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.
