A total of 240 neoplasms in animals were studied at the Department of Veterinary Pathology, Miyazaki University, over a ten-year period from 1970 to 1979. They consisted of 142 from dogs, 29 from cats, 40 from cattle, 11 from birds, and 19 from other animals.
Transmissible venereal tumors were the most frequent (44/142) in the dogs. Of 31 canine mammary tumors examined, 19 (61.3%) were benign mixed tumors. Mammary carcinoma was found in 75.0%(21/29) of the cats.
It was indicated that tumors showed almost the same tendency in occurrence in the southern part of Kyushu as in the urban area of Tokyo or in other countries, except that a relatively high incidence of canine transmissible venereal tumors and feline mammary carcinoma was noticed in that part.
