Clinical and pathological aspects in 2 cases of canine mastocytoma

TLDR
Two patients brought in to the Emergency Clinic for consultation were diagnosed with canine mastocytoma, which started as a single nodule and combined therapy of vinblastine and prednisolon has proven poor efficiency.
Abstract
Mast cells are well known for their neoplastic transformation in solitary and multiple cutaneous mast cell tumours, as well as visceral and systemic mastocytosis. In this paper we are presenting 2 cases brought in our Emergency Clinic for consultation, which were diagnosed with canine mastocytoma. In both of the patients, the tumor started as a single nodule. They were diagnosed with grade 3 mastocytoma using cytological and histopathological exam. Combined therapy of vinblastine and prednisolon has proven poor efficiency. Survival times, after the diagnosis, were 35 days (patient 1) and 22 days respectively (patient 2).
