Abstract
A 5 years old non-descript female goat was presented to Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, Veterinary College and Research
Institute, Namakkal for treatment with the history of progressive growth at the base of the left ear pinna. Grossly, the mass was
large, circular and fi rm in consistency. The whole left ear pinna along with entire mass was removed surgically. Tissue pieces from
multiple areas of the mass were collected in 10% formalin and processed for histopathological examination. Microscopically, the
mass consisted of interwoven bundles of immature fi broblasts and intermixed with elongated muscle fi bers. The histomorphology
pa ern of the tumour was studied by Van Gieson stain to diff erentiate muscle cell with connective tissue collagen fi bers. The cells
were fusiform to ovoid shape with hyperchromatic and elongated / plump nuclei. Based on histopathological picture and special
staining, the case was confi rmed as fi brosarcoma. This case report describes the successful surgical removal of fi brosarcoma on
ear pinna in a non- descriptive female goat.
