Neoplasms of the apocrine sweat glands accounted for 2.0 per cent and 3.6 per cent, respectively, of all canine and feline skin neoplasms diagnosed during a period of three years. They occurred in dogs from six to 17 years of age of both sexes, and golden retrievers appeared to be predisposed; they occurred in cats from six to 17 years of age and there were no breed or sex predilections. In both species, the neoplasms were usually solitary and occurred anywhere on the body; they were nearly always carcinomas and histologically were usually of the solid type. There were no clinical measurements that made it possible to distinguish reliably between benign and malignant lesions. No distant metastases were recorded, even though 22.5 per cent of the canine carcinomas had invaded the lymphatic system.
在三年期间诊断出的所有犬猫皮肤肿瘤中，顶泌汗腺肿瘤分别占2.0%和3.6%。它们发生在6至17岁的两性犬中，金毛猎犬似乎易患；发生在6至17岁的猫中，没有品种或性别偏好。在这两个物种中，肿瘤通常是单发的，发生在身体的任何部位；几乎都是癌，组织学上通常为实体型。没有临床测量方法能够可靠地区分良性和恶性病变。即使22.5%的犬癌已经侵犯了淋巴系统，也没有记录到远处转移。
