A 12-year-old castrated male Pekingese dog was presented with weakness, exercise intolerance, and anepisode of coughing started 2 weeks earlier upon presentation. Physical examination revealed a grade II/VI left systolicheart murmur. Echocardiographic examination revealed a pericardial effusion and a mass at the heart base locatedbeside the left atrium. The mass beside the left atrium was also visible on the thoracic radiograph after drainage ofthe pericardial effusion. An aortic body tumor was definitely diagnosed based on postmortem histopathologicalexamination and immunohistochemical staining for specific markers. The dog lived 234 days after diagnosis with onlymedical management and without recurrence of the pericardial effusion.
