Abstract

An 11-year-old female, Golden retriever dog with a history of solid mass on the chest wall was referred to Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, Seoul National University. The mass was firm on palpation. A soft tissue opacity mass with calcified foci around the right 7th rib and extrapleural patterns around the right 5th rib and 7th rib was shown on thoracic radiographs. The mass of the 7th rib has a mixed-echo pattern with a strong acoustic shadowing and internal vascular signals on ultrasonography. On CT scan, the mass showed contrast enhancement effect, expansive pattern of intrathoracic and extrathoracic legion around costochondral junction. The 7th rib appeared mildly lytic. The mass of the 5th rib had a soft tissue swelling without bone lysis. The mass was diagnosed as a sarcoma by fine needle biopsy. Therefore, the mass was surgically removed. Subsequent histopathological study found the mass was chondrosarcoma.
