RELATÓRIO DE ESTÁGIO CURRICULAR E TRABALHO DE CONCLUSÃO DO CURSO INTITULADO: LOBECTOMIA TOTAL EM CÃO COM ADENOCARCINOMA PULMONAR DE PADRÃO ACINAR

Abstract

Primary lung tumors in dogs, although infrequent, represent a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge in veterinary medicine. Pulmonary lobectomy is considered the treatment of choice for solitary and resectable neoplasms, and can be performed via intercostal thoracotomy or minimally invasive techniques. This paper describes the case of a dog that underwent lobectomy for the removal of a primary lung neoplasm, including clinical findings, complementary examinations, surgical approach, and postoperative evolution. The reported case shows that despite the proper execution of the procedure and the adoption of intensive monitoring measures, the patient initially presented a favorable evolution, but developed acute respiratory distress in the preoperative period, culminating in cardiorespiratory arrest and death. This event is consistent with complications described in the literature, such as acute respiratory failure and ventilatory failure after major thoracic surgeries.
