|
A 10-year-old intact female, mixed breed dog presented with abdominal distention of 2 months durationand three days of decreased appetite. The patient was conscious and no other gross abnormalities were noted. A tentativediagnosis of idiopathic massive hematoma or hemangiosarcoma was made on evaluating all clinical findings. Splenectomy was performed for treatment of abdominal distention and histopathological investigation was initiated toconfirm the diagnosis. The hematoma was extremely massive on gross morphology, with the size of 20.2 × 12.4 cmand the splenic mass was diagnosed as hematoma formation, with moderate to marked lymphoid hyperplasia andadjacent moderate extramedullary hematopoiesis, based on microscopic description of spleen histology. This is the firstcase report in veterinary literature of a dog with extremely rare splenomegaly, an unusually large hematoma, withno malignancy or remarkable clinical signs.
