Primary cardiac neoplasms are rare in humans and animals. In humans, the most common primary cardiac tumor is the myxoma, which is frequently found in the left atrium. Cardiac myxoma has been reported in the dog but not in the cat. We describe the gross, immunohistochemical, and light microscopic examination of a myxoma in the right atrium of a 6-year-old domestic shorthair cat. Histologically, the tumor consisted predominantly of mesenchymal cells with several foci of bone and cartilage present. The tumor was encapsulated and benign.
原发性心脏肿瘤在人类和动物中都很罕见。在人类中，最常见的原发性心脏肿瘤是黏液瘤，常发生于左心房。犬类也有心脏黏液瘤的报道，但猫尚未见报道。我们描述了一只6岁家养短毛猫右心房黏液瘤的大体、免疫组化和光学显微镜检查结果。组织学上，肿瘤主要由间充质细胞组成，伴有多个骨和软骨灶。该肿瘤有包膜，为良性。
