Today’s case is a 7 year old female neutered Bernese Mountain Dog with cervical mast cell tumor. What is your top differential diagnosis?

Teaching and learning about veterinary diagnostic imaging.
Other than breed-specific predisposition of the Histiocytic sarcoma in Bernese Mountain Dog, additional reasons for bringing this condition first is that the metastases of MCT usually take place on the GI,spleen and LN?
This is a very common site for pulmonary histiocytic sarcoma, with specific imaging characteristics that make it the first differential diagnosis. Mast cell tumor is uncommon as a lung mass so that is less likely.
I found the same mention in the BSAVA Thanks a lot.
Not exactly same though. Just depiction of HIstiocytic sarcoma in a dog with an example picture.
