Abstract EN
Neoplastic disease is common in pet birds, particularly in psittacines, and treatment should be primarily aimed at tumor eradication.
Nineteen cases of pet birds submitted to diagnostic and/or therapeutic surgical procedures due to neoplastic disease characterized by the presence of visible masses were retrospectively analyzed; affected species, types of neoplasms and respective locations, and outcomes of surgical procedures were determined.
All birds undergoing surgery belonged to the order Psittaciformes; the Blue-fronted parrot (Amazona aestiva) was the prevalent species.
Lipoma was the most frequent neoplasm in the sample studied.
Most neoplasms affected the integumentary system, particularly the pericloacal area.
Tumor resection was the most common surgical procedure performed, with high resolution and low recurrence rates.
