Abstract: A red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) was presented because of dyspnea subsequent to 2 celiotomy procedures. Respiration markedly improved after an air sac cannula was placed. Tracheoscopy revealed a mass firmly adhered to the proximal tracheal wall. Because of lack of response to medical therapy, 5 tracheal cartilages were surgically resected and an end-to-end tracheal anastomosis was performed. On histologic examination of the mass, vacuolated macrophages, fibrosis, and occasional cholesterol clefts were identified, consistent with a diagnosis of xanthogranulomatosis. ...
