  • Title: Systemic mastocytosis in a goat.
    Author: Khan KN, Sagartz JE, Koenig G, Tanaka K.
    Journal: Vet Pathol; 1995 Nov; 32(6):719-21. PubMed ID: 8592810.
    Abstract:
    Systemic mastocytosis was diagnosed in a 4-year-old, female Nubian goat. Clinically, the animal was depressed and had severe macrocytic hypochromic anemia and leukopenia. Postmortem examination revealed neoplastic mast cells invading the heart, lung, liver, spleen, lymph nodes, and bone marrow. Eosinophils were frequently admixed with infiltrating mast cells in all organs. Using routine light microscopy, histochemistry, and transmission electron microscopy, metachromatic and periodic acid-Schiff-positive granules were identified within the cytoplasm of neoplastic mast cells. Erythrophagocytosis was observed in some neoplastic cells, although its contribution to the anemia was not clear. This report represents the first description of mast cell neoplasia in the goat.
