Abstract

A 7-year-old castrated male Cocker spaniel dog was referred to Gyeongsang National University Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital with a severe abdominal distension. A huge, inhomogeneous fat opacity mass was identified on the abdomen radiographic survey. From the abdominal ultrasonographic examination, the mass was found to have irregular marginated hyperechoic capsule with cellular hypoechoic fluids inside. On the computed tomography, an encapsulated inhomogeneous mass was identified with fat attenuation peripheral and soft tissue attenuation inside. The origin of the mass was confirmed as falciform fat by surgical excision. The resected mass appeared to be a firm reddish-brown color with a smooth surface. The histopathological appearance was a well-differentiated liporsarcoma. The patient has no recurrent signs 1 month after surgery.

7세령의 중성화수컷 코커스파니엘견이 심한 복부팽만을 주증으로 경상대학교 부속동물병원에 내원하였다. 복부방사선상에서 매우 크고 균일한 지방밀도를 보이는 종괴가 확인되었다. 복부초음파검사결과, 종괴는 불규칙한 고에코성의 피막으로 둘러싸여 있었으며, 내부는 세포성의 저에코 액체로 채워져 있었다. 컴퓨터 단층촬영결과, 내부는 지방감쇠를 보이며 주변부는 연부조직감쇠를 보이는 불균질한 종괴로 확인되었으며, 종괴의 기원은 수술적 적출시 겸상 인대에서 유래됨을 확인하였다. 절제된 종괴는 견고하고 적갈색의 표면을 나타내었다. 조직병리학적 검사결과, 분화 지방육종으로 진단되었다. 수술 1개월경과후 재검에서 환자는 특이적인 임상증상을 보이지 않았다.
