“…Evidence of spread was hard to determine because of the large size of the tumour. Pre-operative cytological samples were not taken because of limitations in overall correspondence between the cytological and histopathological findings for liver and splenic nodular masses (O'Keefe and Couto 1987;Kuntz et al 1997;Wang et al 2004;Bellegeer et al 2007). Therefore, apart from stopping the bleeding and providing a palliative relief of discomfort, the surgery was also utilised as a diagnostic tool.…”

ABSTRACT:A 13-year-old spayed bitch was referred for evaluation of an abdominal distension with a palpable, continuously growing mass. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed a 30 × 20 cm mass directly connected to the spleen. Surgical exploration confirmed the sonographic diagnosis with adhesions to the omentum and the liver. Pathohistological samples revealed well differentiated adipose tissue and variably differentiated collagenous and myxomatous tissue. Immunohistochemically, vimentin and in some regions alpha smooth muscle actin were expressed indicating smooth muscle differentiation. The results support the diagnosis of a malignant mesenchymoma composed of liposarcoma, mixosarcoma and leiomyosarcoma. No local recurrence or metastasis occurred during a nine month follow-up. So far, only two pathological retrospective studies describing the common prevalence and properties of canine splenic malignant mesenchymomas were found in the literature. However, this rare tumor entity has to be considered as a differential diagnosis in cases of large splenic masses.

“…Wang et al ( 2004 ) described ultrasound-guided FNA of the liver as having 'serious limitations when used to identify the primary disease process in dogs and cats with clinical evidence of liver disease', with cytological findings showing agreement with histopathological results in only 30% of dogs and 51% of cats. Cytological evaluation appears most effective in the diagnosis of fatty change and neoplastic disease and least effective in the diagnosis of inflammatory, dysplastic or hyperplastic conditions (Cohen et al 2003, Bahr et al 2013.…”

With the improved accessibility to ultrasound, fine needle aspiration of abdominal organs is now performed frequently in many veterinary practices. Despite this, there are many ‘unknowns’ as to the best method to produce a high‐quality sample. This report begins by highlighting recent literature on the risks and benefits of abdominal fine needle aspiration. It follows with recommendations about the equipment and method best suited to the procedure, including needle and syringe size and aspiration versus non‐aspiration techniques. Various smear preparations and laboratory submission requirements are also discussed. The final aspect of the review more specifically discusses fine needle aspiration of specific abdominal organs: the liver, kidney, spleen, pancreas, urinary bladder, prostate and abdominal lymph nodes.

“…Aspiration cytology was found to be of diagnostic value in only 30-61% of cases compared with histology in studies comparing liver biopsy and fine-needle aspiration in dogs and cats (Roth 2001;Wang et al 2004). In comparison to surgical wedge samples, large-gauge needle-biopsies were of diagnostic value in only 48% of cases and they should be interpreted with a certain degree of caution (Cole et al 2002).…”

Evaluation of diagnostic coelioscopy including liver and kidney biopsies in cinereous vultures (Aegypius monachus)

Diagnostic coelioscopy, including liver and kidney biopsies, was performed in seven cinereous vultures (Aegypius monachus). A 5-mm endoscopy system was used for examination of coelomic viscera. The endoscopist rated the ease of entry into the coelom and visualisation. Coelioscopic biopsy was performed using a 5-mm biopsy forceps following the diagnostic coelioscopy, and the diagnostic quality of the samples was evaluated. The endoscopic entry and visualisation scores ranged from satisfactory to excellent for all coelomic structures, except for the oesophagus, spleen, epididymis/oviduct and pancreas in all vultures. The coelioscopic examinations of coelomic structures and biopsy samples were carried out safely and easily. The biopsy samples were suitable for histopathological examination. Thus, minimally invasive coelioscopy using a 5-mm endoscopy system can be considered a useful technique suitable for visceral examination of large raptors such as cinereous vultures.

Accuracy of ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration of the liver and cytologic findings in dogs and cats: 97 cases (1990–2000)

Abstract: Acknowledging the limitations of cytology and the extent of discrepancies between cytologic and histopathologic findings in dogs and cats will help clinicians make better decisions in diagnosing liver disease.
