  • Title: Cutaneous clear cell adnexal carcinoma in a dog: special reference to cytokeratin expression.
    Author: YASUNO K, NISHIYAMA S, SUETSUGU F, OGIHARA K, MADARAME H, SHIROTA K.
    Journal: J Vet Med Sci; 2009 Nov; 71(11):1513-7. PubMed ID: 19959904.
    Abstract:
    A 5-year-old, male Bichon-Frise dog presented with a cutaneous mass in the basal region of the auricle. Histologically, the cutaneous neoplasm was comprised of lobules with solid cellular proliferation separated by thin fibrous septa. Neoplastic cells varied in size, with moderate to abundant amounts of PAS-positive cytoplasm, large nuclei and prominent nucleoli. Immunohistochemical examinations showed that tumor cells were positive for pan-cytokeratin (CK) (AE1/AE3 and CAM5.2), CK8 and CK18, but negative for pan-CK (KL1), CK7, CK14, CK16 and CK20. Double-labeled immunofluorescence testing indicated that neoplastic cells frequently co-expressed CK and vimentin, suggesting divergent differentiation of tumor cells. Based on these findings, the tumor was diagnosed as canine clear cell adnexal carcinoma.
