Diagnostic cytology is a core veterinary pathology service involving specimens from domestic animals, laboratory animals, and exotic species. Evidence-based application of cytopathology involves management of preanalytical factors, and thorough evaluation of the diagnostic accuracy of the technique in each species and for all specimen types. Unique to veterinary medicine is the reliance on cytology as the basis for crucial medical decisions such as humane euthanasia, especially when the patient is critically ill or when financial considerations limit diagnostic and therapeutic options. This article reviews the cytologic criteria for the diagnosis of selected neoplastic and infectious diseases.
诊断细胞学是一项核心兽医病理学服务，涉及家畜、实验动物和外来物种的标本。基于证据的细胞病理学应用涉及分析前因素的管理，以及对该技术在每个物种和所有标本类型中的诊断准确性进行全面评估。兽医学特有的是依赖细胞学作为关键医疗决策（如人道安乐死）的依据，特别是当患者病情危急或经济因素限制诊断和治疗选择时。本文综述了选定的肿瘤性和感染性疾病诊断的细胞学标准。
