Equine mast cell tumors are typically benign solitary growths of the head, neck, trunk, or limbs. When involving the limbs, these masses tend to be adjacent to joints without involving them.

In this report, we describe the diagnosis, clinical features, and management of mast cell tumors in the rear limb of a horse.
