Abstract (2. Language):
A 9 year-old, male, Rottweiler was presented to our clinic with the complaint of abnormal growth in the second, right thoracal mammary lobe. Clinically, the second thoracic papilla mamma was about 5x4×3 cm in size, and ostium papillare was ulcerative and infected. Radiography of the thorax revealed no findings indicative of metastasis. Ultrasonographical examination revealed that mammary tissue had heterogeneous appearance and was surrounded by hyperechoic areas. The mastectomy of the mammary lobe was performed under general anesthesia. Histopathological examination revealed solid and papillary proliferations of glandular epithelia and a high mitotic activity. A diagnosis of anaplastic mammary carcinoma was made based on these findings. Anaplastic mammary gland carcinomas are rarely encountered in male dogs and one incident is reported in this case presen-tation.

Abstract (Original Language):
Dokuz yaşlı, erkek, Rottweiler ırkı bir köpek, sağ ikinci torakal meme lobunda büyüme şikayetiyle klinik-lerimize getirildi. Klinik olarak sağ torakal 2. papilla mamma yaklaşık 5x4×3 cm boyutlarında, ostium papillare ise ülseratif ve enfekteydi. Toraksın radyografisinde metastazı ortaya koyacak herhangi bir bulguya rastlanmadı. Ultrasonografik muayenede meme dokusu heterojen bir görünüme sahipti ve hiperekoik bir alan ile çevriliydi. Genel anestezi altında ilgili meme lobunun mastektomisi gerçekleştirildi. Histopatolojik incelemede meme bezi epitel hücrelerinin yer yer solid ve papiller tarzda ürediği ve hücrelerde mitotik aktivitenin oldukça yüksek olduğu gözlendi. Bu bulgulara dayanarak kitleye anaplastik karsinoma tanısı konuldu. Erkek köpeklerde nadir olarak gözlenen anaplastik meme bezi karsinoması bu olgu sunumu ile rapor edilmektedir.
