A cutaneous mast cell tumour associated with Darier's sign in a cat with multiple neoplasms is described. A 14‐year‐old cat with multiple neoplasms, one of which was a mast cell tumour developed marked subcutaneous oedema and erythema following palpation. The phenomenon is similar to Darier's sign described in people with mast cell tumours. The pathology of the Darier's sign is discussed.
