“…Fibrosarcomas are found most commonly in dogs and cats, and have been reported in llamas, alpacas, cattle, ferrets, sheep, goats, and horses. 2,7,8,12,13,16,17 Fibrosarcomas are not commonly found internally and are more common in the skin or subcutis with defined predilection sites in dogs (skin, subcutis, oral, and nasal mucosa) and cats (subcutis) with no defined predilection sites for other domestic species. 15 These tumors more commonly affect adult and geriatric animals, but there have been reports in cats and dogs <6 mo of age; a fibrosarcoma of the nasal and maxilla bones was reported as a congenital finding in a horse.…”

Many neoplasms have been reported in goats; however, neoplasia of the rumen is rarely reported. A 9-y-old castrated male pygmy goat was presented with a history of respiratory stertor, fever, and anorexia. A respiratory diagnostic work-up including skull and thorax radiographs and endoscopy revealed minor enlargement of the arytenoids but no other abnormal findings. After a month of little improvement on symptomatic treatment and worsening general health, the goat was euthanized. On autopsy, the forestomachs, liver, spleen, diaphragm, and the ventral and lateral aspects of the cranial third of the walls of the peritoneal cavity were adhered to one another by fibrinous and fibrous adhesions. Numerous firm, white, up to 2 cm diameter nodules were found throughout the liver. A large sessile mass extended from the rumen wall into the lumen. The rumen mass was a gastrointestinal stromal tumor with metastasis to the liver.
