Abstract
Case records of 32 cats with cutaneous mast cell tumors (CMCTs) were r eviewed. Using; the Patnaik system for grading canine mast cell tumors , the relationships between histopathological grade and patient surviv al time and tumor recurrence were examined. Tumor histopathological gr ade had no prognostic significance. One-, two-, and three-year tumor r ecurrence rates following surgical excision were 16%, 19%, and 13%, re spectively incomplete excision was not associated with a higher rate o f tumor recurrence.
