Malignant tumours of the mammary gland in the female cat metastasize, especially through the lymphatic system. However, the anatomical knowledge of this system in cats is not sufficient to develop a reasoned model for the extirpation of these glands in the case of malignant tumours. A study of the topography of the collector vessels in 50 female cats was conducted by indirect injection in vivo of India ink inside the mammary parenchyma. All the lymph nodes were controlled by microscopic examination and lymph vessels were examined after clearing. The success rate of the colouration of the lymph vessels was 76.4%. Clearing showed several principal routes of drainage, different for each gland. Contrary to the presentation observed in the bitch, no evidence existed in any of the 65 cases of lymphatic plexuses connecting the two mammary glands of each row in the female cat. The result of this study is in favour of the development of a new model for the surgical extirpation of mammary tumours in cats.
雌性猫的乳腺恶性肿瘤会发生转移，尤其是通过淋巴系统。然而，猫的淋巴系统解剖学知识还不足以建立一个合理的模型，用于在乳腺恶性肿瘤病例中切除这些腺体。通过在乳腺实质内活体间接注射印度墨水，对50只雌性猫的收集血管的局部解剖进行了研究。所有淋巴结均通过显微镜检查进行对照，淋巴管在清除后进行检查。淋巴管染色成功率为76.4%。清除显示出几条主要的引流途径，每个腺体各不相同。与母犬中观察到的情况相反，在65例雌性猫的每一排的两个乳腺之间连接的淋巴丛中，没有任何证据表明存在这种情况。这项研究的结果有利于开发一种新的猫乳腺肿瘤手术切除模型。
