More Information
Summary:An 8-year-old, spayed female, Doberman pinscher dog was presented to the Ontario Veterinary College Health Sciences Center for evaluation of a large subcutaneous mass on the right cranial ventral abdomen. Computed tomography localized a 6 × 7 cm soft tissue mass to the site of a laparoscopic-assisted gastropexy performed 3 years earlier. Body wall resection with wide surgical margins was performed. Histological evaluation identified the mass as a grade III soft tissue sarcoma with clean surgical margins. To the authors' knowledge, this report is the first to detail a case of a soft tissue sarcoma that is suspected to have originated at and/or infiltrated into tissues that were previously incised during a surgical procedure. Key clinical message: Based on this case, there is a possibility of a clinical correlate to the feline injection site sarcoma in the canine species.
