 ==Introduction==
 [[Mammary Neoplasia|Mammary Neoplasia]] is common in the rat. The most common tumour type is a '''benign fibroadenoma'''. Mammary tissue is extensive in the rat, extending from the neck to the flanks, so mammary neoplasia should be considered when a rat is presented with a mass within this region.

Unless the mass is ulcerated or suspected to be malignant, the skin overlying the tumour should not be removed. Ligate any blood vessels supplying the tumour and close the wound in a routine manner. Use a subcuticular suture pattern or skin staples because rodents frequently chew at sutures an may remove them. An Elizabethan collar may be needed. Although metastasis is rare, radiographs should be performed prior to surgery. Common sites of metastasis are regional lymph nodes, abdominal viscera and the lungs<br> '''Euthanasia:''' Should be considered if the mass is not amenable to surgical resection or if the mass is preventing normal locomotion.

 ==Clinical Signs==
-The rat may present with one or more '''subcutaneous''' masses, which are encapsulated in the cases of benign fibroadenomas. The masses can be of variable size and may become very large. They may ulcerate and begin to prevent normal activities such as eating, drinking and moving.<br><br><br>

 ==Prognosis==
 Prognosis is '''good''' with successful surgical excision, however it is common for the mass to '''recur''' either elsewhere or in the same location as the original mass. It is rare for the mass to become malignant.<br><br><br>
