A 12-year-old spayed, female Siberian Husky dog weighing 40 kg was referred for sudden collapse withouta traumatic history. A splenic mass and hemoperitoneum were identified by ultrasonography and abdominocentesisat a local animal hospital. Emergency exploratory laparotomy was performed once the patient was stabilized. A splenicmass and engorged hepatic mass in the torsed left liver lobe were identified. Partial hepatic lobectomy of the leftlateral lobe was performed using a laparoscopic linear self-cutting stapler and the spleen was also removed using anultrasonic scalpel. Histopathologic examination revealed a diagnosis of splenic hemangiosarcoma with metastasis tothe liver. Chemotherapy was not performed because the client did not give consent. The patient was checked regularlyuntil death on POD 324. The metastatic nodules had spread to the lungs and other liver lobes and had graduallyincreased in size. Liver lobe torsion is a rare condition in dogs, especially accompanying neoplasia. This case supportsa potential relationship between liver lobe torsion and neoplastic liver mass in dogs.
