Plain-English summary
A nine-year-old female mixed-breed dog was brought to the vet because she had been regurgitating food frequently and losing weight over time. Tests, including an endoscopy and special X-rays, showed that there was a mass in her esophagus. Unfortunately, the decision was made to euthanize her, and the examination of the mass revealed that it was an esophageal/gastric adenocarcinoma, which is a type of cancer.
Abstract
A nine-year-old, intact female, mixed-breed dog was presented with a history of chronic regurgitation and weight loss. Endoscopy and contrast radiography confirmed the presence of a distal esophageal mass. The dog was euthanized, and histopathological diagnosis of the mass was an esophageal/gastric adenocarcinoma.
