Abstract
RESUMO O presente estudo objetivou caracterizar os aspectos anatomopatológicos e imuno-histoquímicos dos tumores das glândulas cutâneas em cães. A caracterização morfológica seguiu a classificação atualizada da Organização Mundial de Saúde. Para a caracterização imuno-histoquímica, utilizaram-se anticorpos monoclonais primários anti-citoqueratina 14 (CK14), vimentina, p63, calponina, EGFR e Ki-67. Dos animais examinados, 66,67% (18/27) eram machos e 33,33% (9/27) fêmeas, 21 tinham raça definida e seis eram sem raça definida (SRD), com idade variando entre sete e 15 anos. Dos tumores caracterizados, 40,74% eram hepatoides (11/27), 29,63% sebáceos (8/27), 25,92% apócrinos (7/27) e 3,70% meibômio (1/27). Os tumores malignos representaram 55,56%, e os benignos 44,44%. Com esses resultados, foi possível demonstrar que os tumores das glândulas cutâneas em cães são frequentes, sem predileção por raça, sexo e com idade superior ou igual a sete anos. Os anticorpos CK 14, p63, vimentina e EGFR foram imunoexpressos nas células basais, células de diferenciação sebácea dos tumores hepatoides e de meibômio e células mioepiteliais. Entretanto, a vimentina e o EGFR não demonstraram imunomarcação para os tumores sebáceos. A calponina foi um bom marcador para as células mioepiteliais. O índice de Ki-67 foi mais acentuado nos tumores malignos em relação aos benignos. No entanto, estudos futuros utilizando maior número de casos se fazem necessários.

Eur J Histochem 2016; 60:2609. [PMID: 27349313 PMCID: PMC4933824 DOI: 10.4081/ejh.2016.2609] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2015] [Revised: 03/16/2016] [Accepted: 03/01/2016] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Circumanal gland tumors are very common neoplasms of dogs. Their classification relies on microscopic examination and is further supported by a few immunohistochemical markers that help indicate their prognosis. However, new additional tests would be highly useful. The purpose of this study was to develop such a test using fractal analysis which is increasingly being applied in science, especially in the field of biomedicine. A total of 53 circumanal gland tumors were chosen from our department archives. After a precise histological classification according to the World Health Organization classification, the number of de novo classified samples was as follows: 15 adenomas, 11 epitheliomas, 21 well differentiated carcinomas, 6 poorly differentiated carcinomas. Ten samples of normal circumanal gland were also included as control. All samples were immunohistochemicaly stained with vimentin. All immunohistochemical reactions were photographed at two different magnifications -100X and 400X- and converted to 1 bit in black and white (bitmap) images, thus enhancing the positive vimentin reactions. These images were used for the assessment of fractal dimension applying the box counting method and computer software Fractalyse. To determine the significance of results, conventional statistics were performed using Statistica software. The overall vimentin stain score was significantly higher in epitheliomas and carcinomas than in normal circumanal glands (CG) or adenomas. Mean values of fractal dimension estimated at magnification 100X and 400X were as follows: normal CG 1.318 and 1.372, CG adenomas 1.384 and 1.408, CG epitheliomas 1.547 and 1.597, CG well differentiated carcinomas 1.569 and 1.607, CG poorly differentiated carcinomas 1.679 and 1.723. Significant differences (at level of 5%) of these values were observed between individual groups of CG adenomas or normal CG, and epitheliomas or carcinomas. The above results indicate vimentin immunohistochemistry staining and assessment of fractal dimension as an ancillary diagnostic method of choice when discerning between benign and malignant tumors of circumanal glands. Additional development of the method of fractal dimension assessment may yield a possibility for this tool to successfully discern between all of the types of CG tumors.

