Wnt/beta-catenin signaling, E-cadherin and p53 reportedly play important roles in the development and/or progression of human gastrointestinal cancer. The present study evaluated the roles of beta-catenin, E-cadherin and p53 in canine gastrointestinal tumors. Endoscopic biopsy or surgically resected samples, a total of 131, including 38 gastric, 13 small intestinal and 80 large intestinal tumors, were obtained from 95 dogs. Those specimens were examined pathologically. Immunohistochemically, nuclear beta-catenin expression was found in 88% (42/48) of polypoid type adenocarcinomas. Most cases of non-polypoid type adenocarcinomas lacked nuclear expression of beta-catenin with the exception of one case (6%, 1/17). Nuclear beta-catenin expression was not observed in signet ring cell carcinomas (0/15), mucinous adenocarcinomas (0/7) and undifferentiated carcinomas (0/4). The findings indicate that nuclear translocation of beta-catenin is closely related to the development of polypoid type adenocarcinomas but not that of non-polypoid type malignant tumors. The immunoreactivity of E-cadherin for tumor cells tended to decline overall in most of cases including benign tumors. Significant immunoreactivity for p53 was not found in 61% of tumors examined (80/131), including malignant tumors (63%, 57/91), while intense p53-immunoreactivity was rarely found in a few cases of malignant tumors (8%, 7/91). We could not conclude clearly significant correlations between histopathological tumor types and immunohistochemical results of E-cadherin or p53. This paper indicates the importance of the nuclear translocation of beta-catenin for the tumorigenesis of canine intestinal polypoid type adenocarcinomas, especially in the colorectum.

A 7-year-old castrated male ferret developed unilateral cervical lymphadenomegaly over a 1-month period. Histological examination revealed proliferation of tumor cells in a diffuse and partially nodular pattern. The tumor cells were predominantly Hodgkin cells and binucleated Reed-Sternberg cells, characterized by abundant, clear, vacuolated cytoplasm, pleomorphic, ovoid nuclei with thick nuclear membranes and distinct nucleoli. Multinucleated cells, resembling lymphocytic and histiocytic (L&H) cells, were also observed. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells expressed Pax-5, BLA-36 and vimentin. A small population of the tumor cells expressed CD20. This case showed proliferation of Hodgkin/Reed-Sternberg cells in conjunction with L&H cells that were histologically analogous to feline Hodgkin’s-like lymphoma. However, Pax-5 and BLA-36 expression along with rare CD20 expression were consistent with classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma in humans.

A large abdominal mass was found in a dog. Histopathologically, the surface of the mass was covered with compressed adrenal gland tissue. The neoplastic cells showed typical features of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST), including Antoni type A and type B pattern, and nuclear palisading. Immunohistochemically, these cells were positive for S100 protein, nerve growth factor receptor, nestin and claudin-1. The dog was euthanized because of the developing multiple metastatic lesions. The metastatic cells showed quite similar histopathological and immunohistochemical features as those in the original tumor. Although MPNST can develop at many body sites, this is the first report of MPNST originating from the adrenal gland in a dog.

The atypical cutaneous tumor of a 9-year-old mixed breed female dog was examined. The tumor was well-demarcated and histologically composed of a trichoblastic area, tricholemmal area and apocrine glandular area. Neoplastic cells in trichoblastic area and tricholemmal area had PAS-positive granules in the cytoplasm and were positive for pan-cytokeratin, cytokeratin 5/6, 14 and 19 and p63. Neoplastic cells in trichoblastic area were also positive for cytokeratin 15 and CD34. Neoplastic cells in apocrine glandular area were positive for pan-cytokeratin and cytokeratin 7, 18 and 19. Myoepithelial cell proliferation with osteocartilaginous metaplasia was observed in this area. Since neoplastic cells showed multiphenotypic differentiation for hair follicles and apocrine glands, the present case was diagnosed as a cutaneous mixed tumor.

An intraocular mass lesion was found in the left eyeball in a spayed female Pembroke Welsh Corgi dog. The surgically resected left eyeball was pathologically examined. Histologically, the mass lesion consisted of proliferation of the atypical cuboidal or columnar epithelial cells, arranging in papillary, tubular or solid form. In addition, some neoplastic cells showed oncocytic change characterized as large oval cells with numerous eosinophilic intracytoplasmic granules. Cytoplasm of the oncocytic cells showed dark blue granules by phosphotungstic acid-hematoxylin stain. Immunohistochemically, the oncocytic cells were intensely positive for cytochrome C. Based on these findings, the ocular mass was diagnosed as iridociliary adenocarcinoma with oncocytic change. The findings indicate that the oncocytic changes of the neoplastic epithelial cells might be caused by mitochondrial accumulation.

A 5-year-old female border collie presented with erythematous skin lesions at the axillae, groin, mucocutaneous junctions, and pinnae. Biopsy revealed lymphocytic interface dermatitis with hydropic degeneration of basal cells and keratinocyte apoptosis. Based on gross and histological features, diagnosis of erythema multiforme was made. The disease was resolved by treatment with azathioprine, prednisolone, and a hypoallergenic diet. Finally, the skin lesion was controlled without drug therapy but recurred easily every time commercial foods except the hypoallergenic diet were used, suggesting that food substances triggered this outbreak.
