Histiocytic sarcoma (also known as malignant histiocytosis) is a neoplastic disorder arising from cells of the histiocytic lineage (macrophages and dendritic cells). 1–8 The disease is characterized by infiltration of many organs including the
Histiocytic sarcoma is a round-cell neoplasm associated with a poor prognosis in dogs. Advances in veterinary pathology and immunohistochemical techniques have enabled identification of the putative cell of origin and have resulted in the
Introduction Histiocytic sarcoma (HS) is a cancer of histiocytes (tissue cells), that is, dendritic cells or macrophages. As sentinels and scavengers of the innate immune system, these cells normally traffic through most body tissues
) . Sections revealed mild to severe histiocytic inflammation containing cytoplasmic and extracellular acid-fast positive bacilli within multiple organs, including the kidney (n = 10); spinal cord (7); meninges (meninx primitive; 6); oral mucosa and submucosa
Histiocytic sarcomas of dogs are tumors originating from histiocytic cell lineages, including dendritic cells and macrophages. 1,2 Histiocytic sarcomas arise from interstitial dendritic cells and are subdivided into 2 categories: localized and
copy number aberrations (ie, gene dosage) in genomic DNA isolated from malignant cells. 13–22 Several consistent DNA copy number aberrations have been identified in samples of lymphomas, osteosarcomas, and histiocytic sarcomas of dogs. Regions of the
that for dogs with meningioma that do not receive aggressive treatment ranges from 2 to 2.5 months. 6,7 Intracranial histiocytic sarcoma is also an extra-axial tumor and has MRI characteristics that are similar to those of meningioma. 3,8 However
