Nasal Tumors
Također poznato kao: Nasal Neoplasia, Nasal Neoplasms, Primary Neoplasms of the Nasal Cavity
Ukratko
Nasal tumors are uncommon but serious growths in the nasal cavities of dogs and cats. While most are malignant and locally aggressive, early detection combined with radiation or chemotherapy can help manage symptoms and extend your pet's quality of life.
TL;DR. Rijetki ali ozbiljni izrasline u nosnoj supljini; vecinom maligni i lokalno agresivni.
Nosna supljina je osjetljiva: lokalni tumor brzo unistava.
Što je to?
Tumori nosa ili sinusa (karcinomi, sarkomi, limfom). Rane metastaze rijetke; jaka lokalna destrukcija.
Uzroci i čimbenici rizika
Uzrok nepoznat. Okolisni iritansi moguci. Cesce u starijih; bez stalne pasmine.
Znakovi
- Iscjedak iz nosa (kardinalni)
- Epistaksa, smanjen protok zraka, kihanje
- Povremeno: asimetrija lica, egzoftalmus, neuro znakovi
Jednostrani iscjedak i blago oticanje lica rani su znakovi.
Kako veterinari dijagnosticiraju
Pregled, CT/MR, rinoskopija, biopsija (zlatni standard), staging; macka FeLV/FIV.
"Nasal tumors usually occur in older animals but cannot be excluded from the differential diagnosis of young dogs and cats. No breed predisposition has been consistently identified."
Mogućnosti liječenja
Radioterapija prvi izbor. Sama kirurgija rijetko dovoljna. Kemoterapija (limfom). Palijativa: NSAID, steroidi.
Prognoza
Bez lijecenja: mjeseci. S radioterapijom cesto 12-18 mjeseci ili duze.
Prevencija
Rano procijeniti kronicni iscjedak ili krvarenje.
Kada zvati veterinara
Hitno: trajna epistaksa, teska dispneja, neuro znakovi.
Kod određenih pasmina
Nema fiksne pasmine; kronicni nosni znakovi zahtijevaju obradu.
