Retrospective Study

Colorectal Plasmacytomas: A Retrospective Study of Nine Dogs

Patricia A. Kupanoff, DVM, Catherine A. Popovitch, DVM, Diplomate ACVS, ECVS and Michael H. Goldschmidt, MSc, BVMS MRCVS, Diplomate ACVP

From the Laboratory of Pathology and Toxicology (Goldschmidt), University of Pennsylvania, School of Veterinary Medicine, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104 and the Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Center (Popovitch), 1900 West Old Lincoln Highway, Langehorne, Pennsylvania 19047.

Nine cases of colorectal plasmacytomas diagnosed between 1998 and 2001 were reviewed. Treatment consisted of complete surgical resection when possible. Two dogs had multiple plasmacytomas. Two dogs had local recurrence of the tumor at 5 and 8 months after resection. Two dogs were alive at 20 and 23 months with no recurrences at the time of follow-up. The median survival time was 15 months (range 5 to 33 months). Colorectal plasmacytomas are similar to mucocutaneous plasmacytomas, in that they tend to progress slowly and do not recur with complete excision.