Abstract
Forty-seven canine cutaneous epithelial tumors and cysts were examined to determine coordinate expression of cytokeratins 7 (CK7) and 14 (CK14), vimentin, and Bcl-2 using commercially available antibodies. Within non-affected normal skin adjacent to tumors or cysts, CK7 expression was observed in luminal cells in apocrine glands; CK14 expression was observed in the stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, basal layer of outer root sheath, sebaceous glands, and myoepithelial cells of apocrine glands; vimentin expression was observed in dermal papilla and scattered non-epithelial cells within the epidermis; and Bcl-2 expression was observed in scattered non-epithelial cells in the epidermis and some apocrine glands. The pattern of expression of CK7 and CK14 in cases of adenocarcinoma of the apocrine gland of the anal sac (CK7+/CK14-) and hepatoid gland tumors (CK7-/CK14+) may prove useful for diagnostic purposes. Loss of expression of CK14 and vimentin, identifying myoepithelial cells, was observed in apocrine and ceruminous adenocarcinomas. Differences in patterns of expression of Bcl-2 were observed between infundibular keratinizing acanthomas compared to trichoepitheliomas.

J Comp Pathol 2013; 149:199-207.

Abstract
Histological features and expression of neuroendocrine markers were examined in 69 samples of canine anal sac glandular carcinomas (ASGCs). The tumours were classified into solid, rosette and tubular types and mixtures of these types. Tumour-associated death in dogs with solid tumours and mixed tumours with solid components was higher than in dogs with rosette and tubular type tumours. Chromogranin A immunoreactivity was observed in 28 of 69 samples (40.6%) irrespective of histological type and was localized to the marginal areas of the tumour nest and the basal areas of the tubular and rosette structures. Neuron-specific enolase immunoreactivity in neoplastic epithelial cells was observed in 32 cases (46.4%) and was less frequently observed in the tubular type (14.3%). Synaptophysin expression was present in 15.9% of cases and was least frequent in the tubular type. Twenty-one of the 69 samples expressed more than two neuroendocrine markers and were classified as carcinomas with neuroendocrine differentiation. There was no relationship between neuroendocrine differentiation and clinical outcome. These results suggest that some ASGCs have neuroendocrine differentiation regardless of histological pattern, but clinical outcome is more related to the histological pattern than to neuroendocrine differentiation.

Abstract
A 10-year-old intact female Shetland Sheepdog with tenesmus had a subcutaneous mass at the left ventral aspect of the anus. On cytologic examination, 2 types of cells were observed. Most of the cells were oval to polygonal and had elliptical or elongate nuclei and a moderate amount of pale to basophilic cytoplasm. The remaining cells had round to oval nuclei and pale to basophilic cytoplasm. Cells of both types were loosely adhered to each other and were arranged in rosette-like structures. Both neoplastic cell types had fine homogenous chromatin and either a small indistinct nucleolus or no visible nucleolus. Mild anisokaryosis and anisocytosis were observed. Histologically, the mass consists of glandular structures formed by cuboidal cells admixed with bundles of spindle cells. Eosinophilic PAS- and Alcian blue-positive secretory material was found in the center of some glandular structures. Both neoplastic cell types had positive staining with paradoxical concanavalin A and expressed cytokeratin, but not vimentin, S-100, α-smooth muscle actin, or desmin. Based on location and histologic and immunohistochemical features, the final diagnosis was adenocarcinoma of the apocrine gland of the anal sac, which should be included as a cytologic differential diagnosis when spindle cells and typical epithelial cells are observed in masses in the region of the anal sac of dogs.

Abstract
A perianal subcutaneous tumor involving the anal sac developed in an 8-year-old male mixed Labrador Retriever dog. Histologically, this tumor showed typical features of the solid-type carcinoma of the apocrine glands of the anal sac. However, neoplastic cells were immunoreactive for cytokeratin 8, chromogranin A, vasoactive intestinal peptide, neuron-specific enolase, and synaptophysin, and negative for S-100 protein, α-smooth muscle actin, vimentin, glucagon, insulin, somatostatin, carcinoembryonic antigen, serotonin, and parathyroid hormone-related protein. Considering the distribution of chromogranin A-positive cells within the anal sac apocrine glands, this tumor was diagnosed as neuroendocrine carcinoma originating from the apocrine glands of the anal sac.

Abstract
Perineal apocrine carcinoma is a rare malignant tumor that has its origin in the apocrine sudoriparous glands of the genital and perianal regions. It often progresses quietly and metastasizes in the superficial inguinal and retrorectal lymph nodes. We report a case of a genital apocrine carcinoma located at the penile basis. To our knowledge our report represents the first case of a pathologically confirmed genital apocrine carcinoma mimicking a penile cancer.

