Summary

Buprenorphine (0.012 mg) was given intramuscularly as a preanesthetic 20 minutes prior to anesthetic induction using isoflurane. A CO2 laser (0.8 mm ceramic tip, 5 W, continuous pulse) was used to remove the mass. The ferret made an uneventful recovery.

Histopathologic finding of the mass revealed an expansile, neoplastic population of spindloid and his-tiocytic cells. The neoplastic cells were 20—1-0 (xm in diameter with large ovoid nuclei, clumped chro-matin, and abundant, eosinophilic, finely vacuolated cytoplasm. These cells were interspersed with abundant, loose collagen bundles. Numerous multinucleated giant cells were also present. Superficial dermal aggregates of lymphocytes and plasma cells were also found. Neo-plastic cells extended to, but did not cross, auricular cartilage. The histopathologic diagnosis was malignant fibrous histiocytoma.
