Metastatic disease in a dog with a well-differentiated perianal gland tumor.

Fine-needle aspirates from a perianal mass on an 8-year-old, intact male, Miniature Poodle presenting for tenesmus showed a uniform population of well-differentiated hepatoid cells with no notable criteria of malignancy. The cytologic diagnosis was a perianal gland tumor, with adenoma likely given the cytomorphology. The abdominal ultrasound revealed multiple, markedly enlarged, intra-abdominal lymph nodes.
