  • Title: Pericardial mesothelioma in a Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris).
    Author: Wiedner EB, Isaza R, Lindsay WA, Case AL, Decker J, Roberts J.
    Journal: J Zoo Wildl Med; 2008 Mar; 39(1):121-3. PubMed ID: 18432108.
    Abstract:
    A 17-year-old Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris) presented with dyspnea and tachypnea. Radiographs revealed severe pleural and pericardial effusion, but no obvious mass. During attempts to remove the fluid under anesthesia, the cat developed cardiac tamponade and died. At necropsy, a nodular mass was found at the heart base and was identified as a pericardial mesothelioma. This is the first report of this tumor in any large cat.
