An 18-month-old, female Cane Corso dog was presented with a suspected primary tumor of the tibia. Plain radiographs and computed tomography (CT) of the tibia were highly suggestive of a primary bone neoplasm. A diagnosis of malignant melanoma was made by cytology. Total body survey radiographs, CT scan of the thorax, and abdominal ultrasound excluded the presence of neoplastic lesions other than in the tibia. Limb amputation was performed. Histology and immunohistochemical analysis of the tibial neoplasm confirmed the diagnosis of a melanoma with secondary metastasis to the popliteal lymph node. The dog was alive and in good physical condition 43 months after surgery.
一只18个月大的雌性卡斯罗犬因疑似胫骨原发性肿瘤前来就诊。胫骨的X线平片和计算机断层扫描（CT）高度提示原发性骨肿瘤。通过细胞学检查诊断为恶性黑色素瘤。全身X线检查、胸部CT扫描和腹部超声检查排除了胫骨以外存在肿瘤性病变。进行了肢体截肢术。对胫骨肿瘤的组织学和免疫组织化学分析证实为黑色素瘤并伴有腘窝淋巴结继发性转移。术后43个月，这只狗存活且身体状况良好。
