CARCINOMA TUBULOPAPILÍFERO EM PORQUINHO-DA- ÍNDIA (Cavia porcellus): RELATO DE CASO.

Rodents are common pets in people's homes, among which the guinea pig, twister rat and domestic guinea pig stand out as popular pets today. Among the diseases that can affect these animals are the different categories of neoplasms, on which there are few studies and published reports. With this in mind, there is a need to encourage research on the subject, since the study of neoplasms in rodents can provide information about the causes and forms of cancer treatment not only for these animals, but also for other species, including humans. In view of the above scenario, this article aims to report a case of tubulopapillary carcinoma in a guinea pig (Cavia porcellus) treated at the Veterinary Hospital of the University of Sorocaba (HOVET / UNISO). After surgical removal of the neoplasm, the patient recovered well and was discharged from the veterinary hospital. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
