“…9 The only other non-neoplastic, noninflammatory tissue masses described in the canine pericardium are pericardial cysts and cystic haematomas. [4][5][6]8 Intrapericardial cysts have been comprehensively described in humans and may be congenital (coelomic, lymphangiomatous, bronchogenic, haematic, teratomatous) 6,[13][14][15] or acquired (cystic haematoma, neoplastic cysts, cysticercosis, hydatidosis). 16,17 Depending on their origin, these cysts may be lined by endothelium, epithelium or mesothelium.…”

Two miniature Schnauzer dogs were treated for pericardial masses. In one dog the mass consisted of necrotic fat that was attached to the apex of the pericardium by a pedicle. No obvious communication with the abdomen was present. The second dog had a peritoneopericardial hernia associated with a chronic cystic haematoma. In each case the mass was presumed to have arisen following congenital displacement of the omentum into the pericardium. The pericardial mass was removed and subtotal pericardectomy performed in both dogs. Recovery was complete in each case.

HistoryAn 8-week-old 5-kg (11-lb) sexually intact male English Bulldog was evaluated by a referring veterinarian for dyspnea and weakness of 12 hours' duration. The dog was treated with furosemide (2 mg/kg [0.9 mg/lb], IM) and oxygen supplementation, which resulted in mild improvement in signs of respiratory tract disease.On physical examination, the dog had signs of depression with pale mucous membranes and weak femoral pulses. Inspiratory effort was increased with a marked abdominal component. Heart sounds were muffled, and jugular veins were distended and pulsatile. The abdomen was distended. Results of a CBC and serum biochemical analyses were within reference limits. Radiographs of the thorax were obtained (Figure 1).Determine whether additional imaging studies are required, or make your diagnosis from Figure 1-then turn the page →
