While frozen section nodal histopathology is commonly used in humans, its applicability to veterinary settings is poorly characterised. The goal of this study was to determine the diagnostic performance of frozen section (FS) histopathology for diagnosing metastatic MCT, as compared to a formalin\u2010fixed histopathologic gold standard. Performances of imprint cytology (IC) and fine needle aspirates (FNA) were also evaluated. Forty\u2010one lymph nodes from 20 dogs with MCT were collected and stained with haematoxylin and eosin (HE) and Giemsa (formalin\u2010fixed and frozen tissues), and Wright Giemsa and toluidine blue (IC and FNA). Nineteen out of 20 primary tumours were low grade. Frozen HE sections had poor agreement as compared to formalin\u2010fixed HE histopathology (\n                    <jats:italic>\u03ba<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.15); however, diagnostic performance increased to a good level of agreement when interpretation was combined with Giemsa (\n                    <jats:italic>\u03ba<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.46). FNA and IC using Wright Giemsa had agreement comparable to combined frozen section histopathology (\n                    <jats:italic>\u03ba<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.51 and 0.43, respectively). Combined frozen sections had a sensitivity of 65% and specificity of 93%, which was the same as FNA. Challenges encountered in morphologic interpretation of frozen sections included inadequate sectioning quality, architectural disruption, ruptured cells, and background metachromatic staining. These data provide support for FS histopathology as a feasible strategy for intra\u2010operative detection of metastatic MCT, with diagnostic agreement similar to conventional cytology. Performance of FS histopathology is conditional upon a metachromatic stain evaluated in parallel with HE.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/vco.70023","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,2]],"date-time":"2025-10-02T08:30:16Z","timestamp":1759393816000},"page":"29-40","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Performance of Frozen Section Histopathology, Imprint Cytology and Fine\u2010Needle Aspirates for Detecting Canine Metastatic Mast Cell Tumour"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4174-2321","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alejandro","family":"Alvarez\u2010Sanchez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Boundary Bay Veterinary Specialty Hospital  Surrey British Columbia Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katy L.","family":"Townsend","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine  Corvallis Oregon USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elena","family":"Gorman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Sciences Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine, Oregon State University  Corvallis Oregon USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Milan","family":"Milovancev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine  Corvallis Oregon USA"},{"name":"Boundary Bay Veterinary Specialty Hospital  Bellingham Washington USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Duncan S.","family":"Russell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Sciences Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine, Oregon State University  Corvallis Oregon USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-1-4377-2362-5.00020-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcpa.2014.07.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/vr.158.9.287"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1476-5829.2009.00185.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.246.7.765"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/vco.12012"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/vco.12042"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/vco.12425"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5326\/JAAHA-MS-5997"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/vsu.13929"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/vco.12906"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/vcp.12636"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/vco.12256"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.2001.218.1424"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/03009858221088780"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1532-950X.1993.tb00394.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.surge.2017.11.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.6061\/clinics\/2018\/e363"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/BCTT.S130987"},{"issue":"7","key":"e_1_2_9_21_1","article-title":"Impact of Histological Type and Grade on the Diagnostic Accuracy of Intraoperative Frozen Section for Detecting Breast Cancer Metastasis to Axillary Sentinel Lymph Nodes","volume":"13","author":"Hashmi A.
