A seven-year-old male labrador retriever presented in right heart failure with weak femoral pulses, and pleural, abdominal and mild pericardial effusion. No diagnosis could be established initially. Two days later, the dog developed severe pericardial effusion causing cardiac tamponade. A tumour in the right ventricular wall was visualised on ultrasonographic examination. An exploratory thoracotomy was performed and biopsies of the mass submitted for histopathological examination. A diagnosis of rhabdomyosarcoma arising from the myocardium was established. Cardiac rhabdomyosarcoma has been reported in only two dogs. Neither report was associated with pericardial effusion.
一只七岁雄性拉布拉多猎犬因右心衰竭就诊，股动脉搏动微弱，伴有胸腔、腹腔及轻度心包积液。最初未能明确诊断。两天后，该犬出现严重心包积液导致心脏压塞。超声检查发现右心室壁有一个肿瘤。遂进行了开胸探查，并将肿物活检标本送去做组织病理学检查。最终确诊为起源于心肌的横纹肌肉瘤。心脏横纹肌肉瘤仅在两只犬中有报道。两份报告均未提及心包积液。
