Plain-English summary
A cat diagnosed with fibrosarcoma, a type of cancer that can form tumors in the soft tissues, underwent surgery for treatment. The veterinarians focused on careful planning and technique to ensure the best possible outcome for the cat's recovery and appearance. They also prioritized pain management before and after the surgery to help the cat feel more comfortable. With this approach, the cat had a better chance of healing well and minimizing discomfort during recovery.

Abstract
Aggressive and complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice for fibrosarcomas in cats. Thorough preoperative planning and meticulous surgical technique are necessary for optimal cosmetic, functional, and oncologic outcome. Perioperative pain management with an emphasis on preemptive analgesia and multimodal analgesia is essential to minimize patient morbidity.
