Abstract
Mastocytomas are a type of cancer that mainly affects the skin in dogs and usually manifests between 8 and 10 years of age. The objective of this article was to determine the clinical characteristics and the evolution of a mastocytoma in the right hind limb of a mixed breed dog, following the methodology proposed by Martin et al. for this type of case. The macroscopic evidence, together with the symptoms presented by the animal, presumes a possible ad-vanced mastocytoma with a generalized depressive picture. The dog could not undergo antemortem and postmortem biopsy, due to the lack of financial re-sources of the animal’s owners and the euthanasia caused by the owners, due to the suffering suffered by the dog.
