Canine cutaneous histiocytoma: ultrastructural and cytochemical observations
Veterinary Pathology
|January 1, 1976
Abstract:
Five canine cutaneous histiocytomas were studied by electron microscopy and esterase cytochemistry. The tumor cells contained irregular nuclei, characteristic lysosomal granules, and perinuclear microfilaments. The cells showed activity with alpha-naphthyl acetate esterase stains. These characteristics are evidence that this tumor originates from the mononuclear phagocyte system.
