Fig. 2-85 A <strong>and</strong> B, A 9-year-old female cat with an acute<br />

onset of respiratory distress. On the two lateral thoracic<br />

radiographs that were obtained, there is a soft-tissue<br />

density in the trachea at the level of the first rib (arrows).<br />

The tracheal lumen is narrowed. The margins of the<br />

mass are distinct. The radiographic findings indicate an<br />

intraluminal tracheal mass. Diagnosis: Metastatic neoplasm<br />

within the trachea.<br />

Fig. 2-86 A 7-year-old neutered<br />

male domestic short-haired cat with<br />

dyspnea of 3 days duration. The lateral<br />

radiograph reveals a sharply<br />

marginated mass within the lumen<br />

of the trachea (arrows). The mass<br />

could not be seen on the ventrodorsal<br />

view due to the superimposed<br />

spine <strong>and</strong> sternum. Diagnosis:<br />

Tracheal chondroma. The mass was<br />

successfully removed at surgery.
