Abstract

The article presents a case report of a rare occurrence of the mast cell tumour of the mesentery in a German shepherd female dog. The dog was presented to the Veterinary Hospital of the Veterinary College and Research Institute in India with a history of inappetance, nausea, epistaxis and melena. Cytological smears of the dog revealed high celluliarity with round individual cells arranged in sheets. Spherical to oval cells with anisokaryosis were also noticed in the animal, and confirmed the mass as a mast cell tumour.
