An 8 year old female
racing pigeon weighing 600g presented with lethargy, anorexia and a firm mass
inside the abdominal cavity. Lateral view of radiograph showed a soft tissue
density in caudal part of abdominal cavity without border pushing the gizzard
to the cranial part of abdomen. Microscopic examination revealed a large
non-encapsulated mass in ovarian tissue with small foci of smooth muscle
proliferation. The findings suggest a diagnosis of ovarian leiomyosarcoma
in a pigeon.
