CANINE AND FELINE LIVER CYTOLOGY Specialist reference with practical guidance on liver pathology in a clinical and anatomical context Canine and Feline Liver Cytology is a practical and highly illustrated manual with detailed descriptions of cytological features of hepatic diseases and numerous high-quality illustrations to aid in reader comprehension. The primary aim of the text is to describe the correlation of cytological findings with pathological processes in order to provide useful information to clinicians in management of hepatic diseases. Canine and Feline Liver Cytology includes information on: * General bases for interpretation of hepatic cytology, covering limits of cytology, value of cytology for a definitive diagnosis, and relationship with clinical data * A specific reversible injury to hepatocytes, covering hepatocellular swelling, steroid induced hepatopathy, hepatocellular steatosis, and feathery degeneration * Irreversible injury to hepatocytes, covering necrosis and apoptosis, and inflammation, covering neutrophilic, eosinophilic, macrophagic, and lymphoplasmacytic inflammation * Intra and extracytoplasmic pathologic accumulation, covering lipofuscin, copper, iron, eosinophilic granules, protein droplet, bile, and amyloid * Chronic hepatic diseases, with focus on cytological features of fibrosis * Diseases of biliary tract and gallbladder * Neoplastic diseases, covering epithelial, mesenchymal and round cell tumors Canine and Feline Liver Cytology enables readers to interpret all the cytopathological changes in liver pathology and the relationship with clinical primary and secondary causes, eventually with histopathological diagnosis, making it a highly valuable resource for veterinary practitioners and students.

Carlo Masserdotti graduated in Veterinary Medicine in 1990 from the University of Milan. From 1993, his scientific interest was mainly focused on clinical pathology, particularly diagnostic cytopathology, and he attended specialist courses and institutions in Italy and abroad. He is the author of scientific papers concerning cytopathology and has presented lectures at national and international meetings.
From 1998 he was a teacher and lecturer on the cytology course organized by SCIVAC (Italian Companion Animal Veterinary Association). From 2001 to 2004 he was President of SICIV (Italian Society of Veterinary Cytology). From 2003 to 2006 he was Vice‐president of the European Society of Veterinary Clinical Pathology.
In 2005 he received recognition as a Diplomate of the European College of Veterinary Clinical Pathology. In 2008 he achieved postgraduate specialization in clinical biochemistry, at the University of Brescia.
Currently he is a consultant in anatomic and clinical pathology at IDEXX Laboratories. His research is mainly focused on cytological features of spontaneous tumors and inflammatory diseases of companion animals, mainly in hepatic cytology and histopathology.
He enjoys triathlons and the history, art, and architecture of Brescia, his city; he also loves whales as the greatest expression of grace.
Veterinary medicine has progressed dramatically over the recent past. Areas of specialization have become more sophisticated and the relevant information complex. Specialization needs knowledge that is focused on a well‐defined field to facilitate, through in‐depth study, the acquisition of new data. Clearly, this new book by Dr Masserdotti offers a welcome, focused evaluation of the cytological features of the canine and feline liver in health and disease. This work will be a welcome addition to the library and a useful aid for clinical pathologists, clinicians with an interest in cytology, and anatomic pathologists seeking appropriate correlations between cytology and biopsy results.
Diseases of the liver in the cat and the dog span a wide range of possibilities and accurate interpretation of cytological features and correlation with new knowledge of the underlying mechanisms that lead to cytological changes are essential for new understanding to develop. In clinical practice, cytology is a first‐line assessment, providing a relatively less expensive or less invasive early look at changes in the liver. Cytology is widely used to establish the presence of liver disease and to determine its nature and often its etiology. Functional tests of the liver can be less informative than desired. In addition, many hepatic functions are secondarily altered, because either hepatic blood flow is impaired or the liver reacts nonspecifically to primary changes in other organ systems. Thus, liver cytology is an essential element in the diagnosis of liver disease. Elimination of the prevailing confusion in nomenclature by consistent use of the WSAVA standard diagnostic terminology, as followed in this book, will assist in reaching reasonable consensus and better communication between clinicians, clinical pathologists, and anatomic pathologists.
This book clearly illustrates the circumstances in which hepatic cytology is sufficient to obtain a diagnosis and those where cytology is the gateway to additional evaluation, whether that involves imaging, additional clinical testing or histopathological evaluation. The features of a broad variety of hepatic alterations are described in focused detail to aid the investigator in the assessment of known liver diseases and the discovery of new disease processes.
This new text will continue the progress of veterinary medicine to serve the management of the individual patient and to expand and enhance our understanding of diseases of the canine and feline liver.

