    Abstract


    Mast cell tumors commonly occur in the skin of dogs. This study provided information on the clinical features, and gross and histological lesions of the canine mast cell tumors so as to serve for diagnosis and treatment. The research investigated 8 dogs from 7 to 11 years old. The dogs were diagnosed with mast cell tumors shoing symptoms such as solitary nodules, swelling, ulcer, and haemorrhage in the skin. The result of examining histopathology showed that mast cell tumor includes two types: cutaneous and subcutaneous mast cell tumors in which subcutaneous mast cell tumor was worse than cutaneous mast cell tumor in prognosis.
