Abstract
A 12-year-old neutered male Shih Tzu presented with constipation and dyschezia. Abdominal radiographs showed distension of the descending colon and dorsal compression of the colon by a soft tissue mass. The mass was well-marginated with homogeneous soft tissue attenuation and showed no evidence of metastasis on computed tomography (CT). The dynamic CT showed a consistently mild contrast enhancement. The perfusion and capillary permeability were lower than those of the gluteal muscle. The tentative imaging diagnosis was a benign intrapelvic tumor, which rarely shows angiogenesis. The mass was excised, and a leiomyoma was confirmed by histopathologic examination.
