Abstract

A case of leiomyosarcoma is reported in a 9-year-old female Jin Do. The dog has been suffered from 1 week history of abdominal distension, dyspnea, depression and anorexia. On routine physical examination, radiology and ultrasound, a large occupying mass was noted in the reptroperitoneum. Due to poor prognosis, the uterine mass removed by ovariohystrectomy and submitted to pathology department for diagnosis. Grossly, the mass was firm, tan and contained several areas that were necrotic and hemorrhagic. (omitted)
