Abstract

Background: Ganglion cysts (GCs) are rare conditions in both dogs and humans; thus, descriptions that aid in diagnosis are scarce; however, some differences exist that help us distinguish between them.

Case description: This case report presents a young female Dalmatian who developed a subcutaneous 6-cm nodule near the right ischial tuberosity, with irregular borders, slight mobility, and no pain. Fine needle aspiration cytology revealed a viscous, mucinous aspirate with sparse cellular content consistent with a GC. In this report, we discuss the most relevant findings observed under optical microscopy, present clinical data specific to this patient, and highlight the differences between ganglion and synovial cysts.

Conclusion: This case highlights the diagnostic value of fine-needle aspiration cytology, especially in settings with limited access to advanced diagnostic techniques.

犬神经节囊肿的细胞学诊断：一例资源有限的病例报告。

背景：神经节囊肿（GCs）在狗和人类中都是罕见的疾病；因此，有助于诊断的描述很少；然而，存在一些差异可以帮助我们区分它们。病例描述：该病例报告了一只年轻的达尔马提亚犬，她在右侧坐骨结节附近出现了一个皮下6厘米的结节，边界不规则，活动轻微，无疼痛。细针抽吸细胞学显示黏稠、黏液性吸出物，细胞含量稀疏，与气相色谱一致。在本报告中，我们讨论了光学显微镜下观察到的最相关的发现，介绍了该患者的临床资料，并强调了神经节囊肿和滑膜囊肿的区别。结论：本病例强调了细针穿刺细胞学的诊断价值，特别是在无法获得先进诊断技术的情况下。
