“…1 To date, cutaneous mastocytosis has been described in humans, dogs, cats, cows, and horses. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] In humans, urticaria pigmentosa is the most common presentation of cutaneous mastocytosis and is characterized by numerous macules, papules, or plaques appearing in childhood and resolving by adolescence. Pruritus is variable.…”

“…2 UP has rarely been reported in veterinary medicine, with scattered reports in dogs, cats, horses and cattle. [3][4][5][6][7][8] Reports in cats have been isolated to four breeds: Sphynx, Devon Rex, Himalayan and Siamese. 7 Clinical differential diagnoses for cases of UP include allergic dermatitis, Notoedres cati, Demodex gatoi, dermatophytosis and cutaneous mastocytosis.…”

Case summaryA 14-month-old castrated male domestic shorthair cat presented with an 8 month history of severe pruritus, alopecia, papules and excoriations. Initial evaluation and treatment prior to referral included skin scrape, cytology, two strict food trials, dermatophyte culture, and bacterial culture and sensitivity, as well as antibiotic therapy, empiric treatment for mites, steroids and ciclosporin A (Atopica; Elanco). The cat was referred to the Dermatology and Otology Clinic at the University of Illinois Veterinary Teaching Hospital for further diagnostics and treatment. Skin scrapes were unremarkable. Cytology showed rare bacteria and moderate neutrophils. The cat was given an injection of triamcinolone acetonide, which was ineffective. Oclacitinib (Apoquel; Zoetis) was given for 4 weeks with no improvement. A skin biopsy was performed, and histopathology showed large numbers of well-differentiated monomorphic mast cells with fewer eosinophils that diffusely infiltrated the superficial dermis, supportive of urticaria pigmentosa. Oral dexamethasone and cetirizine hydrochloride were initiated, and the cat responded favorably. At the time of writing, the cat continues to do well on cetirizine hydrochloride with only intermittent tapering courses of dexamethasone.Relevance and novel informationTo the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of urticaria pigmentosa in a domestic shorthair cat. This case also highlights the importance of biopsy after a thorough, systematic work-up in a cat with severe, intractable pruritus to reveal an uncommon disease pattern, as well as the efficacy of oral dexamethasone and cetirizine hydrochloride as a potential management option.

“…Diese bei Neonaten auftretende Form der equinen Mastozytose ist sehr selten und durch multiple bis disseminierte, noduläre Umfangsvermehrungen gekennzeichnet [9]. Eine Spontanremission ist beschrieben, aber fraglich, da wenige Fälle bekannt sind und betroffene Fohlen frühzeitig euthanasiert wurden [9,16]. Bei dieser Form ist eine Ausbreitung der Mastzellen in Lymphknoten und in das Rückenmark beschrieben [9].…”

“…Die Prognose der nodulären, kutanen Mastozytose nach chirurgischer Exzision ist als gut zu bewerten, Rezidive sind als sehr selten beschrieben [1,4]. Die Prognose der kongenitalen, equinen Mastozytose ist aufgrund der Masse der betroffenen Körperoberfläche als vorsichtig zu beschreiben [16].…”
