Abstract |
A 7-years-old spayed,
female Siberian Husky dog
was diagnosed with malignant poorly differentiated intestinal mast cell
tumour. The dog had previous history of colonic perforation which might
have been associated with this malignant disease. The dog was presented
with ascites which is uncommon sign of this disease.
The disease was tentatively diagnosed by cytologic examination of the
abdominal fluid and later confirmed histologically and by immunostaining.
