Comparative cytomorphological characteristics changes in lymphadenopathy in dogs

This study was carried out to evaluate the usefulness of cytological technique in differential diagnosis of canine lymphadenopathies. The cytologic samples collected from 14 dogs with different condition of the lymph nodes. Air dried smears stained with Pappenheim stains observed in a microscopic field to cytomorphological analysis. The cytological diagnosis made from 14 cases were, 5 normal lymph node, 4 reactive lymph node, and 4 lymphomas. Conducted studies give reason to confirm that cytological method of research is a useful diagnostic procedure in differential diagnosis of canine lymphadenopathies because of its simplicity and rapidity.
