title: A case of biphasic mesothelioma with osseous and chondromatous differentiation in a cat.
abstract: An 11-year-old domestic short hair cat with dyspnea, cyanosis, and pleural effusion died. Necropsy revealed several nodules and masses on the parietal pleura, pericardium, and diaphragm. The tumor contained epithelial and mesenchymal components and displayed osseous and chondromatous differentiation. Tumors cells were positive for pancytokeratin and vimentin. This is the first report of a biphasic mesothelioma with osseous and chondromatous differentiation in this species.
