Abstract: A 7-year-old, white, domestic short hair, female cat was presented with an aural hematoma of the right
pinna, which had been partially resected a year previously. A 3 £ 4 cm mass, macroscopically similar to an
auricular hematoma, was visible on the convex surface and a smaller vascular lesion was present on the ear
margin. Cytological examination of the smaller mass was suggestive of hemangiosarcoma, and a diagnosis
confirmed by histopathologic and immunohistochemical tests. Complete pinnectomy with a wide margin
was performed and during the 3-year follow-up, the cat had no local recurrence or metastasis. We conclude
that hemangiosarcoma should be considered as a potential differential diagnosis in white-coated cats with
an unusual clinical presentation of aural hematoma.
