Retroperitoneal hemangiosarcoma in a Boxer dog caused hindlimb lameness and sciatic nerve deficits. Diagnostic imaging and surgery confirmed the tumor, leading to euthanasia due to hemoperitoneum.

Area of Science:

Veterinary Oncology
Canine Pathology

Background:

Retroperitoneal hemangiosarcoma is a rare and aggressive vascular tumor in dogs.
Clinical presentation can be vague, often mimicking other conditions.

Observation:

A seven-year-old male castrated Boxer presented with chronic hindlimb lameness, muscle atrophy, and sciatic nerve deficits.
Diagnostic imaging (radiography, ultrasonography, CT) identified a retroperitoneal mass involving the L7 vertebra and lumbosacral plexus.

Findings:

Surgical exploration revealed a large retroperitoneal hematoma.
Histopathology confirmed the presence of hemangiosarcoma.
The tumor's involvement of the lumbosacral canal and plexus contributed to neurological deficits.

Implications:
