A male neutered Domestic Short Hair (DSH) cat was presented to the clinic with a history of limping and perceptible swelling in the left forelimb carpal area. Anamnesis revealed no other visible signs of physical discomfort. The cat had normal appetite and thirst. Grossly grape-sized growth, firm in consistency, was noticed. Followed by a progressive increase in size, resembling a golf ball in the next five months, when the patient was brought for a recheck. The punch biopsy samples taken from the lesion site revealed proliferation of pleomorphic neoplastic spindle cells, arranged in sheets/ fascicles in fibrovascular stroma with infiltrative lymphocytes, plasma cells and neutrophils. The histopathological profile pointed towards spindle cell proliferation consistent with sot tissue sarcoma. Complete surgical excision of the mass was recommended.
