Mast Cell Tumor French Bulldog. Last week we took in a dog with a mast cell tumor on his penis. He said than can be a mast cell tummor but his only six month.
Mast cell tumours can vary greatly in their appearance from case to case although usually one tumour is found on its own initially rather than them proliferating in clusters. They are found throughout the body but a large portion of them are within the skin. Mast cell cancer is very common in brachycephalic dogs like Frenchies Boston Terriers Pugs and especially Boxers.
They might present as itchy lesion and can remain small and innocent looking for months or longer.
6 months ago he had a tumor in his leg that decreases in volume when he gets steroids but when the vet removed it and it was sent to the lab we got the results that it was a mast cell tumor. The results of this study indicated an increased risk of MCT development in five breeds.
