Abstract
A geriatric dog presented for lethargy, dyspnea, and urinary incontinence. Thoracic radiographs demonstrated a large, mixed fat, and soft tissue opaque axillary mass and a pulmonary mass. Computed tomography (CT) further characterized these masses and revealed innumerable fat-attenuating hepatic masses and cranial mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Histopathology of the axillary and hepatic masses confirmed grade two primary axillary liposarcoma with hepatic metastasis. Cytology of the pulmonary mass was consistent with a pulmonary carcinoma. This is the first published CT description of fat-attenuating metastatic hepatic liposarcoma in a dog.
