  • Title: Primary hemangiosarcoma of the humerus in a Maltese dog.
    Author: Hidaka Y, Hagio M, Uchida K, Hara Y.
    Journal: J Vet Med Sci; 2006 Aug; 68(8):895-8. PubMed ID: 16953096.
    Abstract:
    A 14-year-old intact male Maltese dog was presented with a history of pain and swelling of the left upper forelimb and lameness for 3 weeks. Hematological and radiographical examinations showed regenerative anemia and osteolysis of the humerus. Fine needle aspiration biopsy detected epithelioid- and fibroblast-like anaplastic cells with blood components. A hemorrhagic and osteolytic malignant tumor was suspected, and the affected forelimb was amputated. Histopathologically, the dog was diagnosed with primary hemangiosarcoma of the humerus. Thereafter, metastatic lesions appeared in the skin, and the dog was euthanized 1 month after the operation.
