Gastric mucinous adenocarcinoma with cutaneous metastases in a dog: diagnosis by fine-needle aspiration cytology / M. Dell'Orco, W. Bertazzolo, M. Vergine, M. Ferla, S. Pozzo, M. Rondena, P. Roccabianca. - In: JOURNAL OF SMALL ANIMAL PRACTICE. - ISSN 0022-4510. - 46:9(2005), pp. 449-453.
Abstract:
A 12-year-old, intact, male mixed-breed dog was presented with anorexia, vomiting and multiple cutaneous nodules on its neck, trunk and hindlimbs. Fine-needle aspiration cytology of the nodules was characterised by a pleomorphic population of cells arranged singly or in small cohesive clusters, embedded in an amorphous mucinous material stained positive by periodic acid-Schiff (PAS). Acinar structures were occasionally found. Cells appeared either small with scant basophilic cytoplasm or large with a histiocytic appearance. Large cells had cytoplasm filled with a PAS-positive granular material. A presumptive diagnosis of cutaneous metastases of a mucinous adenocarcinoma was made. A primary, gastric, signet-ring mucinous adenocarcinoma was confirmed at postmortem examination and by histopathology. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of a gastric mucinous adenocarcinoma with cutaneous disseminated metastases in a dog.
