Abstract
A six year-old male Maltese dog was presented to the Konkuk University Veterinary Teaching Hospital (KUVTH) with mass in right scapula region. Physical examination, radiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), complete blood count (CBC), serum biochemistry, cytological analysis of fine needle aspiration and histopathological examination were performed. There was no remarkable finding in CBC. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was found to be increased in serum chemistry profile. Osteolysis was seen on radiographs of the scapula. MRI revealed mixed signal intensity in scapula. Cytological examination of fine-needle aspirate (FNA) was suggestive of sarcoma. We confirmed that the neoplastic cells were fibrosarcoma by immunohistochemical and Masson's trichrome staining.
6연령의 말티즈 견이 오른쪽 견갑부의 종괴로 내원하였다. 신체검사와 자기공명영상(MRI)의 평가, 전체혈구 계산 (CBC), 혈청화학검사, 미세흡인 생검(FNA), 조직학적인 평가가 이루어졌다. 전체혈구계산 검사에서는 정상범위를 나타내었으며, 혈청화학 검사상에서는 ALP의 증가를 보였다. 방사선 소견에서 견갑골의 완전한 골 융해 소견을 보였으며, 자기공명영상에서는 혼재된 신호강도를 보였다. 면역조직화학(염색과 Masson's trichrome 염색) 소견에 근거하여, 섬유육종으로 최종진단 되었다.
