops as a dog grows up, so it can be impossible ...
