The ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) is a wild feline that occurs in all regions of Brazil and, like all animals, can develop neoplasms. Hemangiosarcoma is a malignant neoplasm of endothelial cells, which can occur autonomously in several organs, as well as present in a multicentric form, affecting several organs simultaneously. The present study aims to report a case of multicentric hemangiosarcoma in an ocelot (L. pardalis), male, elderly, resident of the Center for Medicine and Research in Wild Animals (CEMPAS) of the Federal University of Mato Grosso (UFMT), who came to death during transport to the Veterinary Hospital of the Federal University of Mato Grosso (HOVETUFMT), where clinical evaluation would be performed. Necroscopic examination and collection of fragments from various organs were performed for histopathological analysis. Such examinations revealed multiple reddish nodular masses, representing cellular proliferations with the morphological diagnosis, hemangiosarcoma, affecting the liver, kidney, spleen, lung, brain, refuge and endothoracic surface. This is the first report of multicentric hemangiosarcoma in an ocelot (Leopardus pardalis).
