Abstract
A 13 year-old bitch was brought for post-mortem
examination with the history of tumour recurrence
and seriously ill. Grossly, an ulcerated
mass on the right carpal joint and erythematous
nodules were seen around the primary mass.
Subcutaneous nodules spread up to the right
prescapular region. The cytological examination
revealed discrete cells of uniform size containing
fine to large cytoplasmic granules. Histologically,
the neoplastic cells were arranged in closely
packed sheets and contained metachromatic
granules by toluidine blue staining. Based on
the above findings it was diagnosed as mast cell
tumour.
