Malignant fibrous histiocytoma in a cat.
A large proliferative soft tissue mass found on the forelimb of an adult cat was identified as a malignant fibrous histiocytoma through cytologic and histologic examinations. This is a rare tumor of mesenchymal cell origin, which has been previously reported in cats, dogs, horses, and human beings. In this cat metastasis to the local lymph node was found.
