Atrioventricular bundle degeneration associated with sudden death in the dog.

Twelve dogs that were necropsied after sudden unexpected death, sudden episodes of viciousness, or seizure disorder were found to have degeneration of the atrioventricular bundle of the heart. In addition, hypoxic-type degeneration was found in the hippocampus and the dorsal one-half of the midportion of the cerebral cortex of the dogs.

Leiomyosarcoma of the urinary bladder in a cat.

An 81/2-year-old female domestic short-haired cat was admitted with signs of chronic cystitis. Radiography revealed marked and irregular thickening of the bladder wall. Biopsy revealed the thickening to be a malignant tumor of muscle origin and treatment with proteolytic enzymes was instituted. After one month, the cat was euthanatized because of uremia associated with progressive tumor growth. At necropsy the bladder was grossly thickened. The histopathologic diagnosis was leiomyosarcoma.
