Abstract

One of the techniques for cancer research is cytological evaluation, which is well established in veterinary medicine, but hardly used in small rodents. Neoplasms are uncommon in guinea pigs and the studies described in the literature include different affected organs such as skin and subcutaneous tissue, reproductive and respiratory tract, hematopoietic and endocrine system and mammary gland. The aim of this article was to describe the main cytological findings of a mammary gland neoplasm in a male guinea pig.
