RADIOGRAPHI DIAGNOSIS OF PRIMARY AND METASTATIC LUNG TUMORS

primary lung tumors
The annual incidence rate of primary pulmonary neoplasia in the dog is estimated as 10 cases per 100.000 animais, and they are even rarer in cats. This is in contrast to humans where primary lung tumors are among the most common neoplasias Brachycephalic dogs are predisposed to the development of lung tumors but develop nasal tumors much less frequently than dolichocephalic breeds.
