| Popis: |
The objective of the present case series was to investigate the various computed tomography findings of six dogs diagnosed with extraskeletal osteosarcoma (exOSA) at several locations. Among the tumors evaluated, four were subcutaneous, one was mammary, and one involved the intestinal tract. Intralesional mineralization was observed in all six dogs. Most of the tumors were moderately calcified, exhibited amorphous mineralization, and were heterogeneous on post-contrast imaging. Three of the tumors were peripherally enhanced, and regional lymphadenopathy was identified in two of the dogs, which was presumed to be metastatic. No lymph node calcification was reported. Although the presence of intralesional mineralization is not a pathognomonic finding, it was consistently identified in the present case series. Therefore, exOSA should be considered in the differential diagnosis when mineralization occurs in a mass unrelated to osseous structures. |
