The authors evaluated the accuracy of the fine needle aspiration cytology technique in the diagnosis of 77 canine mammary gland tumours using the same cytological and histological criteria currently applied to the diagnosis of human breast cancer.
The study was performed in 73 pure or mixed-breed female dogs submitted to surgical resections of 'mammary tumours'. All cytological smears were stained by routine May-Grunwald-Giemsa and Papanicolaou stains.
We obtained a correct cyto-histological correlation in 52/77 cases (67.5%) when all cytopathological examinations were considered, and in 52/56 cases (92.9%) when the inconclusive cases were excluded from the analysis.
Our results demonstrate that, because of the similarity of the cytological findings in the human and canine mammary gland tumours, it is possible to use the same cytological criteria applied in human pathology for the diagnosis of canine mammary gland tumours.
作者运用目前应用于人类乳腺癌诊断的相同细胞学和组织学标准,评估细针穿刺细胞学技术在诊断77例犬乳腺肿瘤中的准确性。
该研究对73只接受“乳腺肿瘤”手术切除的纯种或混血雌性犬进行。所有细胞学涂片均采用常规的美蓝-吉姆萨染色和巴氏染色。
当考虑所有细胞病理学检查时,77例中有52例(67.5%)获得了正确的细胞-组织学相关性;当排除不确定病例进行分析时,56例中有52例(92.9%)获得了正确的细胞-组织学相关性。
我们的结果表明,由于人类和犬乳腺肿瘤的细胞学表现相似,因此可以使用人类病理学中应用的相同细胞学标准来诊断犬乳腺肿瘤。
