A dog with a history of recurrent pericardial effusion that required repeated pericardiocentesis was presented to the surgical service at the Ontario Veterinary College Health Sciences Centre for thoracoscopic pericardiectomy. Physical examination revealed a subcutaneous mass in the right lateral thorax. Cytology of the subcutaneous mass and histopathology of the pericardium were consistent with mesothelioma. This article details the first reported case of pericardial mesothelioma with suspected extra-thoracic metastasis following pericardiocentesis in a dog.

Primary pericardial mesothelioma is a highly aggressive and rare neoplasm that arises from the pericardial mesothelial cell and has a poor prognosis. The diagnosis is usually established by histological and immunohistochemical studies. Malignant mesothelioma most frequently occurs from the pleura (90%), less frequently from the peritoneum and pericardium (6%-10%), and very rarely from the tunica vaginalis in the testis.

Neoplasms are only sporadically reported in New World primates and rarely in owl monkeys (), specifically. Previous reports of neoplasms in owl monkeys are primarily restricted to lymphoma induced by infection, although other tumors in the central nervous, genitourinary, gastrointestinal, and endocrine systems have been sporadically reported. Herein, we describe 3 previously unreported neoplasms in owl monkeys () including a pericardial mesothelioma in a 6-year-old male, a nephroblastoma in a 2-year-old male, and a cervical neoplasm with characteristics of an epithelioid trophoblastic tumor in a 4-year-old female, all occurring in the same closed breeding colony at a research facility in central Texas.
