Abstract:
A case of spontaneous occurrence of systemic mast cell disease in a non-treated laboratory-reared gerbil is reported. This case corresponds to the form of systemic mastocytosis with bone marrow and visceral involvement associated with skin disease and displays clinically aggressive behaviour. The histopathological, histochemical and ultrastructural features are described.
