Abstract
64 skin and mammary neoplasms of 56 dogs were examined by cytological and histological methods. It was the aim of this study to evaluate fin e needle aspiration, imprint and scraping techniques as methods of pro viding samples for cytological diagnosis. Neoplasia was detected in 57 of all cases examined. In 35 instances, the histogenetic origin of th e tumor was determined correctly. A specific diagnosis was attained fo r 34 tumors. In conclusion, cytological methods provide a screening te st for neoplasia.
