A 6 year old Wheaten Terrier mix with a history of collapse and lethargy was referred for evaluation of pericardial effusion. The echocardiogram identified pericardial effusion and a right auricular mass. No sign of metastasis was noted at this time in thoracic radiographs and abdominal ultrasounds. The patient underwent the right auriculectomy via right lateral thoracotomy. Several metastatic masses were located in the visceral aspect of the pericardium at the time of surgery and were all excised. The right auricular mass and pericardial masses were diagnosed as hemangiosarcoma with a sign of metastasis. The patient recovered from surgery uneventfully and was discharged the sixth day after surgery. The patient received doxorubicin followed by cyclophosphamide, piroxicam and extract postoperatively. Pulmonary metastases were noted 229 days and the dog was euthanized 318 days after surgery. No clinical signs were noted until 309 days postoperatively.
一只6岁的惠比特犬混血儿，有虚脱和嗜睡病史，因心包积液接受评估。超声心动图检查发现心包积液和右心房肿块。胸部X光片和腹部超声检查此时未发现转移迹象。患者通过右侧胸廓切开术接受了右心耳切除术。手术时在心包脏层发现几个转移瘤，并全部切除。右心房肿块和心包肿块被诊断为血管肉瘤伴转移迹象。患者术后顺利康复，术后第六天出院。患者术后接受了阿霉素治疗，随后是环磷酰胺、吡罗昔康和提取物。术后229天发现肺转移，术后318天对该犬实施安乐死。术后309天前未出现临床症状。
