A mastocytoma in dogs (or mast cell tumor in dogs) is a neoplasm (neoplasia) originating from mast cells in the domestic dog, which occurs mainly in the

type of mast cell disease, is a rare disorder affecting both children and adults caused by the accumulation of functionally defective mast cells (also called
