An 11-year-old, castrated male greyhound was referred to the Michigan State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital for surgical removal of a thoracic mass. Thoracic radiographs revealed a smoothly marginated mass obscuring the diaphragm in the left caudal thorax. Ultrasonographic and computed tomographic imaging modalities demonstrated a mass originating from the left hemidiaphragm. The mass was surgically removed and submitted for histopathological evaluation. Histopathology and immunohistochemical staining confirmed a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor.
一只11岁的去势雄性灵缇犬被转诊至密歇根州立大学兽医教学医院，以便手术切除胸部肿块。胸部X光片显示左后胸部有一个边缘光滑的肿块，遮挡了膈肌。超声和计算机断层扫描成像方式显示肿块起源于左半膈肌。该肿块被手术切除并送去进行组织病理学评估。组织病理学和免疫组化染色证实为恶性外周神经鞘瘤。
