Abstract:
The microscopical and immunohistochemical features of a rare cutaneous leiomyoma in a cat are described. The principal characteristics of this tumour were multiple bundles of smooth muscle, either discrete or conjoined, with numerous collagen fibres between the muscle cells, and osteoid metaplasia. The tumour was designated a piloleiomyoma as it was considered to have arisen from the arrector pili muscles.
