Skin oncology: What you need to know

4 Cutaneous neoplasia s are malignant in 50% of the cases in dogs and in 80% in cats. It is then important to recognize these Skin tumors as soon as possible. We will discuss the practical approach for a general practitioner. How to recognize mast cells tumors, cutaneous lymphoma, epidermoidal carcinoma. Feline allergies Cats are not small dogs. Atopic dermatitis exists also in cats but the symptoms are totally different than in dogs and the diagnosis is much more complicate to establish. Classical signs of allergy in cats are: - Self induced alopecia - Cervico facial pruritus - Eosinophilic complex granuloma Dermatological manifestation of Internal diseases Cutaneous disorders can be markers of internal disorders in dogs or cats. The relationship between the skin and the internal disease can be associated with a hormonal, a metabolic, a neoplastic etc. During this lecture we will develop some practical examples. Practical approach of otitis Otitis externa in the dog is a very common disorder. Otitis can be associated with: - Predisposing factors (external ear canal conformation, excess moisture, trauma etc) - Primary causes (ectoparasites, foreign bodies, allergies, neoplasia etc) - Secondary factors : bacterial and yeast infections - Perpetuating factors (structural modification of the auditory canal, tympanic membrane lesions, middle ear infection, neoplasia ) The lecture will provide the keys to better recognize and manage acute and chronic otitis. Diagnosis and treatment approach of atopic dermatitis in dogs After presenting the current concepts in the diagnosis of atopic dermatitis in dogs, which rely mainly on the presence of lesions with an characteristic distribution and the exclusion of resembling diseases, we will present a multifactorial approach to treatment, which depends upon the stage of the disease and the extent of skin lesions. We will discuss the avoidance of flare factors, the control of infections and the management of itch and acute or chronic skin lesions. Finally, we will present strategies to prevent the recurrence of signs. Clinical Case Presentations Classical clinical cases will be presented and discussed with the audience.
