Abstract
A 5-year-old male French Bulldog was referred to
the surgery service and the preanaesthetic evaluation was considered within
normal limits. Ten days later, the dog was submitted for severe respiratory
distress. An intrathoracic mass was observed in the radiographic and ultrasound
studies. The owner decided to euthanize the dog. On necropsy, a mass was found
expanding the right atrial wall and partially collapsing the right atrium.
Histologically, the mass was diagnosed as a primary cardiac fibrosarcoma.
