Squamous cell carcinoma of the mammary gland is a rare entity both in veterinary and human medicine. In this latter metaplastic and squamous variants are known. Aim of this study was to ascertain the presence of such entities in canine mammary tumours and the differential diagnosis from epidermal squamous tumours. A panel of antibodies (anti-cytokeratin (CK) 19, -CK 14, -CK 5/6, -Pan-cytokeratin, -vimentin, -S-100) was used on a series of mammary gland and skin tumours. The panel employed proved useful to discriminate primary epidermal squamous tumours from mammary squamous neoplasms. However, the panel does not allow a discrimination between primary mammary and other squamous tumours of glandular origin.

Abstract
Squamous cell carcinoma of the mammary gland is a rare entity both in veterinary and human medicine. In this latter metaplastic and squamous variants are known. Aim of this study was to ascertain the presence of such entities in canine mammary tumours and the differential diagnosis from epidermal squamous tumours. A panel of antibodies (anti-cytokeratin (CK) 19, -CK 14, -CK 5/6, -Pan-cytokeratin, -vimentin, -S-100) was used on a series of mammary gland and skin tumours. The panel employed proved useful to discriminate primary epidermal squamous tumours from mammary squamous neoplasms. However, the panel does not allow a discrimination between primary mammary and other squamous tumours of glandular origin.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
