Nowadays, it has become more and more usual to see non-traditional animals as pets, which increases the demand for their medical care and other diverse medical services. For this study, samples were taken by fine needle aspiration, in some cases ultrasound guided, obtaining a total of 16 samples of different non-traditional companion animals (ferret, iguana, hedgehog, guinea pig, rat, turtle, rabbit and bearded dragon) in a period of 3 months at the Wildlife Hospital of the Veterinary Medicine Faculty, UNAM. According to the observed slides, 2 samples were non-diagnostic, 2 were lymphoma, 5 inflammatory disease (2 heterophilic and 3 mixed), 2 squamous cell carcinomas, 1 chordoma, 1 neoplasm mesenchymal (possible lipoma), 2 mesenchymal lesions, and 1 sarcoma (histiocytic or lymphoma). These results coincided with those published by other authors taking according to each species.
Resúmen
En la actualidad cada vez hay más animales no convencionales como mascotas de compañía, lo que incrementa la demanda de su atención médica y de diversos servicios médicos, incluyendo la citología. Para este estudio se tomaron muestras por punción con aguja delgada y guiada por ultrasonido para obtener un total de 16 muestras de diferentes ejemplares (hurón, iguana, erizo, cuyo, rata, tortuga, conejo y dragón barbudo) en un periodo de tres meses en el Hospital de Fauna Silvestre de la FMVZ, UNAM. De los 16 casos observados, dos fueron muestras no diagnósticas, dos linfomas, cinco procesos inflamatorios (dos de tipo heterofílico y tres piogranulomatosos), dos carcinomas de células escamosas, un cordoma, una neoplasia mesenquimatosa (posible lipoma), dos lesiones mesenquimatosas y un sarcoma (histiocítico o linfoma). Estos resultados fueron concordantes con los casos publicados por otros autores conforme a cada especie.
