Abstract

Primary pulmonary neoplasms in dogs are considered uncommon in clinical routine; however, they may present aggressive biological behavior and significant prognostic relevance. Clinical presentation is often nonspecific and may include persistent cough, exercise intolerance, and respiratory alterations, which can delay diagnosis. The objective of this study was to report a case of primary pulmonary neoplasia in an 11-year-old male Pit Bull dog weighing 26.2 kg, presented with a history of recurrent cough. Thoracic radiographic examination revealed pulmonary nodular formations, and caudal lung lobectomy was performed. Histopathological evaluation of the surgical specimen confirmed the diagnosis of pulmonary adenocarcinoma. It is concluded that appropriate diagnostic investigation combined with surgical intervention represents a relevant approach in the management of primary pulmonary neoplasms, contributing to therapeutic planning and clinical follow-up of affected patients.
