Nine cases of mammary glandular hypertrophy in the cat are described. Three cases occurred in pregnant queens aged between six and eight months and one in an aged non-pregnant queen. The other cases were in neutered animals which had been treated with megestrol acetate for periods of between 14 months and five years. The pregnant queens were spayed and their mammae returned to normal; in the other cats the affected mammary glands were removed surgically. No recurrence occurred in seven cats in which adequate follow-up information was available. The importance of differentiating this benign lesion from mammary neoplasia is discussed.

PIP: This report is based on data from 9 cats: 4 were queens, of which 3 were pregnant, 5 were neutered cats, 2 male and 3 female, which had been receiving megestrol acetate (MA) for the treatment of miliary eczema for periods of 14 months to 5 years. In all cats the condition was painless. There was gross enlargement of the mammary glands. In 2 cases the skin over the glands was ulecerated. Ovaro-hysterectomy was done on the 3 pregnant queens. The other 6 cases were diagnosed from biopsy specimens. The lesions were then excised. Following ovaro-hysterectomy, the lesions softened and gradually regressed. In the neutered cats no recurrence occurred during the follow-up period. Histological studies showed only benign changes with fibroglandular hyperactivity. An excess of progesterone has been suggested as a cause. The MA therapy cannot be excluded as a cause in some cases. Differentiation of this condition from adenocarcinoma is important. The distinction may be made by histological study of biopsy specimens.
