Popis: A 4-year-old Springer Spaniel was referred because of a 6-week history of progressive left forelimb lameness. A marked pain response was elicited by palpation over the left accessory carpal bone. Radiography revealed a lytic, markedly expansile lesion of the accessory carpal bone. The bone was excised, and pancarpal arthrodesis was performed. Histologic examination of the excised bone revealed giant cell tumor. At 14 months after surgery, the dog was using the limb normally. Radiography of the carpus revealed satisfactory progression of the arthrodesis, and thoracic radiographs were negative for metastases.
