Even though tumours are considered to occur frequently in pet hamsters, there is only a small number of scientific reports in current literature.
Pathological reports from 177 hamsters were evaluated.
Of these, 78 were male and 75 were female. Median age of affected hamsters was 12 months (range 2-34). Integumental tumours were the most common neoplasms (62%, 109/177). As far as species was known, the number of Syrian hamsters (52%, 30/58) affected by tumours seemed to be lower than the number of affected dwarf hamsters (85%, 47/55). Tumours of the hematopoietic system were the second most frequently neoplasms (17%, 30/177). Relative number of neoplasms of the endocrine system, tumours of the digestive system (1.7%, 3/177) and other tumours (4%, 7/177 each) was low. The majority of integumental tumours were epithelial (66%; 91/126).
This study aimed to analyze data from veterinary surgeries and pathological institutes about the occurrence of spontaneous tumours in Syrian hamsters and dwarf hamsters to give information about the frequency of tumours, prognosis and survival time. This is the first study about tumours in pet hamsters in Germany so far.
尽管肿瘤被认为在宠物仓鼠中频繁发生，但目前文献中仅有少量科学报道。
评估了 177 只仓鼠的病理报告。
其中雄性 78 只，雌性 75 只。受影响仓鼠的中位年龄为 12 个月（范围 2-34）。皮肤肿瘤是最常见的肿瘤（62%，109/177）。就已知物种而言，受肿瘤影响的叙利亚仓鼠（52%，30/58）数量似乎低于受影响的 dwarf 仓鼠（85%，47/55）。造血系统肿瘤是第二常见的肿瘤（17%，30/177）。内分泌系统肿瘤、消化系统肿瘤（1.7%，177/30）和其他肿瘤（4%，177/7）的相对数量较低。大多数皮肤肿瘤为上皮性（66%，91/126）。
本研究旨在分析兽医手术和病理研究所关于叙利亚仓鼠和 dwarf 仓鼠自发性肿瘤发生的数据，以提供有关肿瘤频率、预后和存活时间的信息。这是迄今为止德国首例关于宠物仓鼠肿瘤的研究。
