Figure 31.30 A 12-year-old domestic longhair presented for multiple recurring mast cell tumors on the left rear limb. On the two
radiographic projections of the abdomen, the lateral image (a) shows increased soft tissue opacity (arrows) within the subcutaneous
tissue ventral to the caudal body wall. On the ventrodorsal image (b), the increased soft tissue opacity is along the right caudal lateral
body wall (arrows). Degenerative changes are noted in both coxofemoral joints, worse on the right side. These hypoechoic nodular
structures representing abnormal lymph nodes (c,d) were aspirated and diffuse mast cell tumors were identified.
