Abstract

Sebaceous carcinoma of the submandibular salivary gland is described in a cat; tumour cells were characterized histologically by moderate amounts of pale eosinophilic or vacuolated cytoplasm. Tumour cells were stained with antibody to cytokeratins ( CKs 5, 6, 8, 17 and 19) and with lectins Con A and wheat germ agglutinin ( WGA); this occurs in many other types of salivary gland tumour and is a feature of normal salivary gland acinar cells.
