A 4-year-old intact female Labrador retriever was presented for evaluation of hepatic masses. Abnormalities on CBC and serum biochemistry were anemia, thrombocytosis, and elevated globulins and ALP activity. On laparotomy numerous firm, circular masses throughout the liver, omentum, and on the body wall were evident.

Case Study
03_00227 Lala H Spindle cell carcinoma, liver **Potential COM**
Sonographic Differential Diagnosis
Multifocal, hepatic masses consistent with neoplasia
Image Interpretation
Abdominal sonography shows multifocal, large, hypoechoic, heterogeneous masses throughout the entire liver; the masses measure 3-5 cm in diameter, and they were aspirated for cytologic evaluation.
DX
Spindle cell sarcoma of the liver
Clinical Differential Diagnosis
Neoplasia, granulomatous disease
Sampling
