Sixty-four canine cutaneous round cell tumors were divided into 25 mast cell tumors, 15 histiocytomas, nine cutaneous lymphosarcomas and 15 transmissible venereal tumors. The final diagnosis was made from cytologic, clinical and histologic findings. Cytologic features were significantly distinctive in mast cell tumor, transmissible venereal tumor, and most cases of histiocytoma and lymphosarcoma to allow a diagnostic opinion. This opinion was supported by subsequent histologic examination. In some instances cytology was considered essential in rendering a diagnostic opinion even though histology was available.
64例犬皮肤圆形细胞瘤分为25例肥大细胞瘤、15例组织细胞瘤、9例皮肤淋巴瘤和15例传染性性病肿瘤。最终诊断基于细胞学、临床和组织学检查结果。肥大细胞瘤、传染性性病肿瘤以及大多数组织细胞瘤和淋巴瘤病例的细胞学特征具有显著差异，可据此做出诊断意见。这一意见得到了后续组织学检查的支持。在某些情况下，即使有组织学检查结果，细胞学检查对于做出诊断意见也被认为是必不可少的。
