https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/clinical-questions/21278/cytology-from-massHi, I took a FNA from a mass on a dog&#39;s neck today to look at in house. The only problem is that I&#39;m not too hot on cytology. The dog presented unwell with a sudden onset swelling and off her food. The swelling is quite firm and diffuse.

I&#39;ll probably arrange to take a biopsy if it&#39;s not miraculously improved at the re check.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/128642?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 22 Jan 2015 14:10:04 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:5a35864b-99ca-43d8-9c4f-bedb90ec5566Gerry Polton<p>Hi Liz</p> <p>It looks like a mixed lymphoid population to me. Surprisingly scant cells for a lymph node aspirate. Does that mean it was not actually from a lymph node? If you got this population of cells from a non-lymphoid organ then you have lymphoma, albeit a very pleomorphic lymphoma. I reckon it would be worth an incisional biopsy.</p> <p>Best wishes</p> <p>Gerry</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/128641?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 22 Jan 2015 14:03:11 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:8a9ccc0a-90d6-4bd3-a7a2-460c2cfdc94cAndrew Mellor<p>great picture from your phone , to me these look like a mixed population of lymphocytes , Lymphoma would be top of my list but I am absolutely prepared to be shot down in flames over this one cytology leave me scratching my head too. </p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
