A 17-month-old intact male Djungarian hamster (Phodopus sungorus) was presented with an axillary mass. Fine needle aspiration cytology of the mass showed a malignant epithelial cell tumor. Histopathological examination of the surgically removed mass confirmed a complex apocrine gland adenocarcinoma. Twenty days postoperatively, the mass recurred in the same area, and the patient died while waiting for the second surgical removal. This is the first report of the cytology, histopathology, and postoperative recurrence of apocrine gland adenocarcinoma in a Djungarian hamster.

A 7-year-old female Shih Tzu dog with lots of masses in the whole mammary gland was presented to the surgery department of the Veterinary Teaching Hospital in the Cheju National University. After surgical excision, all mammary samples were referred to Pathology Department of Veterinary Medicine. Grossly, masses were measuring up to $6.5{\times}4{\times}1cm$ and on cut surface of masses in right 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th and left 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th mammary masses were well delineated and firm, sulphur yellow, solid round to oval shape. Microscopically, most neoplastic sweat glands were severely proliferated in dermis and subcutis. Most tubules were lined by round to oval shaped epithelium with eosinophilic cytoplasm, hyperchromatic nuclei with high mitotic figures and severe central necrosis. The neoplastic epithelium also had PAS-positive diastase-resistant cytoplasmic granules, but negative with Perls iron stain. The left 2nd mass was well delineated, and had several dark brown areas and yellowish white glittered areas. Mass was well circumscribed with dense connective tissue. Neoplastic areas contained irregular sized mammary gland with papillary grown luminal epithelial cells in single or double cells layer with mitotic figures and small amounts of proliferated myoepithelial cells. Proliferated myoepithelial cells also produced slightly basophilic mucinous materials. Based on the gross, histopathologic and special staining characteristics, this dog was diagnosed as 90% of apocrine sweat gland aenocarcinoma and 10% mammary. complex adenomas in mammary masses. In our best knowledge, this is the first report for concurrent occurrence of apocrine sweat gland adenocarcinoma and mammary gland complex adenoma in mammary masses of the same dog.

A 11-year-old female mixed cat with subcutaneous mass around the left 5th mammary glands was presented to local animal hospital. According to history taking, the mass recurred 2 times on the same site of abdomen. After surgical excision, subcutaneous mass was referred to Pathology Department of Veterinary Medicine in the Jeju National University. Grossly, round to oval, milky yellow or pale red nodules, measuring 0.1${\sim}$1 cm in diameter, were occupied in the subcutis. Microscopically, the most neoplastic sweat glands were proliferated in the dermis and subcutis. Most tubules were lined by round to oval shaped epithelium with eosinophilic cytoplasm, hyperchromatic nuclei with high mitotic figures and severe central necrosis. The neoplastic epithelium also had periodic acid-Schiff-positive diastase-resistant cytoplasmic granules, but was negative for Perl's iron stain. Based on the gross, histopathologic and special staining, this cat was diagnosed as apocrine sweat gland adenocarcinoma. In our best knowledge, this is the first report of apocrine sweat gland adenocarcinoma around abdominal mammary gland in a cat.

A 15-year-old, spayed-female Maltese dog was presented with history of erythema and pruritus in left axillary region. In physical examination, firm elevated erythematous lesions were distributed throughout the axillary lesion. Fine needle aspiration cytology showed neoplastic epithelial cells with anisocytosis, high N:C ratio, and prominent nucleoli. Histologically, this lesion was consisted of a proliferation of undifferentiated neoplastic cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm. Mitotic figures of the neoplastic cells were observed and the neoplastic cells were intensely positive for cytokeratin. The presenting tumor was diagnosed as dermal apocrine gland adenocarcinoma.

Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) is an uncommon malignancy that occurs in apocrine gland-rich areas of the body. EMPD of the axilla is rare, but a few cases have been reported. Some cases of EMPD have been reported with underlying apocrine adenocarcinoma; rarely, mammary-type ductal carcinoma can accompany EMPD. Here, we report a very rare case of EMPD with apocrine adenocarcinoma and invasive mammary-type ductal carcinoma. A 55-year-old woman was referred with a brownish pigmented plaque accompanying an area of ulceration in the left axilla. A preoperative biopsy indicated Paget disease, and an additional evaluation was performed to determine whether it was of primary or secondary origin. A wide excision was made, and the axilla was reconstructed using a thoracodorsal artery perforator flap. The biopsy showed apocrine adenocarcinoma and invasive mammary-type ductal carcinoma with pagetoid spreading. The patient had no evidence of recurrence or other postoperative complications.

An 11-year-old neutered male Miniature Poodle with a stage 3 apocrine gland adenocarcinoma was started on chemotherapy with toceranib phosphate after surgery. Beginning on day 10 of toceranib, the dog's foot pads became erythematous and hyperkeratinized. The dog complained of pain, inability to walk, depression, and loss of appetite. The symptoms resolved when toceranib was discontinued and reappeared when toceranib was resumed. Grade 3 palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia was identified as an adverse event of toceranib based on the VCOG-CTCAE and Naranjo scale. Although very rare in veterinary medicine, clinicians should consider that palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia can occur after toceranib administration.

2006-2008년에 5마리의 환자가 아포크린샘암종으로 진단받았다. 품종은 다양하였으며 진단 당시 평균 연령은 11세이었다. 이들 중 3마리에서 종양으로 인한 고칼슘혈증이 발생하였으며, 한 마리는 화학요법(chemotherapy) 받지 않고 진단 1달 후 사망하였다. 나머지 네 마리의 환자들은 항암제 투여, 수술 등의 방법으로 치료를 받았으며 수술과 화학요법을 병행한 환자는 치료 종료 후 9개월째 완전완화(complete remission) 상태를 유지하고 있다. 화학요법만 받은 3마리의 환자들은 질병지속(stable disease) 상태로 유지되고 있으며 이 중 한 마리는 진단 후 2개월째에 사망하였다. 따라서 개의 아포크린샘암종의 치료법으로 수술 및 방사선 치료를 적용할 수 없는 경우에, 항종양제 단독 투여는 보조적으로 효과가 있는 것으로 사료된다.
