Computed Tomography Features For Differentiating Mast Cell Tumors And Soft Tissue Sarcomas In Subcutaneous Masses In Dogs, Seri Hong, Daji Noh, Kija Lee, Hojung Choi, Youngwon Lee, Sooyoung Choi

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

This study aimed to investigate the computed tomography (CT) features of mast cell tumors (MCTs) and soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) in subcutaneous masses of dogs and to identify distinguishing characteristics between these two tumor types. This retrospective, multicenter study included 22 dogs with subcutaneous masses diagnosed as MCTs (n = 11) or STSs (n = 11) via fine needle aspiration or excisional biopsy. The CT features were evaluated based on four categories: location, morphological characteristics (including shape, margin, capsulation, size, and long axis to short axis (L/S) ratio of the lesion), internal parenchymal characteristics (including cavitation, vascularization, mineralization, homogeneity and …

A Conjunctival Mast Cell Tumor In Golden Retriever: A Case Report, Orapun Jaturakan

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

A high-grade mast cell tumor of the conjunctiva in the Golden Retriever is a rare condition. Wide excisional conjunctival mass biopsy is suggested, combined with chemotherapy. A 9-year-old neutered female Golden Retriever with a painless conjunctival mass at the right temporal bulbar conjunctiva was presented at the Ophthalmology Clinic of the Small Animal Teaching Hospital, Faculty of Veterinary Sciences, Chulalongkorn University. Complete physical and ophthalmic examinations were performed. The metastasis of the primary conjunctival mass was investigated by radiography of the skull, orbit, thorax, and abdomen, as well as by ultrasonography in the orbit and abdomen. No metastasis was confirmed …
