A 9-year-old, castrated male Japanese domestic cat presented with a complaint of exertional dyspnea. Based on the radiographic findings, presumptive diagnosis of aspiration pneumonia or primary diffuse pulmonary neoplasia in the right middle lobe was made. Histologically, the pulmonary lesion was characterized by diffuse thickening of alveolar wall with the proliferation of apparently atypical irregular-shaped cells. Immunohistochemical staining using anti-human factor VIII-related antigen antiserum showed positive reaction in the cytoplasm of the atypical cells. According to the findings, the lesion was diagnosed as pulmonary intravascular hemangiosarcoma.
