Spindle cell sarcomas suggestive of peripheral nerve sheath tumoursarising in the tongues of two cats

摘要

Case summaryTwo domestic shorthair cats, one an 11-year-old female neutered cat and the other a 13-year-old male neutered cat, presented with partly raised, well-demarcated masses at the rostral tip of the tongue. Histological examination and immunohistochemical staining were consistent with sarcomas, and were most suggestive of peripheral nerve sheath tumours. One tumour had histological features consistent with a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour (PNST).
