Hepatoid gland tumors in dogs usually occur in the perianal region, but arise occasionally from other areas such as the tail, back, and thigh. This report describes two cases of ectopic hepatoid gland adenomas in dogs. The tumors have been observed in the lumbar area of the back and in the axillary region, respectively. The cytological and histopathological features were consistent with hepatoid gland adenoma. Although ectopic hepatoid gland tumors have been described previously in literatures, this is the first report of ectopic hepatoid gland adenoma cases in dogs in South Korea.

A mixed case of multiple sebaceous gland adenoma and perianal gland adenoma was found in a 11-year-old male Shih Tzu dog. Grossly, many masses less than 1 cm in diameter of back skin and single red-brown mass about 0.5 cm in diameter of inner ear were noted. In addition one of light-pink mass 5 cm in diameter was presented in the anus. All of the masses were well demarcated and dome-shaped or papillated nodules. Histologically, the mass from back and ear were composed with multiple irregular shaped or sized lobules of sebaceous glands. Masses were containing mostly mature sebaceous cells and multifocal cystic degeneration with acellular and bright eosinophilic materials. And the mass from peri-anal area was well-circumscribed and composed of broad, anastomosing trabeculae of well-differentiated hepatoid cells. There were very low mitotic figures in all masses. Based on these results, this case was diagnosed as the multiple sebaceous gland adenoma and perianal gland adenoma.

A five-year-old female Yorkshire Terrier dog presented with a perianal mass. Fine needle aspiration revealed that the mass comprised two different types of cells: hepatoid epithelial cells and melanin-containing melanocytes. Histopathological examination confirmed perianal gland adenoma with malignant melanoma. Evidence of metastasis was found on thoracic radiography with soft-tissue densities observed within the pulmonary parenchyma. The dog survived for three months after diagnosis of malignant melanoma. This report describes the clinical findings, diagnostics used, cytological and histopathological findings, and the potential prognosis for a dog diagnosed with malignant anal sac melanoma.

This review comprehensively examines the diverse spectrum of gastric cancers, focusing on unusual or uncommon histology that presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. While the predominant form, tubular adenocarcinoma, is well-characterized, this review focuses on lesser-known variants, including papillary adenocarcinoma, micropapillary carcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), hepatoid adenocarcinoma, gastric choriocarcinoma, gastric carcinoma with lymphoid stroma, carcinosarcoma, gastroblastoma, parietal cell carcinoma, oncocytic adenocarcinoma, Paneth cell carcinoma, gastric adenocarcinoma of the fundic gland type, undifferentiated carcinoma, and extremely well-differentiated adenocarcinoma. Although these diseases have different nomenclatures characterized by distinct histopathological features, these phenotypes often overlap, making it difficult to draw clear boundaries. Furthermore, the number of cases was limited, and the unique histopathological nature and potential pathogenic mechanisms were not well defined. This review highlights the importance of understanding these rare variants for accurate diagnosis, effective treatment planning, and improving patient outcomes. This review emphasizes the need for ongoing research and case studies to enhance our knowledge of these uncommon forms of gastric cancer, which will ultimately contribute to more effective treatments and better prognostic assessments. This review aimed to broaden the pathological narrative by acknowledging and addressing the intricacies of all cancer types, regardless of their rarity, to advance patient care and improve prognosis.

12.6살 된 수컷 Shitzu의 항문주위에 형성된 결절 조직의 생검을 실시하였다. 육안적 소견상 결절은 갈색과 검은색을 나타냈으며 절단면은 흰색의 균질한 물질로 가득 차 있었으며 일부에서는 괴사소견을 관찰 할 수 있었다. 광학적 현미경 상에서 종양세포들은 농축된 핵을 가지고 있으며 일부에서는 원시 종양세포들이 인접 조직을 침습하고 있는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 또한 면역조직 화학적 염색상에서 농축된 종양세포, 주변조직에 침습한 종양세포와 기저세포는 EGFR, HER-2/neu, MMP-9, PKC ${\alpha}$ 등에 양성반응이 나타난 것을 관찰되었다. 일반적으로 개에서의 양성 항문주위선종은 다른 종양보다 4.5배 이상 발생된다는 보고(특히 수캐)가 있으나 조직병리학적 소견과 면역화학적 염색소견상 전형적인 항문주위선 샘암종은 보기 드물게 나타나므로 향후의 종양진단과 종양연구에 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.
