Abstract
|
|
|
|
Subcutanous hemangiosarcoma is rare malignant condition in dogs. An eleven-year-old neutered male Maltese was presented with multicentric cutaneous hemorrhagic nodules followed by lethargy. The patient showed regenerative anemia and thrombocytopenia with skyrocketing D-dimer, indicating that he had disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) on progress. Fine needle aspiration, histopathology, X-ray, and computed tomographic scanning ultimately diagnosed this patient as subcutaneous hemangiosarcoma with disseminated metastasis to the body. Unfortunately, the dog died due to side effects of anti-thrombotic therapy for DIC. This case report described a rare subcutaneous hemangiosarcoma in a Maltese dog.
