Abstract
A 10-year-old, spayed female beagle was presented with a 2.5-year hist ory of ascites. The ascitic fluid was a modified transudate with no ab normal cells present. cardiac and hepatic functions were normal. Abdom inal ultrasonography revealed cystic abnormalities of the peritoneal s erosal surfaces. On exploratory laparotomy, the parietal and visceral peritonea were covered with variably sized, thin-wailed cysts containi ng serous fluid. Histopathological, imunohistochemical, and ultrastruc tural analyses of the lesions were consistent with a diagnosis of cyst ic, peritoneal mesothelioma.
