Abstract

A 13-year-old spayed female Golden Retriever with clinical signs of weight loss and lethargy presented with two esophageal masses and one sessile polyp on computed tomography and esophagoscopy. Endoscopic snare resection was performed, and histopathological examination was requested. Based on histopathology and immunohistochemistry of multiple myeloma oncogene 1 staining, the patient was diagnosed with esophageal extramedullary plasmacytoma. The patient remained clinically well without any clinical signs during a follow-up period of 12 months. Herein, we report the successful diagnosis and management of esophageal extramedullary plasmacytoma in a dog using endoscopy.
