A nine-month old, orange tabby, intact male cat was brought to our clinic with the complaint
of swelling in the mammary glands. In anamnesis; long acting progesterone was administered
to the cat in a private clinic for suppression of oestrus one week ago. As a result of clinical
examination, fibroepithelial hyperplasia was detected in all mammary glands. For the
purpose of treatment, aglepristone started to be used for sequential five days. Because
ulceration and necrosis occurred in the mammary glands at the end of the first week, the
treatment was completed with total mastectomy section. In this article, a case of
fibroepithelial mammary hyperplasia which was formed as a result of progesterone
administration to suppress the oestrus in a male cat is described.
