O trabalho descreve os aspectos clínico-patológicos e radiográficos de proliferação óssea e fibrosa periostal, com alargamento no perímetro da extremidade distal dos membros torácicos. No exame anatomopatológico, observou-se no coração exemplares de Dirofilaria immitis e, no esôfago, formação tumoral (fibroma), responsável pelo quadro de disfagia e dos episódios eméticos.
