Mass on dorsal paw-aspirated SPECIMENS RECEIVED 1 smear MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION Across the smear examined, cytological findings revealed mild to moderate protein deposition accompanied by an increased population of variably sized epithelial cell clusters some of which were composed of basal epithelial cells (which generally displayed a uniform appearance) whilst others were composed of mature sebocytes. Occasional macrophages were also seen scattered throughout the background. No obvious micro-organisms were seen. DIAGNOSIS Benign epithelial/glandular neoplasm COMMENT Cytological findings here were consistent with a sebaceous gland adenoma. Nodular sebaceous gland hyperplasia could also not be completely excluded but was considered less likely. Recommend incisional/excisional biopsy and histopathological examination for further investigation and definitive diagnosis although complete surgical excision should be curative.    Vital Signs
