A total of 40 cases of mastocytomas were found (4.5%) in 881 neoplasms. The classification of the mastocytomas based on the histologic grade indicated that el 42.5% were of grade I (well differentiated), 47.5% of grade II (moderately differentiated) and 10% of grade III (poorly differentiated). Moreover, 63.9% (23/36) cases were found in the Boxer breed.
