Lingual biopsies are a common type of sample submission at the Athens Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (AVDL). Here we describe the pathology diagnoses of 793 canine and 406 feline lingual biopsies submitted to the AVDL in a 10-y period. Non-neoplastic lesions accounted for 450 diagnoses (57%) in dogs and 239 diagnoses (59%) in cats. Canine non-neoplastic lesions consisted of inflammatory lesions (286 cases; 64% of non-neoplastic lesions) and tumor-like proliferative lesions (164 cases; 36% of non-neoplastic lesions). Feline non-neoplastic lesions consisted of inflammatory lesions (228 cases; 95% of non-neoplastic lesions) and tumor-like proliferative lesions (11 cases; 5% of non-neoplastic lesions). The most common canine neoplasms were melanocytic neoplasms (103 cases; 30% of neoplasms) and epithelial neoplasms (102 cases; 30% of neoplasms), followed by mesenchymal neoplasms (90 cases; 26% of neoplasms) and round cell neoplasms (48 cases; 14% of neoplasms). Approximately 43% of melanocytic neoplasms affected Chow Chows and Labrador Retrievers, and 20% of epithelial neoplasms affected Labrador Retrievers. In cats, most tumors were epithelial (158 cases; 94% of neoplasms), followed by mesenchymal (8 cases; 5% of neoplasms) and round cell neoplasms (1 case; 1% of neoplasms). Over 50% of neoplasms of cats affected domestic shorthair cats. Although the percentage of lingual biopsies that had a neoplastic diagnosis was roughly the same between species, the diversity of neoplasms was much greater in dogs than in cats.
舌活检是雅典兽医诊断实验室（AVDL）常见的样本送检类型。在此，我们描述了在10年期间提交至AVDL的793例犬类和406例猫类舌活检的病理诊断结果。非肿瘤性病变在犬类中占450例诊断（57%），在猫类中占239例诊断（59%）。犬类非肿瘤性病变包括炎性病变（286例；占非肿瘤性病变的64%）和肿瘤样增生性病变（164例；占非肿瘤性病变的36%）。猫类非肿瘤性病变包括炎性病变（228例；占非肿瘤性病变的95%）和肿瘤样增生性病变（11例；占非肿瘤性病变的5%）。最常见的犬类肿瘤是黑素细胞性肿瘤（103例；占肿瘤的30%）和上皮性肿瘤（102例；占肿瘤的30%），其次是间叶性肿瘤（90例；占肿瘤的26%）和圆形细胞肿瘤（48例；占肿瘤的14%）。约43%的黑素细胞性肿瘤发生于松狮犬和拉布拉多寻回犬，20%的上皮性肿瘤发生于拉布拉多寻回犬。在猫类中，大多数肿瘤是上皮性的（158例；占肿瘤的94%），其次是间叶性的（8例；占肿瘤的5%）和圆形细胞肿瘤（1例；占肿瘤的1%）。超过50%的猫类肿瘤发生于家养短毛猫。尽管不同物种间舌活检诊断为肿瘤的比例大致相同，但犬类肿瘤的多样性远高于猫类。
