Abstract

An 8-year-old neutralized male Dachshund was presented with severe vomiting, anorexia, and weight loss for two weeks. The patient had to feed in a standing position due to problem of vomiting immediately after meal. Serum chemistry and CBC results were all within reference limits. CT imaging revealed a mass distributed widely in the caudal part of the esophagus including the sphincter and the gastric cardia. Complete surgical removal was difficult because of adhesion to the caudal vena cava. A partial surgical excision and gastropexy with MIC-key feeding tube were performed under the owner's permission. Histologically, the mass was interpreted as leiomyoma. This patient is doing well at present time, six years after the tube installation in 2015.
