  • Title: Dynamic tracheal collapse associated with disseminated histiocytic sarcoma in a cat.
    Author: Bell R, Philbey AW, Martineau H, Nielsen L, Pawson P, Dukes-McEwan J.
    Journal: J Small Anim Pract; 2006 Aug; 47(8):461-4. PubMed ID: 16911115.
    Abstract:
    This case report describes an unusual presentation of histiocytic sarcoma in a domestic shorthair cat. Initial investigation revealed a haemodynamically insignificant hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, bronchitis and a mild irregularity of the cervical trachea. The cat's disease progressed over a two-week period. Repeat radiography and tracheoscopy revealed a marked dynamic tracheal collapse associated with a raised plaque-like lesion within the cervical trachea. Subsequent post-mortem examination and histopathology revealed disseminated histiocytic sarcoma involving the trachea and kidneys. This is the first reported case of a histiocytic sarcoma involving the trachea in either dogs or cats.