Liver cytology is one of the murkiest, most complex, controversial, and difficult topics to investigate that I have ever faced in my entire career as a clinical pathologist.
It is one of the most snubbed topics by anatomical pathologists who tend to boast about their histopathological knowledge, which is considered the only source of information concerning liver disease.
It is one of the most frustrating topics – especially for the novice – to approach when attempting to provide useful data for diagnosis.
Despite some almost insurmountable limitations, over the last 30 years I have come to believe that, despite being an incomplete and often inconclusive diagnostic method, liver cytology has excellent potential to complement and complete the histological diagnosis, especially considering its speed of execution and low costs. In some cases, the latter may even be rendered unnecessary, which benefits the patient.
I thought it might be useful to share my 30‐year experience in the management of those liver diseases where cytological evaluation has proved to be an excellent – sometimes conclusive – diagnostic aid, describing, listing, and discussing the characteristics of all those conditions for which histopathological investigation was necessary.
I may be labeled irreverent but I believe that most of what has been written about veterinary cytopathology is confusing, superficial, and sometimes misleading – possibly even incorrect. Among such misconceptions and inaccuracies are historically accepted arguments, such as the so‐called “vacuolar liver disease,” one of the definitions that have been most abused, often with minimal (if not zero) tangible diagnostic gain, or the claim to apply classic diagnostic criteria – such as anisocytosis or anisokaryosis – to the recognition of hepatocarcinoma. In contrast, in terms of diagnosis of the latter, there is ample evidence of dependence on other morphological criteria.
Before beginning to write this book, I made a promise to myself: “Avoid, as much as possible, any type of psychological subjugation to the data already published and to general beliefs on the subject.” The goal was to put across my point of view in the best way possible, at the risk of being considered extreme, and to try to use simple and clear language for the benefit of those who read this book and for those who, in turn, choose the liver as their field of study and research.
I somewhat held back on this revolutionary attitude when I realized that in order to speak in an organic and orderly manner about the liver, I had to follow this consolidated and shared pattern. Therefore, I described the various aspects of liver disease in the same way as the subdivision provided by the reference text – WSAVA Standards for Clinical and Histological Diagnosis of Canine and Feline Liver Disease – which was drawn up by a group of world experts on liver disease, known as the WSAVA Liver Standardization Group.
Obviously, I have appropriately modulated the subdivision of the arguments on the basis of the purely cytological focus of this book. Because of their purely architectural nature, some chapters that are of broad scope and fundamental importance within histopathology, such as vascular disorders, have been excluded, as they are not subject to cytological investigation.
Aware of a certain tendency towards logorrhea, confusion, and the accumulation of data without the order and linearity necessary to be fully understood, I thought of dividing each chapter into different sections: an introduction, a merely descriptive section of the salient cytological aspects of a certain pathological process; a discussion, where I try to put the ideas in order and compare the cytological data with the knowledge already acquired and published; and useful considerations, which are to be used in the report delivered to the clinician.
I truly hope to have created something useful for those who will read my projections.
Perhaps I have written too much and captured too little of what deserves to be dealt with in the context of pathological alterations of cytological samples of the liver. I have certainly repeated myself, possibly because I care greatly about certain concepts, or because I consider some milestone concepts not exactly solid. Many of the concepts I have expressed may be contradictory or controversial, but the liver is as simple in its repetitive structure as it is complex in its morphological manifestations, as well as in the interpretations based on the alterations of its cells. The liver is a questionable topic, therefore I have decided to paraphrase Walt Whitman and conclude with a laconic:
Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself.
I am large, I contain multitudes
(Song of Myself, Walt Whitman).

I would like to acknowledge the people who have helped me understand, write, and correct everything you will find on these pages. Anything that can improve the knowledge of liver cytology of those who read this book is due to them, while any inaccuracy or error is solely and entirely my responsibility.
My heartfelt thanks go to John Cullen. He has been much more than a great teacher, a point of reference, and an inexhaustible source of knowledge. His support in the revision of this book was invaluable. He has become a true friend, and not just a colleague. I have tried to retain everything he has taught me over the years, and I apologize to him if I have not been able to take my knowledge to the level of his teachings.
I would also like to thank Cinzia Mastrorilli for persuading me to consider different points of view, but also for identifying and correcting several inaccuracies I would have missed. She never failed to provide a touch of irony, comprehensive competence, and unparalleled attention.
Lorenzo Ressel is a truly special friend. The ease with which we understand each other is a blessing. His competence and points of view often pushed me to review, deepen, and improve almost every chapter he delved into.
Alessandra Tosini is not only the colleague we would all love to have, but also the one I – undeservedly – am fortunate to have. She was always there, with her patience and tolerance, showing me how to circumvent and solve small (and big) obstacles. Her support was always precious.
A special thank you to Eleonora Piseddu, Ilaria Cerchiaro and to Marcello Garatti for the never‐ending discussions and for all they taught me.
Without the help of Cristina Pana, retrieving cytological cases for pictures and comparisons, this entire work would not have been possible: a special thank you for her invaluable support.
