Abstract
Mast-cell neoplasms may originate in skin or internal viscera of cats. Mast-cell or basophilic myelocytic leukemia may accompany disseminated mastocytosis. Ages of affected cats range from 4 to 16 years with a median age of 10 years. There is no definite predilection as to sex or breed, Neoplastic mast cells vary in degree of differentiation.
