%0 Journal Article %T Retrospective evaluation of vascular tissue tumors in domestic animals between 2000-2015 %A Ozan AHLAT %J - %D 2018 %X The aim of this retrospective study is to determine the variety and classification of biopsy and operation materials sent to Ankara University, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Pathology between the years of 2000 and 2015, which were diagnosed as vascular tissue tumors. The materials of this study are 75 biopsy and operation samples received from the clinics of the Faculty and from some private veterinary clinics between the years of 2000 and 2015, which were diagnosed as vascular tissue tumors as a result of the routine process. Seventy-five cases of vascular tissue tumors were reported over 3172 samples. It was stated that 58 of vascular tissue tumors were malign, the remaining 17 were benign. In dogs, hemangiopericytoma were mostly observed in females, whereas, hemangioma and hemangiosarcoma were observed in males. Over the 61 materials examined in dogs, 55.7% (34/61) appear as hemangiopericytoma, 23% (14/61) as hemangiosarcoma, 13.1% (8/61) as cavernous hemangioma and 8.2% (5/61) as a capillary hemangioma. Over the 10 materials examined in cats, 70% (7/10) was determined as hemangiosarcoma, 20% (2/10) as capillary hemangioma and 10% (1/10) as hemangiopericytoma. In addition capillary hemangioma, hemangiopericytoma and hemangiosarcoma were determined in three budgerigars. A case of capillary hemangioma was reported in a horse. It was noticed that 2.36% (75/3172) of biopsy and operation materials received by our Department were diagnosed as vascular tissue tumors between the years of 2000-2015. It was concluded that hemangiopericytoma occurred mostly in dogs and hemangiosarcoma in cats. In our study, the high occurrence of the tumor in middle aged and older dogs and cats was compatible with the other studies. As examined according to localisation vascular tissue tumors are seen on the skin and/or in subcutaneous tissue, more in extremity and abdomen. Because there are not enough cases in species other than cat and dog, a detailed evaluation of vascular tissue tumors has not been made in these species %K Damar dokusu tš¹m£¿rleri %K evcil hayvanlar %K patoloji %U http://dergipark.org.tr/vetheder/issue/37571/434288
