2. Mast cell
Mast cell or mastocyte is a normal component of connective
tissue
Mast cell are quite pleomorphic & nucleus are round or
ovoid & basophilic granules
Cytoplasmic basophilic granules physiological active & two
components secretes
1. Histamine
2. Heparin
4. Mastocytoma/Mastoma in Dog
Mastocytoma is benign tumor of tissue mast cells
German “mast” means fattend or stuffed
“cyte” comes from Greek “kytos” means hollow cell
Etiology
Genetic predispose
golden/red coat color
Chronic immune over-stimulation that occurs in dogs with
allergies or other inflammatory conditions.
There may be environmental factors, viruses or other
undetermined contributors.
Middle age to older dogs are more likely to develop MCT's
5. Incidence

Vascular lesion like hyalinization & fibrinoid degeneration
of small arterioles
In 10% cases focal accumulation of lymphocyte & plasma
cells
Hematology
Increase serum gamma globulin
Rarely circulating mast cells
17. Growth & metastasis
Least potentially malignant
Correlation between degree of maturity of tumor &
eventual dissemination of neoplastic mast cells
Internal dissemination of malignant tumor in following
organs regional lymph nodes, spleen, liver, kidneys,
lungs & heart
Prognosis
It is estimated that 50% of surgically removed mast cell
tumors will re-grow in the same area.
Prognosis is variable and depends on many factors
including tumor location, histological grade and clinical
stage
18. Jejunum of dog. Tumor cells are diffusely invading from the mucosal cell
layer to the serosa. Mucosal ulceration is visible with tumor cell
infiltration. HE.
19. Stomach of dog Slight pleomorphic tumor cells include round to ovoid
nuclei with some pleomorphism. Numerous mitotic figures are visible
(arrows). HE.
20. Monotonous population of mast cells with centrally located hyperchromatic
nuclei and few discernable cytoplasmic granules. (HE, 10X)
21. Boxer:-Mast cell tumor, well differentiated, Wright-Leishman stain. Well
differentiated mast cells have numerous, purple, cytoplasmic granules that
partially obscure nuclear morphology.
22. Cutaneous mast cell tumor (well differentiated), dog, Wright-Leishman
stain. The mast cells have numerous purple granules that partially
obscure nuclear morphology
23. Well differentiated mast cells, cutaneous neoplasm, dog, Wright-Leishman
stain. The neoplastic cells are of relatively uniform size and appearance with
numerous fine purple granules.
24. Well differentiated cutaneous mast cell tumor, dog, hematoxylin & eosin
stain. The mast cells have a relatively uniform appearance with heavy
cytoplasmic granulation.
26. Well differentiated cutaneous mast cell tumor, dog, AgNOR stain. The mast
cells have 1-2 AgNORs per cell with an overall score of 1.8. The potential
for metastasis is low.
27. Intermediate differentiation, cutaneous mast cell tumor, dog, AgNOR stain.
The mast cells have 1-7 AgNORs per cell with an overall score of 3.19. The
potential for metastasis is very high.
28. Intermediate differentiation of mast cells, cutaneous neoplasm, dog,
Wright-Leishman stain. The mast cells are large with pleomorphic
cytoplasmic granulation that varies in size and abundance.
29. Poorly differentiated mast cells, cutaneous neoplasm, dog, Wright-
Leishman stain. The mast cell (left) is large and has sparse cytoplasmic
granulation.
30. Boxer:-Mast cell tumor, poorly differentiated, Wright-Leishman stain.
The cytoplasm contains fine but sparse purple granules. A few eosinophils
also are present.
33. Mastocytoma in cat
Two forms:-
1. Cutaneous/skin MCT
2. Histiocytic/visceral MCT
Incidence
Second most common skin tumor (20% of all skin tumors)
Age:- 10 years
Breed:- Siamese cats
Sex:- Male>Female
Sites & gross morphology
Head & neck region more common
Two type cutaneous growths:-
1. Firm
2. Diffuse
34. Multiple mast cell tumors in
the skin of a cat with the
visceral form of mast cell
tumor disease
Multiple mast cell tumors all
over their body
35. Histologic features
Same to dog
Some confusion between mastocytoma & eosinophilic
granuloma complex
Skin & oral cavity diffuse infiltration of eosinophiles & some
extent mast cells in some lesions is called as eosinophilic
granuloma complex
Growth & metastasis
Potentially malignant than dog
50% primary cutaneous mastocytoma involvement of
regional lymph node & liver, spleen & other visceral organs
36. Haired skin of cat:- Endocytosis of erythrocytes
by neoplastic mast cells
37. Lymph node, cat, Wright-Leishman stain. Metastatic mast cells exhibit
anisocytosis and anisokaryosis with a variable degree of fine
metachromatic granulation.

Diagnosis based on presence of mast cell in smear from
blood & bone marrow
Mast cell 20u in diameter & round, centrally or
eccentrically placed nucleus & cytoplasm packed with
small, uniform, purple granules
