Small animal practice JO - Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract VL - 33 IS - 1 N2 - Although not a substitute for histologic examination, lumps, bumps, and lesions of the skin and subcutis readily lend themselves to cytologic examination via FNB, fine-needle nonaspiration biopsy, imprinting, or scraping of lesions. These techniques are used to obtain cells that can be examined by a clinical pathologist or cytologist to provide a diagnosis, decide a course of therapy, or offer a prognosis. Although histologic and cytologic examinations do not always agree, many times there is excellent correlation between the two disciplines. There are few patients with cutaneous lesions that would not benefit from cytologic examination of their lesion.
