title: Cytogenetic studies in a canine malignant melanoma.
abstract: In a 13-year-old, male rough-haired Dachshund with a malignant melanoma, cytogenetic evaluation of tumour cells showed hyperdiploidy (79 to 81 chromosomes) in 50 per cent of the metaphases. Several bi-armed chromosomes (centric fusions, one isochromosome and two unidentified markers) were observed.
