This is a report on the cytologic analysis of the mammary papillar discharge in a 7-year-old female Doberman dog with an invasive micropapillary carcinoma. Cytologic evaluation of nipple discharge is a well-known method for the rapid diagnosis of breast cancer in women. However, there is no previous report regarding the use of this technique for assessing mammary tumors in dogs. The aim of this study was to describe the use of mammary papillar discharge cytology for diagnosing a micropapillary carcinoma in a dog. Cytologically, evaluation of the papillar discharge revealed cells arranged in clusters in a papillary pattern or in a morula-like arrangement, suggesting the diagnosis of a micropapillary carcinoma, which was subsequently confirmed by histopathology. Thus, mammary papillar discharge cytology should be considered as an ancillary method for evaluating mammary diseases in dogs.
这是一份关于一只7岁雌性杜宾犬乳腺乳头溢液的细胞学分析报告,该犬患有浸润性微乳头癌。乳头溢液的细胞学评估是女性乳腺癌快速诊断的一种众所周知的方法。然而,此前尚无关于使用该技术评估犬乳腺肿瘤的报告。本研究的目的是描述乳腺乳头溢液细胞学在诊断犬微乳头癌中的应用。在细胞学上,对乳头溢液的评估显示细胞呈乳头状模式成簇排列或呈桑椹样排列,提示微乳头癌的诊断,随后经组织病理学证实。因此,乳腺乳头溢液细胞学应被视为评估犬乳腺疾病的辅助方法。
