RESUMO

Neoplastic diseases are generally seen in some avian species, nevertheless, in Brazil, there are no reports regarding cause and classification of these diseases in birds. As keeping birds as pets is increasing, it is important to upgrade knowledge in this area. This report, made retrospectively in 2000 to 2004 and prospectively in 2005 and 2006 in the Avian Clinic of Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Department of Pathology, School Veterinary Medicine of University of São Paulo, has the objectives of studying the frequency and prevalence of neoplastic diseases in birds, and evaluating them by histopathology and immunohistochemistry, comparing results with literature. The results agree in part with those found in literature, the budgerigar is the most prevalent specie and lipoma as the most common neoplasm. The use of immunohistochemistry is indicated, but more studies regarding histopathology and investment are necessary in diagnosis and research in tumoral biology, developing more researches in this area.
