INTRANASAL OSTEOSARCOMA IN A BLOOD HOUND DOG: COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY, CYTOLOGICAL AND HISTOPATHOLOGICAL FINDINGS

Abstract

Osteosarcoma is a common neoplasm described predominantly in large breed dogs. Most of the cases occur in the long bones, but other anatomical locations, such as axial skeleton and extra-skeletal sites, are also described. Nasal cavity is rarely reported as being a primary site for development of osteosarcoma. Here we describe a rare case of an intranasal osteosarcoma in a dog with computed tomography, cytological and histopathological findings.
