Enxerto tegumentar autógeno parcial em malha como tratamento cirúrgico de carcinossarcoma superficial de pele em um cão – relato de caso

Abstract

Skin grafting refers to a reconstructive method used in cases of integumentary discontinuity, being an excellent option for covering lesions. Surgical defects resulting from the excision of cutaneous neoplasms are its main indication. A 13-year-old male SRD dog was treated at the São Lucas Veterinary Hospital, in the city of Ji-Paraná - RO, during the physical examination, a neoplastic mass was noticed on the lateral face of the left forelimb. The tegumentar grafting technique was chosen due to the length of the surgical cut and the scarcity of skin to approximate the incised edges, so the skin graft was removed from the left lateral region of the chest.
