Nuclear morphometry in cytopathology: a prognostic indicator for canine cutaneous mast cell tumors.
Twenty-nine canine cutaneous mast cell tumors (MCTs) were morphometrically analyzed with regard to mean nuclear area (MNA) using cytopathology smears. The results showed a correlation between MNA and survival. When graded into 2 morphometrically different groups, there were statistically significant differences among high- and low-grade MCTs, regarding both Romanowsky-type stain and hematoxylin...

ABST RACT The most common skin tumor in dogs is the mast cell tumor, with an incidence of close to 20% in the canine population. The behavior and progression of MCT are highly heterogeneous, and range from relatively benign to extremely aggressive tumors. There are many treatment options for dogs with mast cell tumors, including surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Although surgical exc...
متن کاملMicrovessel density is as a prognostic factor in canine cutaneous mast cell tumors
Background Mast cell tumors represent almost 25% of canine skin neoplasms. These tumors are classified in three grades of differentiation, based on histological features. However, this grading system is a method based on subjective parameters, which generate intraand interobserver variations. The microcirculation is an important feature to the primary tumor expansion, dissemination and metastas...
متن کاملCanine Mast Cell Tumors
Initial work up of a mast cell tumor (MCT)will involve diagnosis by FNA and staging. The initial staging performed will depend on the index of suspicion that the mass is a grade II or III MCT and clinician’s preference. Cytology is generally diagnostic for MCT. However, an incisional biopsy to determine grade is recommended in some cases. The histological grade may be important to determine in ...
متن کاملTreatment Recommendations for Canine Mast Cell Tumors
INTRODUCTION Canine mast cell tumors (MCT) are one of the most common tumors in veterinary oncology. They also are one of the most frustrating to treat. The biologic behavior of these tumors varies widely. Many have a benign behavior and are cured with surgery alone. However, some mast cell tumors are malignant. They can be very locally invasive, they can metastasize, and they can be fatal. The...
