“…1 Reports of adjuvant chemotherapeutic treatments following surgical excision in humans with angioleiomyosarcomas are scarce, but have described the use of ifosfamide, vepeside, doxorubicin and vincristine. 21 In this case, as the tumour was a low-grade sarcoma and clean margins were obtained, local recurrence was considered less likely. Because of this, adjuvant medical therapy or further local therapy was not warranted as the risks of adverse effects of these treatments were considered to be higher than the potential benefits.…”

A female spayed domestic longhair cat aged 3 years and 9 months was referred for investigation of regurgitation and weight loss of 2 months' duration. Thoracic radiographs revealed a soft tissue mass within the cranial mediastinum causing focal oesophageal dilation. Computed tomography confirmed a contrast-enhancing mass located cranial to the heart base, possibly originating from the oesophagus. Exploratory thoracotomy revealed an intramural soft tissue mass within the ventral oesophageal wall. Surgical excision of the mass and reconstruction of the oesophagus around an oesophageal tube was performed successfully. Histopathological examination of the mass was compatible with a spindle cell tumour with a prominent vasoformative component. Immunohistochemistry was positive for α-smooth muscle actin and von Willebrand factor protein, and negative for CD117/c-kit protein. Both histopathological and immunohistochemical findings confirmed the diagnosis of an angioleiomyosarcoma. The cat was clinically well 6 months postoperatively. To our knowledge, this is the first report of an oesophageal angioleiomyosarcoma in a cat.
