“…Primary bone hemangiosarcoma has rarely been reported in different dog breeds and in various skeletal locations, but the cause remains incompletely understood 3. The neoplasm tends to remain confined to the medullary cavity, spreading proximally and distally along the medullary cavity before clinical signs develop 2 3…”

An 11-year-old female spayed Siberian Husky was presented with a left hind, swollen, bleeding mass involving digit 4. Radiographs revealed osteolytic lesions involving the distal phalanx (P3) and part of the middle phalanx (P2). Digit amputation was performed; histopathology was consistent with hemangiosarcoma. Although no signs of systemic involvement were detected around the time of amputation, the patient was euthanised 47 days later due to regional and distant metastasis.

“…21). 28,48,51,63 It is likely that the emergence of digital radiography and advanced imaging modalities such as CT have allowed identification of lesions with lesser degrees of new bone formation, due to higher contrast resolution and lack of superimposition among other factors. In a recent multi-institutional case series of 70 dogs, no significant difference was found between the imaging characteristics of hemangiosarcoma and telangiectatic osteosarcoma, including osteolysis, periosteal reaction, and less frequently osseous proliferation and pathologic fracture.…”

The skeletal system is a common site for neoplasia in dogs and cats, and primary bone tumors may develop from any of the mesenchymal tissues present in bone. Imaging and histopathology are routinely used in the diagnosis of bone tumors, and the 2 techniques are highly complementary. While imaging may be highly suggestive of a specific diagnosis and treatment may be instituted based on this, definitive diagnosis requires histopathology of either incisional or excisional biopsies or an amputation specimen. However, there are a number of diagnostic dilemmas when the pathologist interprets bone biopsy samples, such as distinguishing reactive bone and tumor bone, fracture callus and tumor bone, different benign fibro-osseous lesions, and different types of bone sarcoma. This review outlines the characteristic radiographic and histologic changes associated with these diagnostic problems to aid in resolving them. When a holistic approach is taken to evaluation of the signalment, history, and clinical, radiologic, and microscopic features, a diagnosis may be possible. The pathologist is greatly assisted in the interpretation of bone samples by having access to imaging and should routinely request either the images or the imaging reports if they are not received from submitting veterinarians.
