Why mass of electrons is excluded from atomic mass?

The mass of electrons is not excluded from atomic mass. The mass number of an isotope of an element excludes electrons because it is the sum of protons and neutrons.From Wikipedia, "The atomic mass (ma) is the mass of a specific isotope, most often expressed in unified atomic mass units.
