Abstract:
A six-year-old male French bulldog was presented with the history of a localized nodule over the left lateral abdomen in Multi-Speciality Small Animal Clinics of Department of Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, GADVASU, Ludhiana. The dog showed no other clinical abnormality. Hemato-biochemical parameters were also found to be in normal range. Radiography of thorax and abdomen showed no evidence of metastasis. Fine needle aspiration cytology revealed presence of round cells showing features of mast cell tumor. Histopathological findings were suggestive of mast cell tumor, which was confirmed by using toluidine blue staining. The dog was treated with prednisolone @ 2mg/kg po bid after surgical excision of mass and further tapered accordingly. No remission of clinical signs was observed afterwards.
