Abstract A senescent neutered male dog was rushed for health check and diagnostic work-up in Med-Vet Emergency care on March 9, 2021, for a profusely bleeding cutaneous scrotal mass. The blood biochemical parameters were within normal limits. The patient was treated with antibiotics and herbal haemostat. The stable patient was brought to the home clinic, Milford Veterinary Clinic for further treatment. Physical examination pointed to normalcy of the vital body functions. Complete surgical excision of the scrotal mass was done on March 15, 2021. Histopathology revealed high grade mast cell tumor. Antibiotic and pain medications were given and take home medicines were dispensed with advisory. The patient’s overall clinical condition has improved. How-ever, prognosis is guarded in view of the high probability, unidentified metastatic malignancy in the thoracic cavity radiographs.
