Case Reports

Retroperitoneal extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma in a dog

JS Munday and A Prahl

Department of Veterinary Pathology, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Georgia, Athens 30602, USA.

A young adult female Mastiff dog developed a large retroperitoneal mass, pleural effusion, and multiple pulmonary and pleural nodules. All masses were diagnosed as mesenchymal subtype chondrosarcomas, using histological and immunohistochemical criteria. Reports of canine extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcomas (EMCs) are rare but involved animals less than 3 years of age in 60% of the cases. This is the first description of this type of tumor developing distant metastases. Evidence from this case and previous reports suggests that EMCs are associated with a poor prognosis.
