The study aimed to establish the canine skin cancer prevalence in cases analyzed in the Animal Pathology Laboratory of the Federal University of Parana, Sector Palotina between 2010-2013. Of 1,395 lab file skin biopsies, 347 (24.87%) were categorized as neoplasia. The most affected breed were poodle (46/13,26%), boxer (27/7,78%), pitbull (19/5,48%), rottweiller (18/5,19%) and cocker spaniel (17/4,9%). The age average was 7,5 years. There was a predominance of occurrence in males (197/56.77%) compared to females (150/43,23%). The most prevalente neoplasia were: Mast Cell Tumor (62/17,87%), Squamous Cell Carcinoma (35/10,09%), Melanoma (29/8,36%), Adanal Gland Adenoma (25/7,20%), Cutaneous Transmissible Venereal Tumor (24/6,92%), Lipoma (22/6,34%), Histiocytoma (22/6,34%), Hemangioma (18/5,19%), Basal Cell Carcinoma (17/4,90%) e Hemagiossarcoma (16/4,61). Other neoplasia reached 77 cases (22,19%). Although concurring in results with similar studies in national and international the authors highlight the importance of epidemiological study of canine cutaneous tumors and its relevance within the veterinary oncology.
