Özet
An 11-year-old, male, crossbreed cat was presented for a subcutaneous mass affecting the prescapular region extending to the thoracic vertebrae. The diagnosis of fibrosarcoma was made according to the histopathological examination of the biopsy. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDX) was used to determine the presence of aluminium in the tumor tissue. The owner did not accept further treatment, so the cat died 1 month after diagnosis. This is the first case report from Turkey which diagnoses verified by SEM and has shown that aluminium-containing vaccines may be associated with fibrosarcoma formation. Awareness of the side effects of adjuvants is still not enough level. Determining the frequency of VAS in fibrosarcoma cases will contribute to the increase of life span/ survival by protective measures. The aim of this case report is to draw attention to the adjuvant contents of the vaccines and to scrutinize the relationship between vaccine applications and tumor development. © 2019, Agricultural Research Communication Centre.