Abstract
Background Hepatic fibrosis is a common outcome of hepatic injury in both man and dog. Activated fibroblasts which develop myofibroblastic characteristics play an essential role in hepatic fibrogenesis, and are comprised of three subpopulations: 1) portal or septal myofibroblasts, 2) interface myofibroblasts and 3) the perisinusoidally located hepatic stellate cells (HSC). The present study was performed to investigate the immunohistochemical characteristics of canine portal myofibroblasts (MF) and HSC in the normal unaffected liver as a basis for further studies on fibrogenesis in canine liver disease. Results In the formalin-fixed and paraffin embedded normal canine liver vimentin showed staining of hepatic fibroblasts, probably including MF in portal areas and around hepatic veins; however, HSC were in general negative. Desmin proved to react with both portal MF and HSC. A unique feature of these HSC was the positive immunostaining for alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and muscle-specific actin clone HHF35 (HHF35), also portal MF stained positive with these antibodies. Synaptophysin and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) were consistently negative in the normal canine liver. In a frozen chronic hepatitis case (with expected activated hepatic MF and HSC), HSC were negative to synaptophysin, GFAP and NCAM. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) immunogold labelling for α-SMA and HHF35 recognized the positive cells as HSC situated in the space of Disse. Conclusion In the normal formalin-fixed and paraffin embedded canine liver hepatic portal MF and HSC can be identified by α-SMA, HHF35 and to a lesser extent desmin immunostaining. These antibodies can thus be used in further studies on hepatic fibrosis. Synaptophysin, GFAP and NCAM do not seem suitable for marking of canine HSC. The positivity of HSC for α-SMA and HHF35 in the normal canine liver may eventually reflect a more active regulation of hepatic sinusoidal flow by these HSC compared to other species.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to test the potential use of commercially available antibodies generated against human cytokeratins in differentiating canine epithelial tumours in cytological samples. Immunocytochemical staining procedures were performed on 183 different primary epithelial canine tissues (including hyperplasia [n=7], dysplasia [n=3], benign [n=54] and malignant [n=119] neoplasia) and 20 distant metastases of 13 of the malignant tumours. All epithelial tumours and their metastases stained distinctly positive with broad spectrum anti-cytokeratin AE1/AE3. Immunocytological reactions with broad spectrum anti-cytokeratin KL1 produced less reliable results. Numerous negative reactions were found, especially in columnar epithelium tumours, whereas squamous epithelium tumours were KL1-positive. In most cases specific antibodies CK7, CK8,CK14,CK18 and CK20 showed similar reaction patterns when compared to reactivity in human tissues. Immunocytological staining was found to be a reliable and valuable diagnostic technique when combined with conventional cytology and may be especially suitable for the differentiation of undifferentiated epithelial tumours and distant metastases of unknown origin.

Abstract
The canine transmissible venereal tumour is a naturally occurring contagious round-cell neoplasia which is primarily located in the mucous membrane of the external genitalia in dogs of either sex. In order to specify the controversial cytogenetic origin of this round-cell tumour, 14 cases of canine transmissible venereal tumour, formalin- or Bouin-fixed and paraffin-embedded, were subjected to extensive immunophenotypic analysis using reagents specific to a variety of cytoplasmic or surface antigens: lysozyme, ACM1 antigen, vimentin, neuron-specific enolase, glial fibrillary acidic protein, desmin, alpha smooth muscle actin, CD3, IgG, kappa and lambda light chains, and keratin. Lysozyme immunoreactivity was detected in all cases, ACM1 antigen in 11 of 14, neuron-specific enolase in 11 of 14, vimentin in 10 of 14, glial fibrillary acidic protein in 4 of 14 and desmin in 1 of 14. All the sections were negative to keratins, alpha smooth muscle actin and CD3, whereas in five cases, perivascular tumour cells contained Ig G, kappa and lambda light chains. The immunoreactivity to lysozyme and ACM1 antigen supports the hypothesis of a histiocytic immunophenotype for the canine transmissible venereal tumour.
