A 9 year old Dobermann bitch was presented with a history of inappetance and non- productive cough for over a week. The animal was dull and depressed with pale conjunctival mucous membrane. Thoracic radiography revealed radio-dense mass at the base of the heart in the lung region. Hematology revealed anemia, thrombocytopenia and serum biochemistry showed an increase in BUN, creatinine and reduced total protein and albumin values. The animal collapsed during the course of the treatment. Post mortem examination revealed a hard grayish - white mass in the left apical lobe.
