Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine and compare the distribution, localization, race, age and gender incidences of head and neck region tumors by years by evaluating the results of canine-cat biopsy and/or operation material brought to Ankara University Faculty of Veterinary Pathology Department between 2011-2021. In the study, 244 (15.9%) of 1533 tumors diagnosed in dogs and cats between 2011-2021 belonged to the head and neck region, of which 159 were in dogs and 85 in cats. Dogs with tumors were more than 6 years old (n=108) and cats were 1 year and older (n=75). In the head and neck region observed in dogs, malignant and benign tumors of epithelial origin were most common (n: 81; 50.9%), and sebaceous tumors (n: 22) were the most common epithelial tumors. Among the tumors of this region, epithelial tumors are mostly encountered in cats (n: 39; 45.8%), and 51.2% of the epithelial tumors are squamous cell cancer (n: 20), epithelial tumors are most common in the mouth (n: 12) and nose (n: 12). n:9) was observed.
