- In row B you can find the assessment of the samples taken by CT-guided biopsy, arranged by biopsy site and in row H the assessment of the corresponding organ samples taken in autopsy. For each sample site the diagnostic quality of the biopsies regarding histiocytic sarcoma (HS) is shown in the first of three fields. The second field informs about the degree of autolysis (1 = slight, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe) of the samples. In the third field, complaint about very small sample size is noted, whenever the case. Information with influence on the cadaveric alteration status is given in the third and fourth column. Body temperature was measured with a temperature probe within the liver after the performance of the first CT scan and left in place during CT-guided biopsy. The last column contains the reliability score of the diagnosis of HS (2 = based on an examination by a veterinarian; 3 = including additional diagnostic methods; 4 = based on the most specific test available)
- Orange colour: suspicion of histiocytic sarcoma, no immunohistochemistry possible because of lack of sufficient tissue; brown colour: diagnosis of histiocytic sarcoma based on histology; green colour: diagnosis of histiocytic sarcoma based on histology and immunohistochemistry. N = No identification of neoplastic cells possible; C = complaint about small size of tissue sample; L = biopsy sample lost during processing
