Resumo
Primary cardiac tumors are considered rare in all
domestic animals, however heart-base tumors or
chemodectomas or paragangliomas have been
described primarily in dogs. This report refers to a
boxer male dog, 14 years old, with chronic cough.
The clinic, radiographic and electrocardiographic
exams defined the diagnosis of dilated cardiomyopathy
and the animal was treated accordingly. The
animal progressively improved but after seven
months the dog suddenly died and was submitted
to necropsy. The main gross alteration observed
was a heart-base mass. Samples of this neoplasia
were fixed and sent to histopathology. After microscopic evaluation the diagnosis of aortic body tumor
was conferred. The low incidence of primary chemoreceptors
tumors motivates this report and adds
clinical, epidemiological and anatomopathological
data to veterinary literature.
