Primary right atrium haemangiosarcoma in a cat.
Primary cardiac neoplasms are rare in animals. Hemangiosarcoma is the most common primary cardiac tumour in the dog, but has not been reported in the cat. We describe the clinical signs, the gross examination, and the morphological and immunohistochemical features of a haemangiosarcoma in the right atrium of a 13-year-old domestic shorthair cat. In addition, a distant metastasis was found in the liver.
