Comprehensive diagnostics made it possible to detect tumor growth in the early stages of development. 12 cats with a diagnosis of mammary gland neoplasm were studied. It was diagnosed with the help of X-ray, cytological and pathogistological research. Thanks to pathohistological studies, the malignancy of the tumor growth was confirmed and neoplasms were differentiated. Mixed carcinoma was detected in 5 animals (41.6%), solid carcinoma in 4 animals (33.3%),
papillary carcinoma in 3 animals (25%) of cases.
