Abstract: This report details a retroperitoneal myxosarcoma in a cat that exhibited extremely aggressive biological behavior. An exploratory midline celiotomy revealed a left-sided retroperitoneal mass firmly adhered to the hypaxial musculature.Histopathological evaluation identified the mass as a myxosarcoma. Following surgical excision, the mass rapidly recurred within 6 weeks after surgery.

ObjectiveTo describe the clinical and pathological characteristics of a neoformation suggestive of myxosarcoma in a cat's eyelid.Animal StudiedAn 11‐year‐old mixed‐breed castrated female cat presented with a nodule on the lower eyelid approximately 1.6 cm in diameter, multilobulated, non‐ulcerated, soft, and adhered to both the skin and conjunctiva of the lower eyelid.ProceduresThe incisional biopsy revealed findings suggestive of a peripheral nerve sheath tumor. After performing an exenteration of the right eyeball to ensure a safe surgical margin, the tissue samples were sent for histopathological analysis and later for immunohistochemistry.ResultsMicroscopic evaluation classified the mass as a grade‐I mesenchymal neoplasm, suggesting myxosarcoma and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor as differential diagnoses. An immunohistochemical examination was carried out to differentiate the neoplasm. Once tumors of neural origin were excluded, the diagnosis of myxosarcoma was indicated as the most likely.ConclusionWe report a presumed case of eyelid myxosarcoma in a cat, highlighting its relevance in the differential diagnosis in the evaluation of eyelid and conjunctival neoplasms in cats.
