Primary intraosseous fibrosarcoma in a cat.
A primary intraosseous fibrosarcoma was diagnosed in a 1.5-year-old cat. Clinical signs included nonweight-bearing lameness of the right forelimb and signs of pain on palpation of the right elbow. Radiography of the right elbow revealed a well-circumscribed osteolytic lesion of the olecranon. The right fore-limb was amputated, and histologic examination revealed tumor invasion into local veins and metastasis to the axillary lymph nodes. The cat had no signs of tumor redevelopment or pulmonary metastatic disease one year after amputation.
