Clinical, pathologic, and molecular characterization of a non-metastatic multicentric cutaneous mast cell tumor in a cow.
Veterinary Clinical Pathology 2024 Februrary 29
Cutaneous mast cell tumors are rarely reported in cattle. Although mutations in the c-KIT gene have been shown to play a central role in the oncogenesis of canine mast cell tumors, few data are available in cattle. This report describes the clinical, histologic, immunohistochemical, and genetic features of a multicentric cutaneous mast cell tumor in an adult cow. An 11-year-old Prim'Holstein cow was presented for a 5-month history of multiple skin nodules. Cytologic and histologic analyses of the nodules led to a diagnosis of mast cell tumors. Immunohistochemical analysis for KIT expression showed a moderate to strong signal in neoplastic mast cells with a cytoplasmic and membranous pattern. Sequencing of the c-KIT gene coding sequence revealed no mutation. Despite partial response after corticosteroid treatment, euthanasia was elected. No metastases to the lymph nodes, spleen, and liver were identified at post-mortem and histologic examinations.
