Abstract

A five-year-old, male, domestic rabbit was referred to us with a tumor-like mass in the abdominal subcutaneous tissues. The mass was left untreated in spite of our advice. Two months later the size of the mass had doubled. Although the mass adhered to the abdominal wall, we were able to remove it surgically. The rabbit recovered, but died 37 days later from respiratory arrest during the repair of an accidental bone fracture. Histopathologically, the tumor turned out to be a malignant fibrous histiocytoma measuring 70×70×65 mm.
