- Abstract
Cardiac tumors are rare in cats. Usually the diagnosis can be made on echocardiographic examination. Papillary fibroelastoma in this case is a primary cardiac tumor and is histopathologically defined as benign. However, these types of tumors carry the risk of thromboembolism and may cause complications such as stroke or infarction. In these types of the cases the symptoms are not specific and may vary depending on the size or structure of the mass. In the report a case of papillary fibroelastoma identified echocardiographically in a male tabby cat is discussed.
