Väikeimetajad muutuvad üha populaarsemateks lemmikloomadeks ja sellest tulenevalt on omanike teadlikkus nende tervise kohta kasvanud. Viimastel aastatel on küülikute ja näriliste seas spontaansete neoplastiliste haiguste esinemissagedus suurenenud, mis on tõstnud rohkem tähelepanu väikeimetajate kasvajate diagnoosimisele ja ravile. Käesoleva kirjeldava ülevaateuuringu eesmärgiks oli kaardistada Eesti Maaülikooli Väikeloomakliinikut külastanud küülikute, merisigade ja rottide kasvajate esinemus perioodil 01.01.2018–31.12.2023. Uurimistöö käigus tuvastati sagedamini esinevad kasvajad küülikutel, merisigadel ja rottidel. Lisaks uuriti peamisi põhjuseid, miks loomaarsti poole pöörduti seoses kasvaja diagnoosiga ning millist organsüsteemi mõjutas kasvaja kõige sagedamini. Uuritud ajavahemikul diagnoositi kasvaja histoloogilisel või tsütoloogilisel teel 20 küülikul (1%), 9 meriseal (1,2%) ja 27 rotil (6%). Seitsmel rotil diagnoositi kasvaja kahel korral. Küülikutel diagnoositi kõige sagedamini adenokartsinoom (20%), merisigadel lipoom (56%) ja rottidel piimanäärme fibroadenoom (31%). Omanike peamiseks kaebuseks kliinikusse pöördumisel oli küülikutel planeeritud steriliseerimine (n = 7), samas kui merisigadel (n = 4) ja rottidel (n = 15) oli moodustise avastamine. Küülikutel oli kõige sagedamini kasvajaid urogenitaalsüsteemis (62%), merisigadel nahaga seotud kasvajaid (50%) ning rottidel piimanäärme piirkonnas (44%).
Small mammals are becoming increasingly popular pets, leading to a growing awareness among owners about their health. In recent years, the incidence of spontaneous neoplastic diseases among rabbits and rodents has increased, drawing more attention to the diagnosis and treatment of tumors in small mammals. The aim of this descriptive review study was to map the occurrence of tumors in rabbits, guinea pigs, and rats presented to the Small Animal Clinic of the Estonian University of Life Sciences during the period from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2023. The study identified the most common tumors in rabbits, guinea pigs, and rats. Additionally, it investigated the main reasons for veterinary consultation related to tumor diagnosis and which organ system was most commonly affected by tumors. During this period, tumors were diagnosed histologically or cytologically in 20 rabbits (1%), 9 guinea pigs (1.2%), and 27 rats (6%). Tumors were diagnosed twice in seven rats. The most common diagnoses were adenocarcinoma in rabbits (20%), lipoma in guinea pigs (56%), and fibroadenoma in mammary glands in rats (31%). The main reason for owners' consultations at the clinic was planned sterilization in rabbits (n = 7), while the discovery of masses was reported in guinea pigs (n = 4) and rats (n = 15). Tumors were most commonly found in the urogenital system of rabbits (62%), in the skin-related tissues of guinea pigs (50%), and in the mammary gland region of rats (44%). The sample size of the study was small, so major conclusions or generalizations cannot be made, and caution should be exercised when interpreting the results.
