Cytology canine

  • With this technique, a sterile scalpel blade is held at right angles to the skin and firmly dragged across the skin surface several times, scraping away the top layers of skin cells.
    The material that accumulates on the scalpel blade is spread thinly on a glass slide.

Can cytology be used to grade mast cell tumors?

Cytology cannot be used to grade mast cell tumors; grading always requires histology, because it does not depend on only cell morphology.
The cells are fragile, and often there are large numbers of granules in the background that have been released from damaged cells.

When Is Cytology Performed?

Cytology is most often used to diagnose the nature of 'lumps and bumps' found on the surface of the body.
However, cytology can also be used to evaluate: 1. internal organs, such as the liver, lungs, lymph nodes, and kidneys 2. body fluids, such as joint fluid 3. abnormal accumulations of fluids (called effusions), especially in the chest and abdom.
