Subcutaneous fibrosarcoma in an aged guinea pig.
A 9-year-old, female guinea pig was diagnosed with a subcutaneous fibrosarcoma overlying the ventral thorax. The mass was invasive within the subcutis without extension into surrounding structures or organ systems. Other findings included cystic ovaries, renal cortical cysts, nodular hyperplasia of the liver, and myocardial fibrosis with pulmonary hypertension.
