  • Mammary gland hyperplasia also called as benign mammary hypertrophy, mammary fibroadenomatosis, and fibroglandular mammary hypertrophy. It is progesterone-dependent enlargement of one or more mammary glands. Clinical signs that appeared are localized or diffuse enlargement of one or more mammary glands. The visible masses are firm and no pain observed. No concurrent sign of systemic illness. The differential diagnosis of mammary gland are mastitis and mammary neoplasia. The treatment for the case of mammary hypertrophy was due to high endogenous progesterone regresses when progesterone fall at the end of gestation or pregnancy. Hypertrophy that occurs due to administration of exogenous progesterone’s regresses when the medications was withdrawn. The surgery procedure which is ovariohysterectomy must be considered and the cats should not intended for breeding.Dexamethasone as an anti-inflammatory drug was used to overcome the inflammatory reaction that occurs due to the open wounds lesion when performing mammocentesis or wounds that caused by licked activity. Dexamethasone will bind to glucocorticoid receptors in the cell of mammary gland with very high affinity. This may stimulate the antiinflammatory process, so the proliferation of cell may be reduced.
