This retrospective case\u2013control study aimed to identify triple\u2010phase computed tomography (CT) features that distinguish MCTs from benign lesions, with an emphasis on tumor size. Twenty\u2010three MCTs (10 large [\u22653\u00a0cm]; 13 small [&lt;3\u00a0cm]) and seven benign lesions were included. Qualitative features and CT attenuation values were compared among three groups by size and type. Large MCTs were primarily characterized by qualitative CT features. Significant differences among the three groups were observed in heterogeneous enhancement patterns, feeding vessels, infiltration, necrosis, and fat stranding. These features were most frequently observed in large MCTs. In contrast, small MCTs lacked these features but showed significantly higher CT attenuation values in the portal venous and equilibrium phases than benign lesions (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u00a0=\u00a00.025 and 0.034, respectively). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis for discriminating small MCTs from benign lesions yielded optimal cutoff values of 68.7 Hounsfield units (HU) for the portal venous phase (area under the curve [AUC]\u00a0=\u00a00.88; sensitivity, 92%; specificity, 71%) and 74.7\u00a0HU for the equilibrium phase (AUC\u00a0=\u00a00.85; sensitivity, 92%; specificity, 57%). In conclusion, despite the limited sample size, these findings suggest that triple\u2010phase CT has clinical utility for differentiating MCTs from benign lesions. Qualitative patterns are particularly informative for large MCTs, whereas CT attenuation values in the portal venous and equilibrium phases may serve as objective adjunct indicators for identifying small MCTs that lack distinct morphological features.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/vru.70256","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,17]],"date-time":"2026-09-17T11:09:12Z","timestamp":1789643352000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Triple\u2010Phase Computed Tomography for Differentiating Canine Cutaneous and Subcutaneous Mast Cell Tumors From Benign Lesions: A Size\u2010Based Evaluation"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"67","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-4195-5484","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Motomu","family":"Morishita","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Veterinary Medical Center School of Veterinary Science Osaka Metropolitan University  Osaka Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-7360-1134","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Takuya","family":"Kusaka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Veterinary Medical Center School of Veterinary Science Osaka Metropolitan University  Osaka Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mayumi","family":"Murata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Veterinary Medical Center School of Veterinary Science Osaka Metropolitan University  Osaka Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7911-913X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Toshiyuki","family":"Tanaka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Veterinary Advanced Diagnosis and Treatment School of Veterinary Science Osaka Metropolitan University  Osaka Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","volume-title":"Withrow and MacEwen's Small Animal Clinical Oncology","author":"Vail D.
