This is a rare case of osteosarcoma in a rabbit, a bone cancer typically seen in dogs. The study details the clinical, radiographic, and histologic findings of this unusual presentation.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Pathology
  • Comparative Oncology

Background:

  • Osteosarcoma is a primary bone malignancy primarily affecting long bones.
  • While common in canines, osteosarcoma is exceedingly rare in rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus).

Observation:

  • A 6-year-old rabbit presented with lameness and severe forelimb swelling.
  • Computed tomography revealed proliferative and destructive bone lesions.
  • Histopathology showed neoplastic cells producing osteoid, with numerous multinucleated giant cells.

Findings:

  • The case was diagnosed as osteosarcoma based on integrated clinical, radiographic, and histopathologic data.
  • Tumor characteristics were consistent with osteosarcoma observed in canine predilection sites.

Implications:
