Abstract
An eight years old female Labrador dog was presented with a history of diffuse
swelling in the submandibular region. The mass was firm with no pain on
palpation. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) revealed spindle shaped to
pleomorphic neoplastic cells with brown to black pigments. The mass was then
surgically excised. Histopathology section revealed cells with melanin pigment
with round to oval nuclei. Immunohistochemical study showed positive expression
for vimentin, S100 and Melan A and no expression for cytokeratin. Based on
above findings the mass was confirmed as melanoma.
