What my friends at ACC say about me: I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe. I love getting pets and - you guessed it - snuggles! I need a home without cats or small animals. I'm ready to learn! I need a patient person who has the time to work on training with me. I would do best in a home with only adult humans.

Perianal mass - raised nodular mass that appear to have small ulcerations on the surface, approx 3/4inch in diameter at the widest point. Pathology Report INTERPRETATION: Perianal mass: Perianal gland carcinoma, well-differentiated, ulcerated Mitotic count: 23 mitotic figures in 2.37 mm2 (equivalent to 10HPF) Histologic tumor-free margins: Clear, the nearest peripheral and deep margin are 1 mm Vascular invasion: Not present COMMENTS: This mass is most consistent with a perianal gland carcinoma. This is an uncommon, low grade malignant neoplasm of perianal gland origin. Peak incidence is 8-12 years of age. Breeds at risk include the Siberian Husky, Shih Tzu, and mixed breeds. Intact males are at increased risk. The rate of growth is variable, and the metastatic potential is low. Metastasis, if it occurs, is via lymphatics to sacral and internal iliac lymph nodes, with potential spread to other organs. Metastasis may be more common in poorly differentiated perianal carcinomas but may be infrequent in well-differentiated tumors.
