Pathologist's Report
INTERPRETATION:
Mast cell tumor

COMMENTS:
Canine mast cell tumors (MCT) exhibit a wide range of biologic behavior. There is no overt cytologic atypia observed in this neoplastic mast cell population, which suggests a low-grade tumor, as based on a 2016 publication establishing cytologic criteria and a tumor grading scheme for canine cutaneous MCT. This cytologic grading scheme does not replace the histologic grading schemes, which best assess tissue architecture, mitotic count, and remain part of the gold standard for predicting canine cutaneous MCT behavior.
