Zusammenfassung:Cockatiels (Nymphicus hollandicus) are exotic birds thatoriginated from Australia. Because of their beauty and learning ability, they are one of the most popular pet birds among the Psittaciformes. The objective of this study was to report a case of leiomyosarcoma on the humeral musculature of the left wing of a cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus). The animal was admitted to the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center (NURFS-CETAS) of the Universidade Federal de Pelotas with swelling in the humeral region of the left wing. During surgery, the animal died and was transferred to the Laboratorio Regional de Diagnostico, Faculdade de Veterinaria (LRD-UFPel). During histopathological evaluation (hematoxylin and eosin routine technique) of the tumor, spindle neoplastic cells were observed, arranged in interlaced bundles amongst degenerate and normal muscle fibers. Using immunohistochemistry, neoplastic cells were positively immunostained for vimentin and alpha smooth muscle actin. Based on of clinical-pathological and immunohistochemical findings, leiomyosarcoma was diagnosed. Key words: psittaciformes, sarcomas, alpha actin, birds, vimentin. As calopsitas (Nymphicus hollandicus) sao aves exoticas originarias da Australia. Devido a beleza e capacidade de aprendizado sao uma das principais aves utilizadas como animal de companhia. O objetivo deste trabalho foi relatar um caso de leiomiossarcoma, na musculatura umeral da asa esquerda de uma calopsita. O animal deu entrada no Nucleo de Reabilitacao da Fauna Silvestre (NURFS-CETAS) da Universidade Federal de Pelotas (UFPel), por apresentar aumento de volume na regiao umeral da asa esquerda. Durante o procedimento cirurgico o animal veio a obito, sendo encaminhado ao Laboratorio Regional de Diagnostico, Faculdade de Veterinaria (LRD-UFPel). Na avaliacao histopatologica (Tecnica de rotina Hematoxilina e Eosina) da massa tumoral foram observadas celulas neoplasicas fusiformes, arranjadas em feixes entrelacados, em meio a fibras musculares degeneradas e normais. Na imunohistoquimica verificou-se imunomarcacao positiva das celulas neoplasicas para vimentina e alfa actina, de musculo liso. Diante dos achados clinico-patologicos e imunohistoquimicos determinou-se o diagnostico de leiomiossarcoma. O diagnostico definitivo deste neoplasma requer analise imunohistoquimica. Palavras-chave: psitaciformes, sarcomas, alfa actina, aves, vimentina.
