Introduction: The cornerstone for the prognosis of canine cutaneous mast cell tumor has been the histological grade. A critical appraisal of the available literature can help pathologists and clinicians better understand the values and limitations of histological grading. The first consensus document of the OPWG on the histological grading of cutaneous mast cell tumors was divulgated in 2013. S...
متن کاملMicrovessel density is as a prognostic factor in canine cutaneous mast cell tumors
Background Mast cell tumors represent almost 25% of canine skin neoplasms. These tumors are classified in three grades of differentiation, based on histological features. However, this grading system is a method based on subjective parameters, which generate intraand interobserver variations. The microcirculation is an important feature to the primary tumor expansion, dissemination and metastas...
