  • Title: Mucinous Pleural Effusion in a Dog with a Pulmonary Adenocarcinoma and Carcinomatosis.
    Author: Tropf M, Sellon R, Paulson K, Nelson D.
    Journal: J Am Anim Hosp Assoc; 2015; 51(5):311-4. PubMed ID: 26355581.
    Abstract:
    An 11 yr old castrated male greyhound presented to the Washington State University's Veterinary Teaching Hospital (WSU VTH) for evaluation of a 4 day history of pleural effusion. The pleural effusion had a gelatinous appearance, suggestive of mucus, and was characterized cytologically as a pyogranulomatous exudate with some features suggestive of a carcinoma. Postmortem examination identified a pulmonary mass with evidence of carcinomatosis. Pulmonary papillary adenocarcinoma with carcinomatosis was the histologic diagnosis. Abundant mucin production was present, consistent with a mucinous pulmonary adenocarcinoma. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of a mucinous pulmonary adenocarcinoma with mucus pleural effusion in a dog.
