Abstract: A 15-year-old, spayed female, domestic shorthair cat was presented to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine with a 2-day history of inappetence. On physical examination, a firm mass was palpated in the thoracic inlet. Thoracic radiographs revealed moderate pleural effusion as well as new bone proliferation associated with the ribs of the right cranial thoracic wall in the area of the mass (Figure 1). Due to the suspicion of neoplasia, and associated poor prognosis, the owner of the cat elected to have her euthanized.
