Cytogenetic analyses of four solid tumours in dogs.
Four solid tumours (one haemangiopericytoma, one haemangioendothelioma, one spindle-cell sarcoma and one mammary carcinoma) in dogs were analysed cytogenetically. In the haemangiopericytoma, an additional small chromosomal segment was present. Very complex changes including centric fusions and symmetric meta-centrics 1, 6, 10 and 12 were conspicuous in the highly unbalanced karyotype of the haemangioendothelioma. Complex changes, particularly many centric fusions and a tandem translocation 4/14, were features of the spindle-cell sarcoma. One centric fusion and a symmetric metacentric 13 were present in the mammary carcinoma.
