AI Article Synopsis

  • A 7-year-old flat-coated retriever was found to have multiple primary tumors in the heart base and lung.
  • Detailed examinations showed that the tumor in the heart was a malignant aortic body tumor, while the lung tumor was a pulmonary histiocytic sarcoma.
  • The finding supports previous reports suggesting that aortic body tumors can commonly occur alongside other primary tumors in dogs.

Article Abstract

A case of multiple primary tumors observed in the heart base and in the lung of a 7-year-old intact female, flat-coated retriever was reported. Morphological differences between both tumors and detailed immunohistochemical study revealed that the cardiac neoplasm was as a malignant aortic body tumor and the lung tumor was a pulmonary histiocytic sarcoma. The occurrence of aortic body tumor with other primary neoplasms has been previously reported in animals suggesting that this might be a common presentation in dogs.
