Mast cell tumors are the most frequent round cell tumors in dogs but can also be observed in atypical anal sac adenocarcinomas, lymphomas, melanomas, plasmacytomas, transmissible venereal tumors, histiocytomas, primitive neuroectodermal tumor, Merkel cell carcinomas and hepatic neuroendocrine tumors.
Treatment is usually curative with wide-margin surgical excision but due to the malignant nature of these tumors, recurrence should be considered and regular monitoring is recommended. 1  Gianella P et al (2012) Primary cutaneous undifferentiated round cell tumor with concurrent polymyositis in a dog.
