Overview
Common risk factors in the development of mast cell tumor are age and mutation of C-kit receptor.
Risk Factors

- Infants and children are at high risk to develop mast cell tumor.
- C-kit receptor mutation
- C-kit receptor is a surface protein that binds to stem cell factor which is a chemical entity that fosters the growth of certain types of cells.
