Mammary gland neoplasms in cats are at the top of the list of the most common nosological diseases among domestic animals; more than half of the tumors appear as malignant. Veterinary practitioners have many questions about the prevalence of breast tumors in cats, depending on age, breed and seasons of the year. The article presents the results of diseases prevalence of benign and malignant breast tumors in cats kept in the conditions of Bishkek. The characteristic of macroscopic and microscopic studies of benign and malignant breast tumors in cats at different periods of life and depending on the breed is also described. Studies were conducted in the period from March 2018 to March 2019. Morphological methods were used in the study of breast tumors. As a result of our research, we established the morphological forms of benign and malignant breast tumors in cats. Among benign neoplastic breast diseases in cats, breast lipoma was observed. Also among the malignant tumors of the breast met highly differentiated, moderately differentiated and poorly differentiated breast adenocarcinomas malnutrition and necrosis as well as the rare phylloid (leaf-shaped) fibroadenoma of the mammary gland which makes up only 0.3-0.5 % of all breast tumors.

Aim. Despite the great progress in cancer treating, the breast cancer remains lethal in 15 % cases. Regardless of the many years of research and extensive experience in the treatment of this type of cancer, one of the main problems in diagnosis and therapy is its high clinical and genetic heterogeneity. Thereby the identification of markers for personalized treatment of patients is still an actual issue. Methods. Collection of clinical material, RNA isolation, and expression analysis of ITSN2 and TKS5 isoforms using quantitative real time PCR with fluorescence-labeled probes. Results. We have found that ITSN2-S expression is reliably reduced in HER2/neu-positive tumors with poor prognosis. There were no significant differences in the expression of ITSN2-L and TKS5-L in the analyzed samples. Conclusions. These studies have demonstrated the possible use of ITSN2 short isoform (ITSN2-S) as a prognostic marker for breast cancer. Keywords: breast cancer, ITSN2, TKS5, expression analysis.

Primary breast lymphoma (PBL) represents 0.04-0.5% of all malignant breast tumors, <1% of all patients with non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas and 1.7-2.2% of all patients with extra nodal lymphomas. Despite the high prevalence of breast cancer, primary breast lymphoma is very rare. We report a rare case of PBL, successfully treated with surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. This is the first case of PBL to be reported from Sudan to our knowledge.
