 This time it is a Brtish Short Hair male cat of 13 years of age.Anorexia and weight loss. 
 I felt a mass and I scanned it . I couldn&amp;#39;t quite tell if where the mass was arising from.first I thought it was the spleen but then I thought I could see</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 10</generator><item><title>Re: Another FNA of an abdominal mass</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/36625?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 20 Apr 2011 09:59:01 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:89e790f5-6ae4-4a6c-8b98-6f7119cccc90</guid><dc:creator>Richard Fox</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Andre&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I can see ++ RBC&amp;#39;s and neutrophils. The smaller darker cells I feel are likely naked nuclei of the larger intact granular cells. Given the ragged irregular nuclei I feel this might be artefact. The granules (presumably stained with diff quik?) do not look metachromatic but visceral mast cells in cats sometimes do not stain magenta. I feel a MCT is unlikely - could these be carcinoma cells - they are HUGE! There does seem to be poss. elevated neuts - could these be reactive mesothelial cells?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Another FNA of an abdominal mass</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/36611?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 19 Apr 2011 23:12:31 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:23c9f2e1-6faf-452b-8667-30e3a2f26d7d</guid><dc:creator>Andre Escudeiro-Vieites</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Initially I thought they were macrophages with bacteria in them, but the much smaller cells with rounder nucleus and hardly any cytoplasm also have this inclusions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Are all&amp;nbsp; these cells of the same origin but with anysocoriasis and anysocytosis?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
