| Description |
The paper describes the incidence and histochemistry of pituitary cyst in a dog. A nine months old Bull Mastiff male dog was presented for necropsy. On examination of cranial cavity and brain, a thin membranous fluid filled cyst of 2 mm was found attached with the pituitary gland suprasellar region. Cyst was thin walled with fibrous tissue encircling colloid content of homogenous nature. On histochemistry by Alcian blue-PAS staining, the colloid showed positive for acid mucin. Acid mucin (polysalic acid) derived from embryogenesis constitutes colloidal protein of the pituitary cyst.
